It does seem she means to promote it. Anyway, highest charting hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart since "Love all over me". I'm also trying to figure out if this makes her the first person to have top 20 songs on that chart in the 90s, 00s, 10s, and now 20s...

I don't even know when you could have seen Monica top 10 on the main iTunes chart... "So Gone" maybe?? if not that...I don't think it actually ever happened, I don't think "Everything to me" even got there.

I wasn't sure about this at first, but... when they played this on the Verzuz it sounded goooooood! Whoever up here ^^^ said this sounds like something from 2005... were you around in 2005? I see that you clearly were you should know better. Lol, it does not--especially not Monica circa 2005. I do agree something about the vocal production is different, but I think it's done intentionally.
Anyway--I don't believe Monica's been anywhere near this high on the main iTunes chart (now #12), so that's awesome.

Love the performance, but it felt she was holding back. I agree-- she was super controlled and on point the whole time, but definitely I sensed she was planning something and then held back/decided not to do it, in the last few seconds there... now I'm curious if she'll do it different on GMA this week

There's something about this song... I did like it when it first came out, but I only listened to it for a couple of weeks and then forgot about it some. Then I came back to it at the end of spring, once the weather was getting nice, and for some reason it just sounded like a hit at that point. Once I heard it in that light, I thought it had a chance to do as well as this. Glad it worked out!

this bullet is really strong now...seems very very likely to go to #1 at UAC and also on Billboard Adult R&B. Pretty safe to say her biggest success since "Love all over me" 9 years ago

She's convinced herself her range is a lot wider than it really is

Urban radio has become trash over the years as well.

this song sounds so good in the summer... proud of Monica for doing better working independently than she was on J Records the last several years!

this isn't bad-- the video actually has decent YouTube numbers, more than I would have guessed. Are they pushing this to radio at all?

This is the least "out there" of the 4 songs released so far, so for that reason it might do well (I have a low opinion of radio....)-- I still like it a lot!

Radio's never been friendly to her. Too weird? Shocking to think a gender-norm-defying black woman would have a hard time with mainstream.....

real R&B is dead at radio. Even Alicia Keys can't get played anymore.
