This is alright but it's still so much better than the horrendous "When We Make Love." I don't know what he was thinking even releasing that, let alone as the lead single.

I can't stop raving about this song. In true Valley Girl saying like my cousin, it's mad "hotness" Nol seriously, this song is tight. I heard it on my local Urban station last night, and I was singing the song even though I didn't know the words. Let's hope that this helps his CD to rebound and regain some commercial footing.

Why in the hell didn't it go for Rhythmic adds? It's doing well on Urban. Especially having no momentum what so ever, after the release of "When We Make Love".
With that being said.... "She's Like" should be the 3rd single.. If Sony (aka A R&B singers hell) gives him a 3rd single.

Ginuwine didn't choose "When We Make Love" as his first single. Sony did. In fact G didn't aprove of It. I have a couple of audio interviews where G says this. If you want to hear one of the interviews there is a link at the bottom. www.680news.com/gallery/audio.jsp

"When We Make Love" peaked at #51 R&B and only has 120 million audience to date. That's so horrible for a lead single, it's amazing radio even added this song. Both of Faith Evans follow-up singles did better than that, one of them doesn't even have a video. That being said, "I'm In Love" is a lot more catchy, the hook is simple and addictive. I still say the production on the album is not top-notch, but this may be enough to get him back into the top 20. It just really fits Ginuwine well.

If promoted right... this will be a top 10 R&B hit.

I'm really feeling this. His album is actually pretty good. I usually skip over the faster tracks in the begging except for "Secrets." I also skip "When We Make Love." Horrible first single. Hopefully this song does it for him.

The amount of plays increased from the week before. Kind of like momentum. The song is losing it's momemtum due to the lack of request and/or the amount of radio stations playing it.

It wasn't sent out to Rhythmic so as a result, it won't impact Rhythmic unless he recieves a insane amount of request. So this song will do just as good as When We Make Love at best....

This song is great. Should have been the lead single, then it would have had half a chance at being successful.

Don't tell me that this song is losing the very little steam that it did have. That's not cool at all. I only heard it twice on my local Urban station. That was late at night or Sunday afternooon, and it was probably due to Ginuwine coming to town for his tour, and the radio station was promoting his and Jagged Edge's latest work.

Thanks for showing us the cover, but I'm wondering how much does the single coming out really mean if the song is not doing well on radio.

Well here some good news for the single, It Jumped 8 spots from #77 to #69 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this week. And it Debuted at #50 on the Radio & Records Urban National Airplay chart this week. Maybe it's a hit in the waiting. I expect the video to come out next week. ( >:(The video should have already been out a week or 2 ago, they shot it on Janurary 27.)

There seems to be no promotion for him right now.
I'm one of the few people here who actually liked his 1st single.

Goes for Urban AC adds on Monday (March 13th). Sony is stupid, It also needs to go for Rhythmic adds.

It looks as if this has peaked on Urban Radio @ #50. The bullet has stopped.

Ginuwine should just sign to Def Jam or J Records -- i'm not sure when his contract is up, but I would just pay out the contract to get the hell outta Sony.

I'm not really feeling Ginuwine's music & image this time around.
Sad, since he seemed to have landed a gold/platinum effort with every previous release.
Main important thing he's missing this time is a bonafide hit single to sell the album.

Here is a little choreography/behind the scenes video clip preview from the set of the music video. (Click on the link below.) www.now2k.com/chopper/vid7.htmI'm still waiting for the video to come out. (It should have already been out by now.) Does anyone know when the video is coming out?
