In 1998, my father gave me a new black Mercedes E class. In the evening, my friend came to me with Will's new CD. We rode around the city for three whole hours and then, just to hear enough, we left Baku and went to another city. The distance is approximately 400 km. All this time we listened only to this masterpiece on repeat.

Low key, Will’s best single in that era. It’s weird how Miami, Getting Jiggy, Men In Black were so massive and this one was mostly ignored. Shows that general public’s taste has always been WACK. Even in the 90’s where revisionist historians like to pretend how amazing everything was. This song got very little run on the radio, even though it was dope.

@edercortes1960

3y↑7

I always loved this song back in the 90s and always watch the replays on tv. Honestly Getting Jiggy and men in Black songs are great but those are songs that stick with most people because they are popular songs people can dance to or remember, this song is not like that it’s sentimental, soft, smooth and different which is why I’m assuming it wasn’t that popular but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that in 2021 people are starting to appreciate this beautiful masterpiece
