Songfacts®:

  • The third single from Usher's seventh album, Looking For Myself, is a whimsical and seductive urban track in which the singer wants to get it on with his lady and has "gotta know if" she is ready to slip out of her skirt. The Jim Jonson produced track premiered on April 30, 2012 and was made available for purchase as a digital download on May 8, 2012.
  • Rapper Rick Ross steps in half way through the cut with some rhymes. "Well, me and Rick Ross had been talking about working together solo," Usher told MTV News about the song. "We had actually done something before with 'So Sick and Tired' with DJ Khaled, but this was one of those ones it needed a boss on it."
  • Other Usher collaborations with hip-hop artists include the 2004 team-up with Lil Jon and Ludacris "Yeah!" with Lil Jon and Ludacris and his 2008 chart-topper with Jeezy, "Love In This Club."
  • During a conversation with The Boombox, Usher explained the song serves as a reminder for listeners of an earlier, edgier version of himself.
