black woman me want equality / Equality and the freedom to be me". "Fly Girl" focuses on men's attempts to court her; Latifah answers their pick-up line: “You must be mad! / Easy lover, something that I ain’t / Besides, I don’t know you from a can of paint”. The downtempo song includes male vocal harmonies as part of the chorus and elements of new jack swing. The album's title track revolves around Latifah bragging about her skills as a rapper, while "Sexy Fancy" contains influences from dancehall music and ragga. The song "If You Don't Know" contains a sample of James Brown's 1974 single "The Payback". In the album's closing track "How Do I Love Thee", Latifah instructs her lover how to sexually pleasure her; lyrics include: “It pleases me to have you touch me there / I think you know it gets to me / Stop! Don’t stop! Ecstasy!”; a writer for Rolling Stone said the song is reminiscent of Madonna's 1990 single "Justify My Love". Latifah wrote "How Do I Love Thee" during the filming of the 1990 movie House Party 2, and said: "I was away from home and I was . . . you know, kind of horny". Release and promotion "Fly Girl" was released as the album's lead single; it was promoted through a music video, in which Latifah wears an African headdress while accompanied by a group of back-up dancers.

Latifah held an album release party at an Indian restaurant in New York City.

Not to mention the money." As of April 11,
