Background
The song samples the 1983 ballad, International Lover by Prince. After the single was first teased on Valentine's Day on February 14, 2023,[3] Usher said: "I think it is striking conversation about R&B, striking conversation about sex, and it’s striking conversation about that connection. And I like that. It feels connected. It feels like people want it. People feel like they want to have fun."[4]
