Background and composition

During an interview with Billboard, Jones described the song as a "happy medium" record that she want in her music, saying: "Things change, and I want to give my fans what I did and little bit of something new. And another thing too: my fans have seen me on some hardcore shit. They've seen me on some gutter 'I'm a gangstress, I will shoot yo ass if you play me or you steal from me.' They've seen that. I've done that. And last but not least... I've lived that. So it's like, let's see another side of Kim. Why not? Let's see a fun side, a sexy side." [4] The song samples the 1989 song “When I See You Smile” by Bad English.
