Great song. One of the tracks that puts me in the exact place and moment in time where I heard it and what was going on in my life.

That feeling near the end of the 90s...knowing that we was heading into the new millenium and R&B was one of the pioneering elements of the Y2k movement. This group is A+.

yeah, this was 1999 defined, for my 8th grade year. Heard it in school, heard it on the radio on my way to school, and it totally brings up all the memories, baggy Hilfiger jeans, and polo sport t shirts, silver chains and Guess watches from Ross. Can pretty much picture getting dropped off in the back of the school when I hear this. This was like a background soundtrack to the first time I was "going out" with girls, whatever that even meant, then.

That Rodney Jerkins style of production, the bizarre heavy leather in the video, space/futuristic backgrounds is all very essential late 90's R&B. The era of female R&B groups, 702, Blaque, TLC, Destiny's Child. One rap verse at the end.

R&B in the late 90s to the early 00s might be the last good era of R&B!

The more focused production styles that relied less on sampling and more on keyboards, drum machines, and stuio innovations. Like those producers were unique as hell. I was into techno and electronic music back then in high school (my freshman year) when this came out so that shyt was hitting for me
The strong pairing of great vocalists over that type of electronic inspired production.
The futuristic video motifs and backgrounds. Like spaceships, liquid, ice backgrounds, a little bit of matrix cyberpunk too.

Really miss those days.
Me too man, me too. I had so much fun in 1999, saw so many concerts, partied hard in my high school years, they played shyt like this at our school dances.

I'm gonna start posting some of my favorite late 90s/early 2000s y2k era R&B bops. So much gold from that era.
