The iTunes version is an early version of the song where the vocals are different (for example Chrystina's vocals). Instead of "you know I'm fly (know I'm fly)" (during Nichole's part) it's "you know I'm fly-fly". There is also background vocals when Tiffanie's part comes up. During live performances, they do a dance break.

Since Tiffanie's departure, Chrystina performs her part of the bridge and melismatic vocals^[6].
