This is followed by a number of messages left by jilted former lovers expressing a mixture of fondness, yearning, contempt and confusion towards Biggie. The song begins as a recording of an answering machine message in which one of B.I.G's daughters, having apparently been prompted by her mother, requests that women stop calling the household. (Other hip hop artists like Lauryn Hill, Eminem and DJ Khaled would later equal this feat, with the former's ' Doo Wop (That Thing)' entering in the top spot in 1998, the aforementioned with ' Not Afraid' in 2010 and the latter with ' I'm the One' in 2017).

It was the highest debuting single of all time, tying with Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson song ' Scream' when it entered the Hot 100 at number 5 at the time. The song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The remix, produced by Rashad Smith, samples DeBarge's 1983 song ' Stay with Me'.
