The debut single from her self titled debut album. I thought it was so bad it's good. The vocals weren't all that great. There were two videos as well, the first one was low budget. The second version is an improvement. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. I liked "Long Way 2 Go".

There's something about her music that's almost hypnotic. I know I should know better, but I love this, "Long Way 2 Go" and "Is It You". She's definitely a talent-free zone, though.

I have no idea why, but those I love those three songs, and can't imagine anyone else doing them for some reason.

This was dull, but I kinda liked the production. I'm glad she didn't become huge though.

This is so damn hot. It's the only song of hers that I like.

I liked it. I never loved it but it was a grower for me.

OMG! I remember this song back in 8th grade! I heard it on the radio all the time and I was like who is this chick? And then last year(I know...Im late...) I went on a cruise in September and saw the music video for the first time and I was like... "OMFG..SOO HOTT!" and she got stuck in my head for a long time.

Her vocals suck but Ryan Leslie is a great producer, and he's given her a bunch of great tracks.

It's just okay. It's kinda cute. I preferred the dance remixes by Eddie Baez. He actually made it good.

I'll toast to that. It always sounded so sick & twisted. The adolescent vocals paired with the suggestive lyrics painted a portrait of youth embarking on sexuality at the playground. Take it or leave it, the blowjob song.

I am aware I am completely biased and think she is the best thing ever but I refuse to call her talentless. She's not a strong vocalist but as odd as it sounds her aloof detachment manages to be almost inimitable.
And her debut album had a few solid tracks. Shame it was most likely her peak.

Never cared much for her album as a whole when it was released, but this song was a jam for sure. I thought she was going to explode so much harder than she did back then. I'd say Skydiver is still the best thing she has ever done thus far, so good.

Unimpressive and boring. I never got the appeal of this song.

Love the album, love this, love her, and I fully agree that "hypnotic" is one of the more appropriate labels for it.

She barely had a singing voice, but the production was top notch here.

And her debut album had a few solid tracks. Yep. This, 'Ditto', 'About Time', and 'Long Way 2 Go' are all jams. I was obsessed with this song back in the summer of '06. I loved the video, too.

I love this song, I agree with the comment that it's really hypnotic. I love how she sings the verses, that's my favourite part of the song, really enticing.

This was the single that Janet Jackson needed to launch a full-scale comeback in the summer of '06. Cassie even did her ode to The Pleasure Principle video.
Ice cream truck melody and a sleek, sexy production.
Great track.

This song and video were just.. cool. There's nothing more to it. They were just damn cool, in the simplest way.

One of the great songs of the summer of 06. Such a great summer with lots of great jams like this. Cassie's "Me & You" is great and the video is memorable.

The performances of this back in the day were invariably atrocious:
Best part was they sent Ryan Leslie to every single one! LOL.
