"That was the first song we recorded for The Score."
"At one point, the group had disbanded. [Lauryn] had left at this point" and she recorded the hook as a reference with permission to be used, but didn't want to be part of the group anymore.
"Then she goes into the bridge and she's crying. She stops and says, 'I can't do this anymore,' and leaves."
A couple months later she re-joins the group and tries again, but they "end up keeping the reference. That's what the world has come to hear."
