It was suggested at the time that the track would not be released until December 2011, due to Shock Value III not being released until the new year. However, on September 12, 2011, Timbaland announced that the track would appear on the American iTunes store from midnight on September 13. Subsequently, downloads of the single resulted in it peaking at #23 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.
