This was the title track and first single from Monica's shelved album, "All Eyez on Me." It was produced by Rodney Jerkins and samples Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)." It peaked #69 on the Hot 100, #19 at rhythmic, #33 at CHR/Pop and #32 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. I actually liked this a lot, but I like the singles from the re-worked "All Eyez on Me" album (a.k.a. "After the Storm") much more. This was also much better than "Too Hood."

I remember laughing when I first heard this. Not her finest moment whatsoever.
The original version of the album was released in Japan, the reworked version was better.

I liked this when it first came out, but it didn't hold up. "So Gone" was a much better lead-off.

Watching the video makes the song more hype. She was kicking it. How many weave changes and cameos?

I enjoy this song a lot, but she should've lead with "I'm Back" and that infectious "Hypnotize" sample.

Rodney Jerkins couldn't leave those millennium R&B/pop sounds alone. lol. I love the use of the "P.Y.T." sample and MJ's adlibs at the end.

I loved this song. I have the cd single too. Same. minus having the cd single part. I always wondered why she abandoned it so abruptly in the US. |

I love this! The sample works in pretty well with this. It's making me feel nostalgic.

I LOVED this and taped it off of MtV but was on the hunt for awhile for it to be on a cd.
(I may have taped it off the radio) lol
It did finally come out though.
I thought the Michael Jackson sample was clever in the bridge.
Her attitude the production apparently is what I needed from Monica because it still get play from me today.
