When I pulled it up, for some reason I just heard “ignition” on it, so I start really just messing with the words and a lot of metaphors start coming to me.
On Genius, Kelly explained the song: “First of all it was an old, old track that I had in my computer for a long time. “Ignition” was one of the songs he decided to remix after people in the studio liked the end part of the song, which would later become the intro to the remix. The original “Ignition” was planned to be one of the songs on his forthcoming album at that time called Loveland the album got leaked later on, and Kelly decided to turn Loveland to Chocolate Factory, record mostly new songs and remix some of the songs on that album. The original song “ Ignition” was first recorded in 2002 after the alleged statutory rape tape was a hot topic in the media. The song was listed at #19 on Pitchfork Media’s top 500 songs of the 2000s. It was later included on the updated version of Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest songs of all time in 2010 at number 494. Outside the United States, the song topped the charts in Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. “ Ignition (Remix)” peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks behind 50 Cent’s “ In Da Club“.
