Songfacts®:

  • This Rachel Thibodeau, Rebecca Lynn Howard and Jason Severs penned empowerment song has an R&B vibe. When Martina first heard the demo she loved the feel of the song but it was the lyrics and the melody, which made her want to record it. She told The Boot: " I had never heard anything like it. The woman in the song is strong and stands her ground. She knows she has to leave if he doesn't change, but she really does want him to change. It's bittersweet."
