Omarion is a king of the subtle ad-lib. Around the 2:30 mark in the audio, during the bridge, you hear him murmur, "Yeah... you know."

Furthermore, the instrumental version of the audio (released as a B-side) has been sampled by lo-fi hip-hop producers on YouTube, generating millions of additional streams under the radar. The chord progression—a simple but haunting ii-V-I in C# minor—is infinitely loopable.
