I actually had the beats for like 3 months just sitting in my computer and then I said, 'You know what? This sounds like a summer, R&B classic joint 'and I just could not hear anyone else on it but Chris Brown. So I reached out to Ester Dean and I said, 'Could you write something for Chris Brown?' Because she's amazing with writing and especially for his voice, she has a great skill to write for his tone and she sent it, i fell in love with it, you know cause everybody has had a relationship like this song is talking about, [so ] i went in and i wrote my rap, cause i'm rapping and singing in the song, and when we put it all together and let people hear it, everybody was like, this is a hit, release this asap.
