== Background == Janet Jackson and Teddy Riley previously collaborated on the remix of Jackson's single "I Get Lonely" with Blackstreet in 1998. Later that year, MTV News reported Riley had worked with the Spice Girls on a new song, titled "Girlfriend, Boyfriend," for the soundtrack to the forthcoming film South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. It is unknown if the Spice Girls actually recorded the song. The song was instead done with Janet Jackson, Ja Rule, and Eve for Blackstreet's own forthcoming album, Finally.
