Originally released in 2010, this remix helped propel the song to international success.
Nicki Minaj’s verse added a bold, energetic counterpoint to Gyptian’s smooth delivery. Her playful yet assertive lyrics (“Hold yuh, no let go / Me tell yuh again, no let go”) gave the song crossover appeal, landing it on Billboard charts and club playlists worldwide.

While Gyptian has noted that the original was already a hit in reggae circles, the addition of Nicki Minaj provided an essential "amplifier". At the time, Minaj was a rising star on the mixtape circuit; her verse, delivered with a hint of her Trinidadian heritage, introduced the song to a massive hip-hop audience. This collaboration helped the song spend 29 weeks on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and eventually earn Gold certification in the U.S. and multi-Platinum status in the UK.
