In early pressings of Poison, the song was simply titled "Dope!", but the title was changed due to the increasing drug epidemic among children at the time.[2] [3] The song peaked at #9 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1991.[4] The EPOD Mix version of the song is the version used in the music video & released as a single.
