The song was written and composed by Harrison, Mark Andrews and Darryl Pearson. The lyrics of the bouncy R&B track speak of a woman leaving her cheating ex-boyfriend.

The song received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who praised the singles' remix stellar production and Silkk's rap cameo. "Movin’ On" became a top 40 hit on Billboard's Hot 100; peaking and spending three non-consecutive weeks at number thirty-four. It fared better on the US Hot R&B Singles chart peaking at number four. Internationally, the single reached the Top 20 in New Zealand.

The song’s accompanying music video was filmed by director G. Thomas Ferguson and University Music CEO Haqq Islam. The video was shot in the non-fictional high school University High. In the video, Harrison displayed her cheerleading skills and towards the end of the video leaves her cheating ex-boyfriend.

It made its debuted at number twenty issue dated week of August 1, 1998. It entered the Top Ten issue dated week of August 29, 1998 ascending from 13-7. Due to the strength of the song and if Interscope had released Movin' On on cassette and CD configurations; the song could've been a strong contender for number one position. However, despite being available on 12' inch only, the song still managed to rise 7-5 on the Hot R&B Singles chart. The song move resulted in the chart highest-ranking 12'-inch only single since MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This hit number one on Vinyl in 1990.
