Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Can't Hold Us Down (feat. Lil' Kim). By Songfacts®.

Aguilera has never confirmed it, but there's a good chance this song is about Eminem, who took a swipe at her in his song "The Real Slim Shady." It is also an attack on the double standard in society where men are praised for their sexual prowess while women with the same habits are looked down upon.

Aguilera wrote this with Matthew Morris and her producer Scott Storch. Lil' Kim, who is featured on this song and previously sang with Aguilera on "Lady Marmalade," was dating Storch at the time.

Although Lil' Kim is on the final album version, Eve was actually confirmed by Christina even to be the rapper on the track. It was never officially stated why Eve was replaced but Eve has said "people's minds and visions change."
