The song, which was produced by the Trackmasters and based on an interpolation of Carl Carlton's "She's a Bad Mama Jama", became a semi-successful hit, peaking at 53 on the Billboard Hot 100, Foxy's second highest charting single as a solo artist. The single was released with the then recently reunited EPMD's "Never Seen Before" as the B-side.
