Songfacts®:

  • Jason Derulo and Jennifer Lopez trade off flirtatious verses over Matoma's bubbly beat. Norwegian DJ and record producer from Matoma is best known for his club remix of the track "Old Thing Back" by The Notorious B.I.G., which reached #2 in his home country.
  • Recording with Jennifer Lopes was remarkably fun for Jason Derulo. "We actually danced the entire night," he recalled to Entertainment Tonight. "[The song] has this addicting feel, but more importantly it has a Caribbean vibe about it and that's our roots. She is Puerto Rican and I am Haitian, so our roots are in this song... I think people are going to dig it."
