Pharrell had written and recorded a reference track of the song at the top of the year with a sale to Prince in mind, but the legendary singer turned it down. Imagining himself as The Purple One, P re-wrote parts of the song for himself to be his debut solo single and asked frequent collaborator and the newly-in-love Jay to lay down a verse in March ‘03. What transpired was an 8-bar vulnerable admission of his love for Beyoncé and how she had his heart; while of course keeping true Jay-Z form by managing to create a new verb for acting (“Denzelin”) and spectacularly manipulating the words “nonchalant” and “audience” until they were phonetically similar.
