Melanie B recalled, "This was the first time I'd even considered doing anything by myself. I was on tour with the Spice Girls when Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott called me up and said 'Melanie, I've got a song for you, will you come and record it with me?' I checked it with the girls and within a month I was out there, I recorded it in a day, did the video, then came back. She's a genius!"
You quote her as if she is some respected orator, instead of a coarse bully who pissed most of her money up the wall through appalling lack of self control.
If you've heard the rest of this album ther e s only the tracks that missy produced that had a real mojo happening otherwise some of the other tracks sounded whiney and to be honest I can't believe made it passed the final cuts. But remember she's a brit not American so she can't do it like an American not saying they got no swag she just rolls different to the American. But this track was one I did appreciate.
@@nakiebear9768 If you are saying that sales trumps everything, then I take it you'll admit Geri is better with her four number ones than Mel Bitch with only one.
This is so 90s. From the windowpane background, to the neon green and the hip hop vibes. I wish more of this existed. I could go look for it but I'm too lazy.
Personality and charisma will take you far. I’ve always like this track lol, Mel might not be a great singer but she’s got that thing, Missy is a genius
One of the most amazing black Voices musically for the UK+one of the first black rnb artists to collaborate with a us female rapper. Mel+missy BOTH know what it is to be powerful women! 💚🤍💜 #GirlPower
Well there wasn't much of a solo career to talk of - two albums, the most successful of which only scraped in the top 30. Even that is more than the odious liar deserves.
I wasn't a fan of the Spice Girls but fhcking loved this song. I remember taping it on cassette from the radio (what do you kids know about that? 🤓) and listening to it endlessly. This was my jam back in the day.
Tyrone Smith so true, spend so many months trying to find this one, as a kid of the 90s I used sing whole day this line - I think I want you back.. deep impact.. :p
You know I don't really know much of Mel B's music. But this was a great collaboration and this beat is absolutely deadly! At the end of the day this was just a young woman trying to do her thing so I can definitely respect that.
The negative comments are actually hilarious!!! Spice Girls are the biggest selling female band worldwide period and they had the most endorsements. Mel b can sing and she's a judge because she's made a huge impact in music and she knows what will sale. Every singer sounds different some have strong voices and some not so strong. It all balls down to branding and packaging, Christina Aguilera has an amazing voice but hasn't accomplished what spice girls have. Instead of writing negative comments and wasting your precious time, why not find a away to have Mel b money and not the money you have now, negative comments are actually hilarious, you haven't achieved anything like the celebrity in question but are quick to comment on a successful business women's life.
I thought this song had an edginess about it (in a good way!) when it came out years ago, and I liked its vibe…but for the last few days or so (it’s currently early May 2017!) I think I’ve played this more than any other person’s song, I seem to be really ‘feeling’ this one at the moment!
It was a number 1 single so i'd say it was a hit. Missy wrote and produced the whole track and asked Mel to sing it. The song originally opened with a rap by Mel but it had swearing in it and she wasn't comfortable performing it and didn't feel it was appropriate so she asked Missy to rewrite it.
Floris Klaver actually it would, it was only a #1 hit because Mel B was huge in 1998 due to the Spice Girls. Missy was pretty much irrelevant in the European music scene at the time
@@deedee2172 That doesn't change my comment. I know that you wouldn't have heard it before, but I'm just saying you didn't enjoy it and we did, so who loses. Let people enjoy things.
Mel b was the r n b ,Emma had the acoustic pop , Geri was bubble pop , Victoria was dance pop /garage with Tru steppers , and mel c was more main stream
Forever was very much Mel B driven and I would think maybe Victoria too.. Victoria did a great lead vocal on " out of your mind " by True steppers.. very garage ... It suited her vocals.. and style.. like this did for Mel B

@@peterpinsent6274 cool story bro. 😆
To be fair she might have thought this was the right song for Mel because you don't need to hit any actual notes
This il oneof the best musicvideoclip of alltimes
It was actually offered to All Saints first
Mel B should continue with this style, totally fits her, Scary theme video, awesome music, should work with Missy Elliot for an entire new album
Yep and for an extra 2 albums too.
Yep.!!! 👍👍👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👂
"I want you back" was #1 in the UK charts! The first solo Spice Girl #1!
Not EMMA was first?
Geri
And I had pre ordered the single couldn't get enough of this song! Mel b AND Missy two of my favourite women
@@shawndeon1970
Mel B was 1998
Geri 1999
Emma 2001.
@@KurtisLeeLewis and Mel C was 2000
I wish Mel B would have stuck with this type of sound around that time. Such a great track I still have the cassette
22 years a go
Exactly should've continued working with Missy and went on to work with Timbaland.
This song is a banger!!! The bass goes hard
It's a real shame Mel B didn't continue with this style..
Excuse me? :/
17sunnyhour Agreed, some of her other stuff is "RnB-lite", pretty forgettable, and could have written for anyone.

because she still wanted her "spice girl" market buy her album..
I love how you can hear her Yorkshire accent when she says ‘well let me hit this one before I go’

Mel B is underrated...love her voice and personality..this is an awesome tune
HATE her personality. Damned awful fishwife.
you can tell a video is amazing when it still looks modern 20 years later.
I don' think it looks modern... it's so 2000s.....
at that time it looks modern because it was one of the firsts to use fisheye lens
Geri Halliwell Look At Me
It dosent 😂
@@pvzontti1273 No it ain't lmfao. Y'all be saying OMG IT SO MODERN, IT LIKE NOTHING I EVER SEEN don't know shit.
2020 here. Still awesome
I'm from 2 years in the future reaching back to say 'I think I want you back...'
This vibe and this VIDEO would work today.
That woman was TOO beautiful! She has everything.
This is so 90s.
From the windowpane background, to the neon green and the hip hop vibes.

The duo we never knew we needed... ❤
this song is timeless
Still here 22 years later
this tune is sick

If Mel stuck with this style of music for a few albums she would have done very well for her solo career.
+1
She’s gorgeous

LOOOOOL
Tyrone Smith so true, spend so many months trying to find this one, as a kid of the 90s I used sing whole day this line - I think I want you back.. deep impact.. :p
Jamie City same, so true 👊🏼
Jamie City aahaha those were the days.. the good ol days.😁
The infamous Hype Williams' Fisheye Lens trademark
Mel b should have just let missy do the whole album
Yeah Timbo and Missy should've produced at least 2 to 3 albums for Mel B. Mel B was easily suited for RnB music.
such a good riddim. and mel b's voice is lush. ive missed this tune
Love the MB's flow! My favorite solo spice song! Love this 20 years later! 🖤👽🖤

Go find help girl, in my country the number is 113.
So many grammatical errors in this I'm not even going there 🙈🙈🙈
Find a way of pissing the vast majority of her fortune up the wall, you mean, while the others all have tens of millions, Nicole.
This song scared me as a kid. Definitely SCURRRY SPICE!!
Missy was even scarier to me!! One can see that she really enjoyed showing her creepy ass contact lenses!! 😂 😂
They don't make videos like that anymore... Amazing!

I love Mel but without Missy's vibe this wouldn't have been a hit.
I like that part where Missy Spits a verse. Oh wait, there wasn't one, most pointless feature ever.
She produced the whole thing so not pointless at all
this is not a hit
It was a number 1 single so i'd say it was a hit. Missy wrote and produced the whole track and asked Mel to sing it. The song originally opened with a rap by Mel but it had swearing in it and she wasn't comfortable performing it and didn't feel it was appropriate so she asked Missy to rewrite it.

I can’t be the only one listening to this in 2024
No, you're not :)
Here too :)
Were here
You are not alone😁
I'm here, purely to insult the vile liar that is Mel B.
Brilliant soundtrack best Melanie B track and one of Missy Elliots best track second to ‘WorkIt’ ❤️
What a tune! Some of their songs outside of their group were decent hits (Bryan Adams + Mel C comes to mind)
Sick Beat.
I want a new solo album from Mel B, no matter what!! She is too damn good!!
the never be the same track of Mel C and this song is damn bring me back on College days w/out the corona virus
Still love this❤

Mel B needs to do more music like this with Missy
This was my favourite song back those mtv days back in 1998
this shit was so slept on
Lindsay Hayes in fact it hit #1 in UK 🙂
I think it did pretty good everywhere except the US

I love you mel b! sooo talented!
Best mel b song
"you've got me drinking liquor in the morning, sitting all night at the barrrrrrrr"
This song still pops
The best solo spice single by far
Look At Me is better
I think Mel C had quite a few way better than this.
Mel C
Geri
Mel B
Victoria
and than Emma
you need ears sounds shit mel b couldnt even sing
+curt w No, but she was hot. And this song is, too.
That right leg shimmy is her signature move 🤣🤣
Good eye I thought I was the only one who noticed that
That's due to her losing control of her bladder and bowels simultaneously.
Omg loving this. M&M : Mel B and Missy Elliot :)
She's great! Open you ears!
Pfft....
Im the M to the MBE you know me! 2022 still listening. Well done on the award Mel xxx
You’ve got me drinking liquor in the morning sitting all night at the BAAAAARRR
Mel B doesn't have a wide vocal range but she gives a good performance here
one of the best ever
2024 and still listening to this hit 🔥
I'm not sure how many times I played this song up until now!
Mel b was the r n b ,Emma had the acoustic pop , Geri was bubble pop , Victoria was dance pop /garage with Tru steppers , and mel c was more main stream
Wow 20 years a go😨😨
And Geri had as many number ones solo in their homeland as the other four did combined.
@@peterpinsent6274 I can't remember a single solo Geri song!! But I remember this banger from Mel B!
Here in 2022 still a banger
Fun Fact: The guy in the video is her eldest daughter Pheonixs dad 😊
Technically Jimmy Gulzar lol. He was a dancer on the Spiceworld tour and was also engaged to Mel B at the time.
Also by the time this came out she was known as Melanie G. G for Gulzar. Then that went to hell and we’re back with B for brown.
Its jimmy Gulzar
Wasnt there a rumour he was gay
they were married
Love this song love the spice girls so much
20 years....where did they go! I think I want you back
a so powerful song!
me encanta esta cancion
🙌🏽🙌🏽 still listening to this banger in 2023
Oh my god, I love this song so much when it came out. Still slaps all these years later
now, this was sweet
"Sweet" and " Mel B" can NEVER connect.
I love it!!!!! Please a second part!
I love this song she made!
I really liked this since i was like 19...still one of my Favs...i dont care what others think...good early 2000s song
I come out in 1998
Haha I’m 19 and love the Spice girls
Love this song, still in 2020...
Favorite Melanie B. video of all time. Spice Girls solo success are really good when they split up.
This is a tune. I used to listen to this all the time
Mel B is one among many reason to believe that indeed Black is beautiful, Damn that Lady is cute.
Such a blessing love and light ✨️
Forever was very much Mel B driven and I would think maybe Victoria too.. Victoria did a great lead vocal on " out of your mind " by True steppers.. very garage ... It suited her vocals.. and style.. like this did for Mel B
so 90's
reached #1 in the UK and #25 in the US Billboard (the only spice solo song to chart on the US billboard), take a seat plz and get educated...
No it wasn’t what about mel c and left eye?
Purely due to Missy Elliot's status in the U.S.A. Highest placed solo Spice album in USA - Geri. No famous guests needed.
Still luv it too.....
Epic!!
20 years later I still think this video amazing so cool and freaky
Girl Power Mel B Spice girls ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Best solo single ever!
What have you heard? This and ' No Way, No Way' by Vanilla?

Is 2019 and this shit is still my fave Spice Girls solo single. Fucking love this duo Missy/Mel.
