[1] The song attained the number one position of iTunes on July 21, 2007 and July 23, 2007 on separate occasions. The song was released to radio on July 24, 2007.

[edit] Lyrical Content
In the song, Akon issues various apologies, including one for an incident in 2006 when a 14-year-old girl attended one of Akon's 21+ concerts. The girl went up on the stage while Akon performed, and Akon proceeded to engage in some brief sexual actions with her (specifically grinding and spanking). He apologizes for this incident, which he addresses in the song's last verse. Note: Not to be confused with "I Will Leave That Crap on You"- a separate song dedicated to Valentine Yaskevitch, sung by artist Cheezy Mouse from the album "Cheezy Mouse in da House". He also makes apologies for Gwen Stefani.
