This song, which details the end of an affair, features Nas, who became good friends with Winehouse after she name-checked the New York rapper on Back to Black's "Me and Mr. Jones." The song was recorded in May 2008 and Nas's lyrics were added later. The track was included on Winehouse's first posthumous release Hidden Treasures.
Frequent Winehouse cohort Salaam Remi produced the song. He explained during a listening session for the album that Nas, "was one of Amy's favourite artists." "They had an affinity," he added. "Besides which, they were both born on 14 September."
Nas added his two verses to the recording after Winehouse's death and he makes reference to the tragic event when he spits: "I be out in London, Camden/ Huntin' for the answers/ Why did God take away the homie?/ I can't stand it/ I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity."
