I couldn't find a thread for this track so...  IF WE is a track from the Glitter album (2001) written by Mariah and others and produced by her and Damizza. Personally, I think it's one of the best tracks on Glitter, it would've been a great single back then (maybe even as the lead), the mood fits the 2001 music scene SO well!! |

It's one of my least favorites from Glitter. It's so of its time and I've never been a fan of Ja Rule. It could've been a single, especially since it doesn't sound like the rest of the album and almost seems like it was made to be one, but then Tommy Mottola and J.Lo happened...

This is toward the bottom of the album for me. Two of my biggest gripes with that album were the overreliance on featured acts and the subpar production/sound quality. Nate Dogg's verse was literally phoned in. I think it had potential but was dragged down.

It's cute for what it is, but it's very much of it's time. And I'm just not nostalgic for that sound at all, so I never listen to it.

I like it. It's fairly decent, but in my opinion, I think the ballads generally far outshine most of the uptempos on the album.

I like it. I agree with the criticisms that there isn't enough Mariah and that the sound mixing is off, but it's still a bop. I like the upbeat feel, and it's catchy af. "Dated" doesn't bother me, and I think it would have made a great single in 2001. It's one of my least favorites from Glitter. It's so of its time and I've never been a fan of Ja Rule. It could've been a single, especially since it doesn't sound like the rest of the album and almost seems like it was made to be one, but then Tommy Mottola and J.Lo happened... Not sure why the "I'm Real" remix prevented this from being a single. For one, "Loverboy" dropped well ahead of the remix. The "I'm Real" remix hit around the time the Glitter soundtrack drooped, so they could have snuck "If We" out as a single before "I'm Real" impacted. |
