Vocals
This song is one of the tracks that features Raven-Symoné on lead. Symoné has two verses, one of them is a rap verse. Main adlibs by Adrienne Bailon, who had two solo verses, and additional adlibs by Symoné. Both Sabrina Bryan and Kiely Williams sings the title on the chorus, as well as having two solo verses each, with Bryan joining Symoné on the rap verse.[3] Since Symoné did not participate on the girls' touring activities, Bryan did the rap verse with Symoné's solo. Williams then sings the main parts of the song with Bailon. Main adlibs and Symoné's are sung by Bailon and Bryan.[4]
Backup Vocals are performed by Lauren Evans.
