History
[ edit ]
In 2009 Dutch producers Maurice Huismans and Jorrit ter Braak started a lawsuit against Akon and his co-writer Giorgio Tuinfort because they claimed this song was stolen from them.
Their song "Remember" by the act Summer Love was a hit in Europe in 2001 and later covered by the Underdog Project and Spanish singer David Tavare as the song "Summerlove".
In 2010 the Dutch plagiarism committee approved this claim and all parties settled afterwards.
Official versions
[ edit ]
Several remixes of the track exist. The official remix of the track features additional vocals by Kat DeLuna . Further remixes include "Mañana (Na Na Na)", featuring vocals from Jayko, and an International Remix, featuring Canadian singer Danny Fernandes .
Music video
[ edit ]
The official music video for the track was directed by Anthony Mandler and released on November 6, 2008. It premiered in Germany on the TV show Viva Live . In the video, Akon plays an agent that is on a mission, he has to find a girl (the same from his video "Don't Matter ") that has secret information. He remembers the good times that he spent with his ex-girlfriend, played by Jamaican model Cindy Wright, but he sleeps with the girl from "Don't Matter", gets the information and ends the video alone. The actual track begins one minute after the video begins, making the video over 5 minutes in length.
