Prior to the collaboration with Norwood, Foster listened to her previous music and especially focused on "Sittin' Up in My Room" from 1995. He was inspired by the background song on the song and wanted to find the person who created it. "I really liked the background song. I wanted the same person who made it to work with us on the new song. I asked who it was and it turned out that it was completely created by Brandy. I could not understand it!" Foster continued: "I must admit, I have never worked with anyone who can make background singing so easy." Norwood had arranged and recorded the background song in less than two hours.
