Details
The song centers around a man who goes to a strip club and wants to take a certain girl over to his place to spend the night. A censored version was made, called "I'm N Luv (Wit a Dancer)", to eliminate the sexual references. Some radio stations play the censored version, some the original, but with profanities removed, but most radio stations prefer to not play the song at all. The original version of the music video appeared on MTV but was quickly removed due to strong sexual content. A new music video was made without sexual content.
T-Pain produced the song using Apple's GarageBand music software in about two hours. It utilizes a steel string acoustic guitar, hip hop drum machine, and a chiptune synthesizer known as "Future Flute", all from the software.
