This absolute classic turns 15 today! Lyrically, the song talks about moving on from a painful breakup.

 

Released as the 4th single of Fergie's The Dutchess era, it became the 3rd #1 of the era. After lingering in the top 5 for over 3 months, it finally climbed to #1 in September 2007 dethroning Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls".

 

It sold over 4M+ downloads in the USA becoming the biggest downloaded track of 2007, and topped radio for 7 weeks.

 

It reached #1 in 10+ countries including Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ireland, Moscow, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the USA and reached top 10 in 25+ countries. 

 

It was responsible for the re-peak of The Dutchess in the USA, when it initially debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 with 150k sales in September 2006, it re-peaked at #2 in September 2007 after the success of Big Girls Don't Cry. 

 

Fergie initially scrapped the track from the album, but after hearing Jordan McCoy's version, she last minute tagged it onto "The Dutchess" before its release. 

 

Hot 100 Stats:
Top 5 - 18 weeks

Top 20 - 32 weeks
