"Poppin'" was written by Johnta Austin along with Andre Harris and Vidal Davis from production duo Dre & Vidal. In the song, Brown sings about meeting a girl and claims that her looks "set him on fire." He is basically giving praise to the young lady's physical attributes and therefore describing her as "poppin'".[1]
Issued as the fifth single from the Chris Brown album, "Poppin'" debuted at number 82 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on December 5, 2006. The song eventually peaked at number 42 on February 6, 2007 and spent a total of 20 weeks on the chart, though it was not promoted physically as a CD single.
