This is one of my favorites from "Full Moon." It was produced by Rodney Jerkins. This always reminded me of her debut album, but more mature. Love the husky vocals and soulful chords.

Parts of this remind me of Janet's "I Get Lonely" mixed with Blackstreet (maybe the remix, then).

Glad to see a thread for this song ! This is my favorite track from the album behind "Full Moon". I was so obsessed with this song (as I was with "Put That On Everything" from the previous album).
I love everything about this song. The bassline is sick, and her singing is pretty strong. I love how she is singing in a lower key during the verses, and that bridge is so soulful. It's baby making music at its finest. It would sounded great at Urban AC imo.
Back in the days, I wanted this song to be a single, but retrospectively, I think that "When You Touch Me" or (to a lesser extent) "Nothing" would have been great single choices.
"What About Us" really was the only upbeat track that needed to be a single to me. I feel like the other upbeat tracks would have underperformed anyway (like Monica underperformed when they decided to release "So Gone" part 2 with "Knock Knock"). After such a polarizing single like "What About Us", it would have been great to release safe slow jams such as "When You Touch Me" (with a radio edit) or "Nothing" for the Urban audience, then release "Full Moon" which is a classic song but a bit left field.
