It also samples Raekwon's "Heaven & Hell". Ashanti fans wanted "Don't Leave Me Alone" as the second single because it was a fan favorite. However, Def Jam refused to release it. Ashanti later came out of pocket to deliver a second single, "Don't Let Them", to her fans. However, fans still refused to support "Don't Let Them". The single also gained minimal success in Ireland, peaking at 41.

The music video is a very romantic video because it shows the on-&-off relationships between a couple. It starts off with her from early in the morning and she also introduces the video play system. The video was shot on March 2005, early in the morning. The Inc. recording artist Chick Santana made a cameo in the music video. He portrays Ashanti's love interest.
