It was originally featured on the soundtrack to the 2000 Nickelodeon theatrical film Snow Day, and was released as a single from the soundtrack to Contemporary hit radio on February 15, 2000,[2] by Geffen Records and Interscope Records. It was later featured on her eponymous debut album.

Music video

Directed by Tryan George, the video focuses on Hoku emailing a video to her ex-boyfriend telling him that she's not interested in him anymore. She shoots the video with her friends and new boyfriend at a beach party. Actors Mark Webber, Schuyler Fisk and Emmanuelle Chriqui (from Snow Day) appear in the video. Intercut in the video are scenes of Hoku and some dancers dancing behind a winter mountain background and scenes from the film that focus on the romantic subplot.

Chart performance

The single peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Hoku's first and only song to reach the Top 40. It sold 600,000 copies domestically, making it the fourteenth best-selling single of 2000.[3]
