Caroline Bologna of The Huffington Post writes that the song is about masturbation.
The single, produced by Tweet's longtime collaborator Timbaland, peaked at number seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, becoming her most successful single to date. Elliott and Jay-Z reference this song during the track "Wake Up", from the former's 2003 album This Is Not a Test!, when Jay-Z raps, "I wanna feel myself like Tweet".
