I will state that personal bias, colors this review. This was the song that defined the relationship I am in right now. I liked this song & video so much when seeing it re-air during Jennifer Lopez's "Rebirth" special on MTV-2 in early 2005, I bought all of her records.
From a musical standpoint, this is one of Jennifer's more, subdued cuts. Which is why I like it. She went for a Schooly D sample of "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" which gives it a gentle, yet urban undertone. There are harp flourishes throughout the song, as well as subdued strings.
Jennifer, as with many of the cuts from the "This Is Me...Then" record, gives a rather surprisingly spirited lyric & vocal delivery. This is what makes the track so engaging, she sounds engaged herself. A celebration of a person that has entered another's life & just brought joy. It isn't overly what one would call "brilliant" or "original", but it is delivered in a gorgeous mid-tempo number that functions as both ballad & dance cut.
Despite what became of her highly publicized relationship with Ben Affleck, it clearly gave her a sense of heart during this period. I recommend this song for anyone who is in a relationship & needs something to identify with. For music fans, if you want something nice to chill to, I recommend. One of Jennifer's more overlooked, but better singles.
If you liked another subtle single like "Alive" or "Baby, I Love You"...then you will like this. Also, great video...she did the "Flashdance" film justice.
This single has the original version on it (a rather boring song), but the remixes really make it excellent. I was surprised to discover that I love the Who da Funk mix better than the Murk mix, since the Murk boys are the remixers I'm more familiar with. But the Who Da Funk mix just takes the song to a whole new place. It's awesome.
I also ordered the other single of the same song with the other mixes, but unfortunately, amazon sent me another copy of this single, so I haven't heard the other mixes yet!!!
