We just got done doing the remix to focus and it sounds so dope the others wanted to play some basketball so it was only H.E.R. and I still in the studio trying to make it sound even more perfect. We were listening to the whole song as we came up with the second verse that K-Ci killed.

[Verse 2: K-Ci]
What is this a joke?
You know I get this money
So I guess you can't complain (mm)
You don't have to be alone
If you bring your ass home
You been running through my mind all day
I can't fuck it up
Baby, I just want you to let up (ohh)
Maybe I been a little selfish, I should do better (yeah)
Wish you would just focus on

[Chorus: H.E.R & Jodeci]
Me-Can you focus on me?
Baby, can you focus on me?
Baby-Me
Can you focus on me?

[Outro: H.E.R]
Baby, focus
Can't you see?
I just wanna love you, baby
Look me in my eyes

"This sounds so good," H.E.R. said.

"Forreal, when are you going to release it?" I asked.

"I don't know I really want to release it tomorrow," H.E.R. said as I laughed.

"Two minds think alike! I mean it's up to you, either way, the remix is going to get hella hits on the billboard charts." I stated.

"Well, I might just put it out tomorrow, just gotta tell my manager to arrange for me to go on the radio and release it from there," H.E.R. said as I nodded.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" I asked randomly.

"Why you ask that?" H.E.R. asked.

"You just seem like I know you from somewhere? But I could be wrong." I said.

"I mean the world is pretty small we probably do know each other," H.E.R. said.

"So you implying that we do know each other?" I questioned.

"I didn't say that," H.E.R. said shaking her head.

"Take them sunglasses off and reveal them to me," I stated.

"Don't have to reveal for you I like to be anonymous," H.E.R. said.

"One day it's gon be old," I said as she laughed.

"Yeah.. Whatever." H.E.R. said waving her hand up at me as I laughed.
