Kim did not want the song released as she felt the Spanish sound had already been done so many times due to the <a href="/wiki/Latin_pop" title="Latin pop">Latin pop</a> explosion of the late 90s. Instead Kim wanted "The Queen", one of the songs that leaked prior to the album's release, as her first single. The record label didn't agree with Kim and insisted on releasing "No Matter What They Say". With time running out and not wanting her first week album sales to suffer, Kim agreed with her label to release the song. "The Queen" never made it on the album's final track listing. "Bad Girls" was another track that was leaked but Kim re-used the first verse for the lead single.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The song is a <a href="/wiki/Latin_pop" title="Latin pop">Latin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hip_hop_music" class="mw-redirect" title="Hip hop music">hip hop</a> track with a latin rhythm based around the main sample of "Esto es el Guaguanco" by <a href="/wiki/Cheo_Feliciano" title="Cheo Feliciano">Cheo Feliciano</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It has influences of <a href="/wiki/Tropical_music" title="Tropical music">tropical</a> and <a href="/wiki/East_Coast_hip_hop" class="mw-redirect" title="East Coast hip hop">East Coast hip hop</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the bridge, there's a breakdown chopping up the latin sample into a hip hop beat sampling multiple <a href="/wiki/Old-school_hip_hop" class="mw-redirect" title="Old-school hip hop">old-school hip hop</a> songs such as "I Got It Made" by <a href="/wiki/Special_Ed" class="mw-redirect" title="Special Ed">Special Ed</a>, "I Know You Got Soul" by <a href="/wiki/Eric_B._%26_Rakim" title="Eric B. & Rakim">Eric B. & Rakim</a>, and "<a href="/wiki/Rapper%27s_Delight" title="Rapper's Delight">Rapper's Delight</a>" by <a href="/wiki/The_Sugarhill_Gang" title="The Sugarhill Gang">The Sugarhill Gang</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The song interpolates the line "This is how it should be done" from Roxanne's On A Roll by <a href="/wiki/Roxanne_Shante" title="Roxanne Shante">Roxanne Shante</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Music_video">Music video</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=No_Matter_What_They_Say&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Music video"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The accompanying <a href="/wiki/Music_video" title="Music video">music video</a> for "No Matter What They Say" was filmed in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Marcus_Raboy" title="Marcus Raboy">Marcus Raboy</a> in early June 2000.<sup id="cite_ref-mtv_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mtv-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It features cameo appearances from <a href="/wiki/Sean_Combs" title="Sean Combs">Puff Daddy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mary_J._Blige" title="Mary J.
