One of Toni Braxton's two #1 hits, and my favorite of her's. It had a nice bouncy bass and her vocals fit the sexual lyrics really well. Babyface penned this one. There was a boring remix featuring Foxy Brown, but David Morales turned this into one of his best remixes. This is one of her two #1's on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, the other being "He Wasn't Man Enough". She took home a Grammy for R&B Female Vocal in 1997 for this one.
The Billboard Hot 100: #1
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks: #1
Hot Dance Music/Club Play: #1
I'd post the CHR/Pop peak, but I don't want to ruin that nice collection of ones right there.

I loved this song so much. It seemed with every album her her first single got stronger until "More Than A Woman". This one went all the way to the top of my chart ad stayed there for 3 weeks.

Not my favorite song of hers (that would be I Don't Want To), but interestingly enough this topic comes along right as my local pop station has begun resurrecting several of Toni's songs, this one included.

One of the hottest singles of the 90s. It was a big international hit too. For once, her vocals in this brought the song to a whole new (sexual) level and really gave it that intangible quality.

This is one of my favorite Toni Braxton songs. It's so steamy and sexy. I just love how she is able to be so sexy in her delivery of the vocals. And the lyrics are hot without being disgusting.
The David Morales mix was just amazing. He can't do any wrong. He totally took this song to a whole new level.

Good song. I prefer the singles off her 1st album to this, but at this point I like it more than 'Unbreak My Heart', which is in that category of songs which I've heard enough of in one lifetime.

Awesome song, and part of what I think was one of the best R&B albums of the 90's.

This was a #1 smash from Toni! This song is still HOT to this day! Babyface and well kept secret Bryce Wilson worked on this song. ( Bryce Wilson also worked on Baby boy for Beyonce ;)) This song was hot, fresh, young, and it definately put Toni back on the map for her follow up album. I hope her 1st single off her upcoming release is as good as this!

This is a classic. My favorite song by Toni Braxton and one of the best R&B tracks of the mid '90s IMO.

One of the best songs of the 90s, certainly for R&B. And somehow it holds up really well, I think someone could release it today and it'd be a hit.

I like this song, which is surprising, considering I don't usually like this type of music.
I remember this song had the most bizarre chart run on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40. One week, it was near the bottom of the chart, then the next, it was suddenly up in the Top Three, then the week after, it was back in the 20s. Of course, that's the Hot AC version we're talking about and pretty much every song had a weird chart run on that. But that's one that really stands out.

Great song and video! Waiting to hear about Toni's upcoming new album on Blackground.
It may have been bumped to 2005...... ???
