The mellow R&B Remix by another [Bad Boy](/source/Bad_Boy_Records) associate, producer [Chucky Thompson](/source/Chucky_Thompson) was also included on certain editions of the single. There were slight [lyrical](/source/Lyrics) differences on this mix including no [rap](/source/Rapping), a spoken intro by Keisha, repositioning of the bridge and Keisha & Pam this time providing background vocals to their respective [B-Sections](/source/Song_structure_(popular_music)). ## Music video The original version features members of the group in several different outfits including one set resembling biker gear with background colours of white, red, green and gold.
