The song was first released on March 16, 2010, through the US iTunes Store as the third promotional single in countdown to the album's release. Additionally it was featured as the iTunes-only bonus track on Raymond v. Raymond before later being included on the deluxe edition of the album, and his EP Versus.

The single version was remixed by RedOne and Jimmy Joker, for a US release on November 22, 2010, and in the UK on December 13, 2010.
