Speaking about the new song last month, Ashanti told PEOPLE, “It’s always fun. It was a ball. We actually had a good time recording in the studio together.”

“A lot of artists don’t get to record together, but we were actually in the studio together at the same time, which was cool, and I had on pajamas,” the Grammy winner added.
