Probably my favourite single by her. That uptempo remix really brings it home  ! |

The video for this always used to make me laugh for some reason, but yeah she brings it on this song. Still can bump it and enjoy it.

I'm not a huge Whitney fan. I like her voice but she doesn't really interest me so I can't sit through her ballads and tend to prefer her uptempos. So this is one of my favourites by her. The lyrics are clever, I love the unique instrumentation and like has been mentioned there are some great remixes.

It's interesting how much the remixes elevated this. The album version is really unremarkable but Thunderpuss' remix is a club classic. The whole remix package is really incredible and her best collection of remixes for a single.
This always felt like the real Whitney to me. So sassy.

One of her best songs! The original album version is by far the best.
Sometimes when I hear Monica sing, it reminds me of this song... as if she was influenced directly by it when singing some of her later hits.

I love this song! Both the original and the Thunderpuss mix are great. The Yes "Changes" sample works really well in the original.

This is problie my least favorite Whitney song, maiinly due to the fact that it got grossly overplayed here when it was out.

This might very well be my favorite Whitney song. Of course, the Thunderpuss remix, since I found the original pretty bland. I remember jamming to this song every time its video aired on TV here in Brazil, in the late 90's.

Whitney had so much attitude, especially in the first verse. She showed it in the video.

As much as I love the remix, which still slays in the club, the original album version will always be tops for me. Some of my favorite production EVER on a song. Rodney Jerkins really turned it out, his instrumental is just so fresh and I love that he lets the beat ride out well after the song should be over.

Great song. Surprised it didn't do better on Pop. Should have been a top 10. Very memorable

I already commented on the Thunderpuss remix (which has its own thread). The original version may had been Whitney's last truly great song. Often heard the original version on WGCI, V103, and probably B96 as the latter was phasing out dance-based hits although the Thunderpuss remix would be heard on their lunch party/traffic jam mix hours. Not sure if the AC stations (Lite FM 93.9 and 100.3 in my market) played it as Whitney's late 90s material was more urban-friendly compared to her earlier material.

Those remixes are SO overrated. The original is where it's at >>>. The original may be my favorite song of all time.
"oH! oH! wOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she was PISSED!
love the hefty vocals in the chorus so much too. and that bubbling beat, esp in the beginning!
and I'm a fan of the "iconic" lyrics tbh ... she's literally analyzing receipts.

I thought the original was unremarkable back in 1998, but that Thunderpuss remix changed all of that. Still my favorite remix ever.
