History

On 15 October 2008, Jay Sean announced that he had signed with American hip-hop label Cash Money Records, on the back scene at MOBO Awards. Jay explained, "It's always been a dream for me to sign to an American label. And it's great to be accepted by the best in the game".

The single includes a remix featuring rapper Lil Wayne, as Cash Money Records is releasing a remix in order to introduce Jay Sean to the American market. However the remix was canceled, and Sean recorded a new single for the American market called "Down" featuring Lil' Wayne.

My Own Way: Deluxe Edition was released on 16 February 2009 in the UK was set for release in the US, however the idea has been shelved and Jay Sean is working on a new album for the American market. The lead single is "Tonight", which was released on 26 January 2009. The album also has two additional songs, "Never Been in Love" and "I'm Gone", and four additional remixes.

On 21 April 2009, Harj D released a remix for "Tonight", called "Tonight (XS-Bass Remix)". The remix is the first remix after XS-Bass' album Amplified, which was released in 2008.^[1]
