She's had better (though that's not saying much because her discography is stellar), but I will say that this has the most climactic build-up EVER.

Yeah, the build-up and her vocal makes this song. Definitely one of her signature career moments, I always forget how effective it is until I listen to it.
Sampling the Y&R theme could have been super cheesy, but it works here (Kelly Price also did a good job with that sample on "Married Man").

I’ve always been a fan of the Diddy/Mario Winans remix. It is a danceable feel-good bop.

One of her better songs because she's able to put her heart and soul into it.

Much like "Family Affair", this was all over the radio back then. Heard it on WGCI, V103, and B96 in my market. Solid effort but I'm more used to "Family Affair" when it comes to Mary J Blige's 2001 singles.

She nailed it with the super bowl halftime show performance. A career highlight. It's really interesting to me that she picked this over more significant hits of hers e.g. "Real Love", "Be Happy", "Not Gon Cry", etc.

I never listen to it but it's a great song. I liked it a lot.
