The song interprets a man rhythmically whispering sexually explicit messages into a woman's ear, with her becoming interested and sexually turned-on. The song is well-known for the radio/edited versions featuring female moans and vocalizations—instead of “blips” or silence—over many of the sexual words. The chorus, one of the song’s most memorable parts, says “beat the p***y up” several times, with a sexually-suggestive woman gasping each time the word “p***y” is said.
The song was parodied by The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone on Saturday Night Live in a sketch titled "Bing Bong Brothers".[2]
Sarah and Naomi from the R&B group Electrik Red are seen in the music video.
The official remix version of the song features Lil Scrappy, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott and Free.
The video features Regina King, Kerry Washington, Michelle Van Der Water, and future Big Brother houseguest, Brittany Martinez, among others.
In 2022, American R&B singer Bryson Tiller sampled the song for his single "Outside". The Ying Yang Twins appeared in the music video to the song.
