Recording and background

"That was the first time I had been in the studio with a producer like David Foster," Brandy said about recording in a 2005 interview. "My voice wasn't as developed as it is now and the song required what producers call ‘money notes' - the kind that get you a No. 1 on the charts! I was really nervous but it all worked just fine."^[1]
