It was released on October 3, 2000, as the second single from their fourth album, Stankonia. It topped the US charts, and won a 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. It also reached number one in Germany and number two in the United Kingdom, held from the top spot by Atomic Kitten 's `` Whole Again ''. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 81 on its list of the `` 150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years '' and in June of the same year Rolling Stone ranked it at number 55 in their `` 100 Best Songs of the 2000s ''. The single helped sell the album following the commercial underperformance of the lead single `` B.O.B. '', which, despite nearly universal acclaim from critics, failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 and only reached number 69 on the Billboard Hot R&B / Hip - Hop Songs chart.

Then I just converted it over into something people could understand a little bit more. '' The song was inspired, in part, by Andre 's relationship with Erykah Badu and her mother. Content The song discusses the problems that break - ups, separation, and divorce can have on a couple, and the animosity that a woman 's mother can have for her daughter 's former boyfriend or husband. The video works as a possible metaphor for the duo 's `` stormy '' relationships with the mothers of their children and their families ( themes expressed by the duo in the song ). The storm theme is alluded to in the song, particularly by André 3000 : `` Me and your daughter got a special thing going on / You say it 's puppy love, we say it 's full grown / Hope that we feel this, feel this way forever / You can plan a pretty picnic, but you ca n't predict the weather, Ms. Jackson. '' The song samples The Brothers Johnson 's version ( with pitch shifting and reversing ) of `` Strawberry Letter 23 '' by Shuggie Otis and features an altered version of a tune from `` Bridal Chorus '' from the opera Lohengrin by German composer Richard Wagner ( also known as the `` wedding march '' ), played on piano.
