Production

The album was produced by 95 South's Daddy Black and AB, with help from Jayski. [7] [8] It was recorded in Jacksonville and Orlando. [7]

Critical reception

The Oklahoman wrote: "The lyrics become redundant, and the beats fuse into a monotone. Perhaps AB and Daddy Black should go back to doing what they're talented at the most—producing remixes for other artists." [9] The Austin Chronicle thought that "the wet 'n' wild Orlando collective's bass-quakin' big-booty thump is tighter than a string bikini and more refreshing than an open fridge." [10] Billboard called the title track "fun-loving" and praised the "infectious bassline and the catchy hook." [11]
