50 Cent recorded this track during a legendary four-day studio session with Dr. Dre that also produced hits like "In Da Club" and "P.I.M.P.".

The song was released as a single on September 16, 2003. Interestingly, it was nearly the album's lead single; Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine favored "If I Can't," while Eminem pushed for "In Da Club." The decision was eventually settled by 50 Cent himself, who chose "In Da Club".
