This was a track on 2001's Glitter soundtrack. It's easily the highlight of that album and actually one of my favorite Mariah songs. Rick James sent her this song. Mariah loved that it sounded just like a Mary Jane Girls song and recorded it. It's extremely rare that someone sends Mariah a demo and she loves it enough to record it as is. It's been rumored among Rick James fans that this song was actually an old song originally written for the Mary Jane Girls that was never actually recorded.
Here's a clip of this song's inclusion in the film.

The production is upbeat and organic, very fitting for the 80s theme of the album. Should have been a single, maybe even the lead single. |

This is an amazing song. Tied with "Lead The Way" as my favorite on the album. Love the Mary Jane Girls flavor it has. Great vocal performance too. |

I love the 80's feel of this and 'Didn't Mean to Turn You On'. I wish she would have explored that sound more on the Glitter album.

This along with "Lead the way" (just a vocal masterclass if ever there was one) were album highlights. To me, this was her best work along with the "Butterfly" album. With both projects she took risks and experimented with different sounds. It's so unfortunate that more people didn't give this album a chance because of their perceptions of the movie and her state of mind at the time. It's a shame, but those of us who did realize what a gem this album is.

One of Mariah's best songs, it's a shame it was never released as a single. It captured the 80's perfectly and didn't sound dated at all (unlike "Loverboy" which was stale the second it was released). Still sounds fresh.

Agreed, this is one of her best. Should have been released as a single.

I love how 80s this song feel. I agree with those who think it should be the lead single. At least it doesn't sound like her other ones.
