Inspiration and background
Documented songwriting inspiration
Atlantic executive Sylvia Rhone proposed a version involving rappers. MC Lyte, Queen Latifah and Yo-Yo contributed new parts, giving Brandy's song a different collaborative identity. The remix was released in 1995; it is not treated as an extra 1994 song simply to increase that year's count.
