Songfacts®:

  • The subject matter of this song is a fantasy of what a casual relationship might become.
  • On this R&B jam Carey pokes fun at her own vocal signature with the lyric, "love me down till I hit the top of my soprano." In an interview with Elle Magazine, Carey commented: "The album has a sense of humor-you can hear me laughing out loud at certain points."
  • The song samples "One More Chance" by The Notorious B.I.G.
  • Carey wrote and produced this with Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart (Rihanna's hit "Umbrella") for her 12th studio album, Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. The singer also brought her longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri on board, as well as R&B producer Timbaland, but none of their songs made the album. Timbaland ended up co-writing her Caution track "8th Grade."
