Produced by Dupri, the new single teems with a head-nodding soundscape amplified by sizzling hi-hats and charging bass kicks. Jacquees unleashes an anthemic hook in, “Call me and I come through, and I put it down, what you gon’ do?” Dupri follows with an incendiary verse in his instantly-recognizable signature style. The cinematic music video directed by Diesel Filmsfollows Dupri and Jacquees as they turn up at an arcade. It features a flurry of dancing, fashionable fits, and old-school cars.

“This song really reminds me of some new jack swing type vibes,” says R&B artist Jacquees.”It's always a pleasure to work with JD; that's my bro and I trust his direction. I love the record too and I think the people will also. It's time for some feel-good music.”

Earlier this year, Jermaine Dupri and New Orleans-based rapper and founder of Jet Life Recordings Curren$y unleashed their highly anticipated collaborative EP For Motivational Use Only.
