notes
One of the founding new jack swing productions, its punchy synth stabs and swung drum machine groove built by Teddy Riley on a Roland D-50 and an Alesis drum machine per his own account of the era; the exact D-50 patch for this song is not documented, so the settings are a plausible reconstruction of its bright, digital stab character.
