BET.com wrote of the song: "One of Mary's strongest assets is her relatability – she always makes the listener feel like each song could be about their own life. And for anyone who's struggled to keep a long-term relationship going, this earnest single [...] will seem all too real. Don't miss the hilariously random Weezy reference."[1]
A music video for "Stay Down" was directed by Hype Williams and premiered on April 17, 2008. It features several close shots of Blige as well as many landscape scenes.
Credits adapted from the Growing Pains liner notes.[2]
