Songfacts®:

This is the first single from the soundtrack to the Denzel Washington movie American Gangster. Written by Diane Warren, it finds Hamilton asking his girl if they share a connection.
The film American Gangster takes place in the '70s, and this song was produced to sound like it was from that era. Of the 14 songs on the soundtrack, 8 were recorded specifically for the album and many of those were done in a '70s style. >>>
Suggestion credit:
Bertrand - Paris, France
Hamilton appears in the movie as part of a funk band.
Hank Shocklee produced this track. Shocklee was a member of the "Bomb Squad," who were responsible for Public Enemy's beats. Public Enemy's "Can't Truss It" is also on the American Gangster soundtrack, as are 4 of Shocklee's own tracks.
