This was released to urban radio while "California King Bed" was sent to CHR/pop. Fellow Barbadian and pop singer, Shontelle, has a co-writer credit on it. It peaked at #59 on the Hot 100 and #9 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The video was directed by Anthony Mandler. This is definitely my favorite Reggae song by her, and is one of her best videos, IMO.

Was never a big fan of this one. It just never flowed for me.

Her best video to date! I LOVE IT.
As for the song, it's great and a standout in her catalog, but I don't love it as much as I used to back then.

One of my most played songs of 2011. This should have been a big #1 hit in the summer. :x What a waste and what a lack of taste. At least it was kind of an urban hit, but still.

I hated it at the time, but it's okay now.
I think I hated it mostly because of the lyric "He could have been somebody's son."

This is amazing on record but some live performances are just tragic imo, it's a hit or miss for her. Anyway, this is so catchy and I love her delivery on this one! ![:love:](http://i.imgur.com/2smy76v.gif)

Not a huge fan of this, "could've been somebody's son" irks me and the lyrics are not the best, but the song is still pretty good and I don't mind listening to it!

Loved this at the time and still think it's definitely her best video.

I loved this then and still do now, one of her best singles. The Beckys that championed the release of CKB over this should be slapped.

My 3rd favorite song off of Loud ("Only Girl" & "What's My Name" are my two favourites). Still listen to this often.

Absolutely my favorite from Loud!! Love that she was returning to her Caribbean roots!

This gets much better with time. I disliked it back in the day but it's such a great track. Deserved more chart-wise.
