This was a #1 billboard hot 100 hit for Monica this was a huge hit so it was everywhere . It’s in the era of the boy is mine 98 she has the cover on her arm because she’s a 17 year teen had a tattoo .
Fun Facts: 1. She got a tattoo without the record label's knowledge or approval and they asked her to cover it up. That's why she has on the armband. 2. Monica's brother is in the video (at 1:29 in the red shirt behind her). 3. The song is a cover. It was released a year or two earlier by a group called Eternal. Monica rerecorded it and turned it into a #1 Billboard hit. 4. The R&B singer Tyrese is the male lead in the video. 5. Mike would loooooooove Monica's catalog. Do more of her songs and get some more Monica into your lives.
I love all Monica music my favorites are Before you walk out my life, Should of known better,so gone,A dozen roses,why I love you, Angel of mine, Everything to me, Love all over me are personally my favorites 😅
Fun Facts: Monica and Ludacris are family but not blood family. Monica's mom married Ludacris" uncle. Like Brandy, Monica was mentored by Whitney Houston This song is a cover. The original was from a British r&b girl group. called Eternal. Many Americans dont know its a cover bec the other song wasnt really played in the states. Some only recently found out. Also some in the UK some didnt know Monica's version
The white armband around her arm was to hide her tattoo. Tattoos around that time wasn't as common and/or seen as appropriate for an artist like Monica who had a young girl fanbase and she was a teen herself.The label made her put it on.
so fun fact: the leading man is Tyrese. The guy next to Monica with the cornrows, is her brother. This version of the song is actually a remake, the original i think was recorded by the SugarBabes..... or a group in the UK. Diane Warren of course wrote it. For a while, Tyrese was the male lead or sole male in music videos before and after his first album. Have y'all done an SWV week? he's in the music video for their song Rain which samples Portrait of Tracy by Jaco Pastorious which was also used in a Chingy song that Tyrese sings the hook on. WILD right?
Im surprised you didn't recognize Tyrese in the video. He's acted in a few movies including fast and furious. His big break was a memorable. Coke commercial back in the day. He's also a singer with a beautiful voice. You should check out some Tyrese music. Sweet Lady was one of his hits
Fun Fact: A UK girl group Eternal recorded this a year prior to Monica's version being released. It mainly charted in Europe and New Zealand, additionally that version is more successful there than Monica's.
She wore that wrap around her arm during this time of her career because she has a tattoo on her there and she didn’t that to influence young girls to do get tattoos too. ❤
Joe and Mike, We need to do Gucci Mane week! 5. I Get The Bag (ft. Migos) 4. Both (ft. Drake) (just reacting to the song not the music video) 3. Lemonade 2. First Day Out Tha Feds 1. Wake Up In The Sky (ft. Bruno Mars and Kodak Black)
The guy in the video was singer and The Fast & the Furious actor Tyrese
ive been doing a Monica vote for weeks, everyone who enjoyed this video vote for it next time they do a request video!

amazing era and great album but I am still so puzzled how First Night was her most successful song. It was almost no lasting impact.
Fun Facts:
1. She got a tattoo without the record label's knowledge or approval and they asked her to cover it up. That's why she has on the armband.
2. Monica's brother is in the video (at 1:29 in the red shirt behind her).

Tyrese is the go to R&B video antagonist
Fun fact: The male love interest is Tyrese
"SEARCHING" by Monica is also a beautiful song
I will ALWAYS love this song.
Still one of my favorite Monica songs

I love all Monica music my favorites are Before you walk out my life, Should of known better,so gone,A dozen roses,why I love you, Angel of mine, Everything to me, Love all over me are personally my favorites 😅

Why I Love You So Much

This makes me reminisce on her past music and that weird MTV romantic movie she did on interracial love. She's the epitome of love songs lol
Ohhh that movie.. It was so good. And the lead actor was sooo sexyy
Classic 90's, Love me some Monica ❤👏
The guy I'm the video is a vocalist and actor... Tyrese
Yesss I been waiting for yall to do more Monica! 🥰
This song was HUGE when it came out in the late 90's. And yall gotta do "So Gone." MIssy produced, so you know it's good.
Fun Facts: Monica and Ludacris are family but not blood family. Monica's mom married Ludacris" uncle.

Brit here - I had no idea about this cover so this checks out :D Loved the Eternal version (and personally I think they sing it better :P)
@@daveclayt85 I like both 😂
This song is my favorite and I listen to it all the time. Also, the remake of Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting For You" with her and 112 is amazing.
I was one of those girls laying I'm my bed thinking of my future angel of mine. Aka a crush 😂
My favorite Monica song!
I love this song
Monica! Do "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)" or "Before You Walk Out of My Life."
"For You I Will"
First night.
AND
Monica - First Night
Love from South Africa❤
This song always used to make me cry when it came out when I was like 9. I dont know why 😂
It touches the soul
There is another version with the band ETERNAL and they have amazing hits
oh my childhood 🥺
I agree with Mike. The verses are my favorite part of this song.

The tattoo was of her ex bf. He died.
@@DeeDiamond2981 no the tattoo said "Monica"
Monica week!!!
Monica was like 16-17 when she recorded this song!!!
She was 12 yrs... recording it. It was released 16.
@ how? This song is cover a song that came out in 1996. Monica recorded THIS song in 97. She would not have been 12
Monica needs a week and Ludacris needs a week
so fun fact: the leading man is Tyrese. The guy next to Monica with the cornrows, is her brother.
