Background/music video[edit]
The video, directed by Kelly, also features Kelly who wrote, produced and composed this song. The single and the video were released before R. Kelly's single 'When a Woman's Fed Up', which is the continuation of the story.[original research?] Five weeks after the song was released it had already been played on the radio more than 40 million times in the US.[1] Due to a Billboard rule the song could not chart on the regular 'Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart' in America. The music video is directed by R. Kelly.[2] The video shows an African American family that's struggling.
