MC Lyte takes it back to the subway in her latest video, "Thank You" featuring Mary Mary. The visual for "Thank You" finds Lyte watching the intro of the "Paper Thin" video where her intuition leads her to take the subway, then flashes back to 1984 where she rhymes on the train with a boom box. The song is a testimony to Lyte's belief in a higher power, and her thanks to God for deliverance.

Lyte recently explained that LL COOL J and Nas influenced her decision to release music again. "I sat with LL for a fireside chat for leading women to find, and he said to me, 'I got new music coming out'", the "Paper Thin" MC told AllHipHop. "I was like, 'Oh, that’s great. So how was that process?' He said, 'But what about you? Stop being scared, put out some music.'"

Lyte explained that Nas and his support of classic Hip-Hop further inspired her. "And then of course, Nas, he gives a call out to all people of the late ’80s, early ’90s. I slipped in at the end of the ’80s, but a lot of my success came from the ’90s And so he’s just like, 'Where y’all at? Drop some music.'
