This was the first single from his album, "The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2." It was produced by Timbaland, Justin and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon and written by those three, plus James Fauntleroy. It peaked at #13 at CHR/Pop, #8 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #29 on the Hot 100. I love the groove of this one, but I knew it wouldn't be a hit. Although there were a wave of retro, urban AC songs that were becoming hits, this didn't have a strong hook for people to latch on to. I still think it was a big mistake to cut the run of the "The 20/20 Experience" and its singles short by releasing this song.

This is still one of my favorites by him-- pure early 80s R&B jam. Terrible single choice though, especially as a lead. No pop appeal.

This sounded nice, but was really boring.

Boring as hell but it sounds much better live.

It was alright; never went crazy over it. "TKO" and "Not A Bad Thing" are both way better.

This is a straight up jam and should have smashed. It checks all the boxes for me, never understood the hate or mediocre reception it got.

This is one of my mom's faves, and I have no idea why.
Good song to listen to every once in a while, but it's rather forgettable imo.

I still wish 'Tunnel Vision' had been given a US release, but I did actually like this quite a bit.
