According to him, the song would not have been effective if it had featured only Eminem's point of view and feelings of regret; he wrote that Rihanna's representing the opposite side of the relationship shows "proper storytelling" and "sends a message" because of her breakup with Brown.
I følge ham, ville sangen ikke have været så effektiv, hvis den kun havde haft Eminems synspunkt og dårlige samvittighed; han sagde at Rihanna repræsentering af den modsatte side af forholdet viser en "ordentlig historiefortælling" og "sender en besked" på grund af måde hvorpå hun slog op med Brown.
