Rapper Plies told MTV in 2005 that there was a version of the remix of Usher's “Love in This Club” on tap that would feature himself and Mariah. A remix was eventually released featuring Beyoncé and Lil Wayne. “At the time, it was conveyed to me that it was supposed to be Usher, Mariah Carey and me,” Plies told MTV about how he laid two verses for a remix to the hit single. “Obviously, that was a no-brainer as far as putting down what I had to do… I sent two verses to them. Then I get a call from a friend of mine at a radio station that they was getting ready to go with the record, but the version they had didn't have me on it.”
