 A portion of the clip's premise was inspired by Jackson's then-relationship with record producer Jermaine Dupri, which was unconfirmed and had generated speculation within the media. Meyers explained, "In the other video we were shooting, she came out of the trailer wearing a So So Def jacket, and that's when I got the idea,' it would be great if you do a whole video if you look like you do now when you 're going home'. It took her a minute, she thought about it, she asked JD if he 'd be okay with doing the video,' cus I was begging and I was like, 'if I could get the two of you in a simple video together, it's gonna be gold. 'She asked and he said yea, and that's when my video came to life." Meyers also had the idea for Dupri's cameo due to persistent rumors of their relationship circulating in the media, saying "That's the whole concept here, a real simple video and then the slam dunk is JD's in the video. He hasn't been in any of her stuff and all the rumors of 'are they together, are they not together.'"
