The Elusive Chanteuse (2014), and features rapper Wale. The track was released on June 30, 2014, as the fourth and final single from the album. It was written by Wale, Carey, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, with production helmed by the latter two. The song contains an interpolation of "I'm Caught Up in a One Night Affair" written by Patrick Adams and Terri Gonzalez, both of whom received songwriting credits as a result.

Carey herself later expressed her discontent on the matter, stating that she had no knowledge of the single's artwork until it was released.
