This was 3rd and final single from Nelly's "Suit" album. This samples Spandau Ballet's "True".
Chart Positions: #6 UK #21 Mainstream Top 40/CHR #34 Rhythmic Top 40 #64 Billboard Hot 100
I remember my local CHR giving this some airplay. I actually really liked this and thought it was a good follow-up to "Over and Over".
Nelly performed this at the 2004 Billboard awards, and there was also a video for it (I think it was only released to International markets I don't remember seeing it on TV)

I don't remember this song. :) You don't want to. This samples takes the melody of Spandau Ballet's "True", throws out the original lyrics, and replaces them with new ones.Fixed. And , while we're at it. At least "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" tried for something more (that one's really good, actually). Then there's "You", where you barely even notice the sample, if at all.

I thought this was going to be the second single from Suit. It's alright.
As for the Spandau Ballet sample, it was better used in "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss." Lloyd actually sampled the instrumental on the "You (Remix)".

I liked this a lot, mainly due to the sample.
