Wikipedia article
"'Expression'" is the lead single released from American group Salt-N-Pepa's third album, 'Blacks' Magic'. The song was both written and produced by member Cheryl "Salt" James.
The song became the group's second single to reach the top 40 in the United States, peaking at number 28 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 while also topping the 'Billboard' Hot Rap Singles chart, becoming their first song to do so. The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on February 28, 1990, before reaching platinum status less than three months later, on May 25. In 1992 a re-release charted within the top 30 in Ireland and the United Kingdom and peaked at number 13 in France.
The accompanying music video is notable for marking the directorial debut of director Millicent Shelton.
