In the song, Blige explains how after all she's overcome, she is going to stay true to herself and not change to please others. Several songwriters contributed to this hit track, including Jordan Suecof (Avicii's "The Nights") and Thabiso Nkhereanye (Britney Spears' "Me Against The Music"), as well as three members of the writing team The Clutch: Ezekiel Lewis, Candice Nelson, and Keri Hilson. The Clutch also crafted the hits "Radar" for Britney Spears and "One Less Lonely Girl" for Justin Bieber.
This samples "Garden Of Peace," a 1979 song by Lonnie Liston Smith.
In July 2010 Jay Ballard and Kim Jones filed suit against Blige and production team The Clutch, claiming this song is based on their 1995 tune also titled "Take Me As I Am."
