Lyrical Content
In the song, Akon issues various apologies, including one for an incident in 2006 when a 14-year-old girl attended one of Akon's 21+ concerts. The girl went up on the stage while Akon performed, and Akon proceeded to engage in some brief sexual actions with her (specifically grinding and spanking). He apologizes for this incident, which he addresses in the song's last verse. He also makes apologies for Gwen Stefani...
