It reached #78 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 30, 1991. It also peaked very low on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at #88. An early appearance of TLC, the song features vocals from T-Boz, with a rap verse written by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes thus earning her co-writing credit. The original version of the track, later edited for its album appearance, gained significant controversy for its scathing lyrics directed towards Jermaine's brother Michael. Both versions are featured on the 2014 expanded edition of You Said. There was no music video made for the song.
Background
The origins of the song stem from personal and professional frustration between Jermaine Jackson and his brother, Michael. Jermaine hired the production duo L.A. Reid and Babyface for his album You Said, but production was halted when Michael secretly flew them to Los Angeles to work on his own album, Dangerous. The primary catalyst for the song was this professional slight, compounded by a growing family estrangement, as Michael had refused to return family phone calls for months.
