June's Diary version

Critical reception The song was met with positive responses from critics. Vibe magazine praised their version of the song stating "The Chasing Destiny stars take a trip back to the ’90s in their latest video for their spin on Jodeci’s “Stay.” Duly dressed for the ode to the iconic R&B group, Kelly Rowland’s protégées remind us why they earned their mentor’s stamp of approval as they nail the classic tune from Forever My Lady." Rap-Up gave their approval stating the group "put their soulful spin on another R&B group, Jodeci, and their classic Stay".
Music video A music video was released to June's Diary's YouTube channel on March 16, 2017. A behind the scene's video of the music video was released a day later.
