Brown performed the song on his 2009 Fan Appreciation Tour, and on Black Entertainment Television's "SOS Saving Ourselves: Hope for Haiti Telethon", to raise money for the country after the 2010 earthquake that devastated the area. Eric Ditzian of "MTV News" noted that although the song was rumored to be about Rihanna, "the lyrics also at times seemed to fit the evening's focus, like when Brown sang, "If we crawl till we can walk again/ Then we'll run until we're strong enough to jump."
