"'Into You'" is the third single from American rapper Fabolous's second studio album, 'Street Dreams' (2003), featuring either Ashanti or Tamia. The song also appears on Tamia's album 'More'. "Into You" originally featured Ashanti, but after Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. Records refused to let her film a music video to promote the single, Fabolous reached out to Tamia to re-record a commercial version. Both the album and single versions received heavy radio-play, resulting in all three artists being credited on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100.
Based on Tamia's 1998 single "So Into You", which samples the Commodores' song "Say Yeah", "Into You" reached number four on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, becoming the second single from the album to reach the top 10, after "Can't Let You Go". The song stayed on the Hot 100 throughout 2003, finishing at number 23 on the chart's year-end edition. The single also reached number four in Australia and entered the top 40 in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
Music video
The music video for the single is 4 minutes and 20 seconds long and was originally supposed to have Ashanti in it, but because Irv Gotti refused to allow Ashanti to shoot the video, Fabolous and his record label were forced to go with Tamia for the video instead. The video was shot primarily on a beach, for a summer vibe to keep the single hot and make it a summer hit, even though the song itself was released in March. K. D. Aubert also makes a cameo in the video as his love interest.
