Aguilera went on to say in an interview that the movie in which the song was made for was based on a brothel, and she dressed accordingly.
In , she entered a legal battle with Warlock Records in protest of them releasing a collection of her older demos, which were recorded when the star was 14 and Despite her objections, the court battle was unsuccessful and the demos were released as the album Just Be Free. This album was not received as well as Aguilera's previous albums, but record sales were decent. Following the release of this album, Aguilera put the final touches on next album.
