Foi lançada em 31 de março de 2003 como single, mas já fazia parte do álbum Phrenology (2002).
Questlove encontrou a faixa original de Cody Chesnutt em *The Headphone Masterpiece* e achou que era a base perfeita para uma colaboração, levando ao remix.
O arranjo traz um riff de guitarra marcante e batida rock, algo incomum para a banda, que até então era mais centrada no hip‑hop clássico.
Crítica de Robert Christgau destacou a faixa como “o rock mais fresco de 2002”, enquanto o Pitchfork a posicionou na 330ª posição na lista “The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s”.
A canção alcançou o top‑10 em países como Dinamarca e Finlândia e foi citada pelo Rolling Stone como uma das melhores músicas de rock da década.
Artistas como Person L e Kurt Elling fizeram cover da música, evidenciando sua influência além do gênero original.
