ong information

The song deals with the popularity and sexual attention rappers receive because of their money, and contrasts this with way Jones was treated before achieving success. The song is sometimes seen as a critique of effects of fame; conversely, it is often considered to present a misogynistic or chauvinistic attitude toward women. The following line, which is repeated many times during the song, sums up the general attitude of the lyrics: "Back then ho's didn't want me, now I'm hot ho's all on me."

Chart performance

The single became Mike Jones' most successful single to date, peaking at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100, performing better than his last single "Still Tippin'", which only peaked at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The single became a success on the Hot Rap Tracks chart, and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart where it peaked at #6 and #15 respectively, while becoming a moderate hit on the Pop 100 chart where peaked only at #45. The song was also a moderate success on the Hot Digital Songs chart, where it peaked at #26 and eventually went Platinum, becoming Jones' first platinum single.
