The track features a sample from The Chi-Lites' 1970 song "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)" that serves as the song's horn hook. Lyrically, the song makes reference to the state of being romantically obsessed to such an extent that the protagonist does things that are out of her character.

"Leave (Get Out)" is a song by American singer JoJo from her self-titled debut album, JoJo. It was released as the album's lead single on February 24, 2004. Produced by Danish production duo Soulshock & Karlin, it became an international hit, reaching number twelve on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and on the European Hot 100 Singles. It also became a top five hit in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 25, 2004. JoJo has expressed her displeasure with the song, and most of her self-titled album, for its overall pop sound however she is grateful it put her on the musical map. When she would perform the song at her most recent concerts, she would arrange it to the point of being almost unrecognizable, adding jazzier instrumentation to the verses and heavier guitars or double bass drumming to the bridge.
