"This time around I wanted to take people deeper into the Rahsaan Patterson - I wanted people to see me in a party area. I always was doing the kind of party songs that the urban artists were doing, but my music has always been somewhat sophisticated. So with that came a perception that I must be very Adult Contemporary. The truth is, I like to have a good time. I like to get out there. And I don't ever want to do what people expect of me," commented Patterson. "The result is, I think, an album that shows people a new aspect of me, one that they have previously only had glimpses of."
