Composition and critical reception
In regard to style, the song has been considered similar to that of rapper Heavy D's music.[2] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews wrote of the song, "Listening to the song you can't help but think of Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley and Keith Sweat – it's classic 1990's new jack swing all the way. Given the contentious relationship between Chris Brown and Rihanna, the lyrics from the suave and seductive Markie Dee seem apt even today."[3]
