I didn't know it was all of that, but I know it was a vintage feel for sure. |

The first part of this thread confuses me. (Was it in the wrong section, then moved here?)
Anyways, this is one of my favorites from Damita Jo. I love it.

I like this. There weren't any good single candidates on DJ though, so I'm not surprised it wasn't a hit.

This was a great choice of single, with a cute video to go along with it. Only reason this wasn't a hit is because of the Super Bowl fiasco that doomed this era. What a shame because 10 years later, in hindsight, the music on this album was sooooooo good. It really should have overshadowed the super bowl mess.

Love, love, love this. So sexy and smooth. A multiple week #1 on my personal chart.

Really underwhelming. Not even one of my favorites from the album. After this and "Just A Little While" were released as the first two singles, I knew the album was going to be underwhelming. Her first two singles from her albums were always much stronger (first two albums aside).

I like the track and its old-school sound, but it's not my DJ favorite. That certification is a riot. |

^Yes, it was- thanks to inclusion on a soda-cup lid. |

^Yes, it was- thanks to inclusion on a soda-cup lid. Everyone was using various promotions back then to get people to down load the music. Remember Hollaback Girl and WBT both used those type of promotions to get to #1 on the HOT 100. I'm not even sure free downloads count for RIAA purposes. You have to actually sell records either to customers or to distributors. In IWY's case it had the benefit of platinum for digital songs being lower back when it was released. |

It's easily my favorite single of 2000s from JJ :)

Demi- IWY's cert is strictly for the Lid Rock camp, not digital sales.
IWY didn't even crack the top 50 on Digital Tracks.

i never thought the superbowl was entirely to blame for the lack of success with DJ. i mean, i think the era would have been bigger without her stunt at the super bowl BUT I dont think it would have been a blockbuster anyways.
the songs just arent as strong IMO. although I like I WANT YOU it doesnt scream hit. the only song I think could have been a big hit was R&B Junkie

However, I think it was a little ahead of it's time. Same with Rock With U. Had it been released a little later and without a radio blacklisting, it would have and SHOULD have been a billboard hot 100 top 5 single. No ifs ands or buts. |

I like All Nite but as far as radio goes??? i dunno.. you couldnt understand nearly anything she said in the song. I agree about Rock With U! I personally think there were a lot of radio ready songs on 20YO |

One of her best tracks/songs. A simple underrated song. One of my favorites by her.
