This is a semi-autobiographical account of Fiasco's rise to fame and the insecurities that linger behind modern celebrity culture. It is described on Fiasco's website as a "comment on his own rise to fame, an issue that clearly causes discomfort."
This became the highest charting single by the Chicago rapper under his own name in both the US and UK. He'd previously peaked at #79 in the US and #27 in the UK in 2006 with "Kick, Push" and #25 in the UK with "Daydreamin" the same year. Fiasco's only other appearance in the singles charts prior to this song had been as the guest star on Kanye West's "Touch The Sky," a #42 hit in the US and #6 in the UK, again in 2006.
This features American singer-songwriter Matthew Santos singing the chorus. Santos also appeared on the track "American Terrorist" from Fiasco's first album and guested on 3 other tracks on Lupe Fiasco's The Cool.
