Song Information

The song was written by Beenie Man and produced by award-winning duo The Neptunes. It was released as a single on September 16 2002 , peaking in the top 20's and 30's in most countries. It spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #28. It also peaked at #9 on the UK Singles Chart.

However, its release also sparked controversy, as UK Gay Rights group OutRage! called for a boycott of the single, citing Beenie Man's "history of homophobic dancehall lyrics." [ [http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,800256,00.html Beenie there, done that | | guardian.co.uk Arts ] ] In 2004, Jackson expressed her regret for the duet, saying "If I had known that (he was associated with homophobia), I would not have worked with him. It's shocking to me. We're on the same label, so I should have known. But at the same time, I wish someone from the company would have told me, knowing how... I feel about the gay community."
