Background

Chris Brown teased the song on Instagram on July 15, 2025, asking "Should I drop this?" in the captions. The song attracted significant interest from fans, after which he announced the release date on July 23.[1]

The song finds the singers expressing passionate love toward their respective romantic interests,[1][2] although the women they are addressing seem to be already involved with someone else.[2] It samples the bridge of "Nice & Slow",[1] which is slowed down.[2]
