John Shanks wrote this with Kara DioGuardi. They came up with the song after Simpson told them, "I have all these sides to me, and my boyfriend doesn't understand." Shanks has written and produced hits for many young female singers, including Hilary Duff, Michelle Branch, Kelly Clarkson and Lindsay Lohan.
In October 2004, Simpson was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live when she was caught lip-synching to this. She performed this as her first song, but later in the show she was supposed to sing "Autobiography." This song started playing instead, and while Simpson looked dumbfounded, her vocals came on, clearly indicating she was lip-synching. She walked off stage while the band kept pretending to play, and NBC went to commercial. At the end of the show, she said her band started playing the wrong song, and later claimed she lip-synched because she was suffering from acid reflux. The incident was captured by a news crew who was doing a story on Saturday Night Live for 60 Minutes. When asked about Simpson, SNL producer Lorne Michaels claimed he expected her to sing, and musical guests were only allowed to augment their vocals if dancing was involved. Michaels was clearly not happy about the incident, and they made fun of Simpson the next week on the show.
