In 1990 Usher joined an R&B local quintet called the NuBeginnings, which was organized by local music svengali, Darryl Wheeler and then he decided to pursue a career in music. Aside from recording, Usher has ventured into business. He has established his own record label, US Records, and is a part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise. He has also dabbled in acting, with a recurring role on the teen sitcom Moesha, and roles in the films The Faculty (1998, with Josh Harnett) She's All That (1999, with Freddie Prinze, Jr.) and Texas Rangers (2001, with Ashton Kutcher).

The chorus sets the scene of a desire to see someone in Ibiza, a popular party destination known for its vibrant nightlife. The lyrics suggest a rendezvous filled with excitement, relaxation, and a disregard for obligations. Usher and Zaytoven invite the listener to let loose and enjoy the moment, leaving behind any worries or commitments. The lines "You can bring your girls, you can leave 'em / You forget your man, that's amnesia" convey a sense of freedom and detachment from responsibilities. The overall theme of the song revolves around indulgence, escapism, and the pursuit of pleasure.
