When this song dropped, back in 2004 it was one of the biggest R&B hits of the year.
Heavily sampling The Fugees classic, Ready or Not, this song changes the key and ups the tempo all while having a pulsating 808 style bassline in the mix.
Winans' silky voice tells of his woman betraying him and has so much emotion behind it. I especially enjoy the call and response section between Winans and Enya during the bridge.
Label-mate and collaborator of Winans, P.Diddy, drops a rapped verse towards the end which sits nicely and adds some punch to the song.
The album this comes from, Hurt No More, is excellent throughout. A great listen if you like more soulful R&B.
