Production
The song was written by Sisqó, Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson and also produced by Tim & Bob as well. Songwriters Desmond Child and Robi Draco Rosa receive songwriting credit because of the interpolation of part of their composition, "Livin' la Vida Loca" (Ricky Martin), in the song's lyrics. The strings heard throughout the song are lifted from Wes Montgomery's cover of "Eleanor Rigby".
The alternate version, the official remix to the original version, "Thong Song Uncensored" (which has no explicit adult language), features a guest rap from Foxy Brown in the spot where Sisqó whispers the main verse for the third time, and is included on the soundtrack for Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. A second, more urban-themed, video was shot for the remix by Little X.
