The song incorporates elements of R&B, neo soul and hip hop soul. Released by Ruffhouse and Columbia Records, the song features a sample of "Can It Be All So Simple" by Wu-Tang Clan.[1] The song also raised some controversy surrounding claims that it was about former groupmate Wyclef Jean of The Fugees.[2] Background"Ex-Factor" was written and produced by Lauryn Hill and it features replayed elements of "Can It Be All So Simple" by Wu-Tang Clan,[3] which itself samples Gladys Knight & the Pips' cover of "The Way We Were".[4] SamplesIn 2018, rappers Drake and Cardi B sampled it in their songs "Nice for What" and "Be Careful", respectively.[4] Chart performanceAlthough not as successful as her previous single "Doo Wop (That Thing)", the song still entered several international charts.
