The film was shot in eight days.
In this film, Ajiona Alexus played the younger version of Taraji P. Henson's character, Melinda. On the television show, Empire (2015), Alexus also played the young version of Henson's character, Cookie.
This is the third film collaboration between actress Taraji P. Henson and director Tyler Perry. Their previous collaborations are The Family That Preys (2008) and I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2009).
Taraji P. Henson, who portrays older Melinda, had to wear contact lenses to match Ajiona Alexus's light gray eyes. Henson's eyes are actually dark brown.
