The original version of the song featured Lil Wayne, but was changed due to Def Jam wanting to have a fellow Def Jam artist on the song.[1] The song was produced by Steve Morales.[2] Upon release, the song premiered on iTunes.
On the week dated April 21, 2007 the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 83.[3] This song samples Jay-Z's line, "said she loved my necklace, started relaxing, now that's what the fuck I call a chain reaction" from the 1998 Jermaine Dupri song, "Money Ain't a Thang".
The video features cameos from Blood Raw, Red Cafe and Slick Pulla.
