It was released on October 17, 1994 with production from the LG Experience and Warren G. The single was a minor success, making it to 78 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is dedicated to Shaq's stepfather, Phillip A. Harrison and samples "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" by Pete Rock & CL Smooth.
The music video portrays a simplified biography of O'Neal's early days living in Newark, New Jersey. It discusses his estrangement from his biological father Joseph Toney, with whom he has expressed no desire for reconciliation. O'Neal refers to his stepfather Phillip A. Harrison with the lyrics, "Phil is my father."
The song is referenced by Roger in the season Season 7 of American Dad! during the episode "Seasons Beatings"
