K'naan said to spinner.com that he first met him at Bonnaroo. " He was such a nice man, a cool dude. Stephen Marley introduced us. So I though I wanted to have another version of this song on this album, to kind of constantly affect the genre-hopping. I thought, 'What could be better than having him on a great guitar solo?'"
