Producer Ron Fair suggested the group hook up with Justin Timberlake and the resulting collaboration set the group on the path to commercial success. Timberlake was not credited as an artist on the record in an attempt to avoid overexposure while he was promoting his own album Justified. The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year.
