Production
According to The Love Movement's liner notes, the track features production "initiated by JD of The Ummah."[3] The track contained samples from "Technova" by Towa Tei from the album Future Listening!.

Music video
The video starts to Alicante, Spain in outer space, with a wide view of Earth that is later revealed to be a decoration in Ali Shaheed Muhammad's car. Ali spots three girls, and Q-Tip decides to flirt with all three. A scene of Alicante appears and shows the group walking on the beach while Phife Dawg is rapping. Next, the scene changes to a party, showing Q-Tip experiencing a romantic moment. From there, the video shifts to an art museum where Q-Tip is talking to his girl. The video then returns to Phife Dawg on the beach, telling a girl that he will do what she wants. The video ends with the group in a club, dancing with women and having fun. During the final chorus, the video pans once again to outer space, then shows the group sleeping in Ali's car.
There is an iconic sing-along style bouncing ball each time the chorus plays.
