Big Boi has been featured on other rap artist's tracks without his Outkast partner, André 3000, in the past, most notably the Missy Elliott hit, "All N My Grill", and Trick Daddy's single "In Da Wind". They first came into the mainstream with the album Stankonia in 2000, followed by the song "Ms. Jackson", which topped the Billboard Hot 100, as well as it gaining success internationally, reaching top 3 in the UK and Australia. However, Outkast's 2003 double album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is Big Boi and André's first attempts at making an entire album solo.

Big Boi's choice was the smooth urban single "The Way You Move". It was originally supported by urban radio, but then crossed over to pop charts and became almost as big a pop hit as "Hey Ya".
