It was originally thought that the song was written to his daughter's mother Antonya "Toya" Johnson but it has also been said that it was written to
R&B artist Nivea. He states in his lyrics "You give me back my girl and you give me back my life/Give me back my girl and you give me back my life". He makes references to his daughter and mother which arouse speculation that the song was indeed written to his high school sweetheart, ex-wife and the mother of his daughter. Wayne also says "My momma asked about you, my partners did too I know your daughter will be so amazin' like you" which could be referring to Nivea who only a few years had a daughter by the singer/song-writer,The-Dream or could be referring to his own daughter who he had with "Toya" Johnson. One other main reason why the song is believed to be written to the R&B singer Nivea is that he says "We from New Orleans she was from Georgia" Nivea is from Georgia, not Antonya "Toya" Johnson who is fromNew Orleans , lives in Georgia but is not originally from the state. Recently Lil Wayne was on a show titled,The Blueprint onBET , whereBig Tigger asks Wayne about his relationship with Nivea, In which Wayne states, "I love Nivea".Remixes
