Melanie B feat/ Missy Elliot, "I Want You Back"

[George Tropicana]

Anyone remember this UK #1 single, Mel B's debut solo single? It was featured in the WB flop Fall movie "Why Do Fools Fall In Love."

Does anyone know if "I Want You Back" was ever a single in America? It earned a terrible review from Entertainment Weekly and Ellen K played it on her late night songs from movie soundtracks. I remember En Vogue had a commercial single for the movie "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" because Sam Goody had it for a big discount.

"I think I want you back Your love has made a deep impact I know it might sound wack, But damn, I think I want you, want you back!" :) Great lyrics! Mel B looked scary in the video too!

I loved the intro too!
"I'm the M to the E - L - B you know me
I'm the M-I-S-S-Y to the E
And I got many flows from overseas
Well how can you BEEP BEEP with no keys?"

:) :) :) The SG were playing Wembley the week Mel B was #1! I know this because I own the Spice Girls "Wembley" concert video! :) :) :)

i remember it, and remember not liking it all that much, the only good part of this was Missy

[Zander]

I liked this song, and 'Why Do Fools Fall In Love' was actually a pretty good movie.

I do remember a funny review from Entertainment Weekly though, they were like 'Well as Mel B says herself, "I know it might sound wack"...'

I actually bought the "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" soundtrack because of this song. It was a good song...i think it was released in the US...but im not sure..it mustve been if I knew of it...

I absolutely love this song. I ended up importing her debut cd when it came out. I am a pretty big fan of her music too bad she never really caught on. I remember seeing the video on MTV so it must've been released here.

[M]

It's okay.

[Keith3000]

I hated this...it sucked.

[Sean]

I loved it - great song. I still thing it's great and never got sick of it. Missy and Mel sound great together.

[Live Your Life]

The vocals were very flat, but I liked Missy's production here.

[B-Boy]

I still like it. The video is awesome.

[Ginger Spice]

This is my favorite Mel B solo song, I think.

[Sounds from the Other Side]

I loved this song and its video.

I was SO into this. Lol
If I remember correctly I saw her perform it on an award show like The EMA’s??
Of course I bought the full cd, but it didn’t get much love from me.
Years later I found a few other tracks I love on it??
I was always quick to stick a song on a mix and ignore other tracks unless they were promoted or got attention I guess. I’m realizing now I missed out on many good songs.
“Hotter, Tell Me and ABC 123” were also cute from this release.
