"React" became Sermon's second and last top-40 hit, reaching No. 36 on the
Billboard Hot 100. The song sampled the
Sahir Ludhianvi written song "Chandhi Ka Badan", which was performed by
Meena Kapoor, on the song's hook. The translation of the sampled line is "If someone wants to commit suicide, so what can you do?" to which Sermon responds "Whatever she said, then I'm that". The use of the sample drew criticism from the Hindi-speaking community.[1]
