(1993), while production was helmed by Ferrell, with co-production from Kenny "K-Smoove" Kornegay and Darin "Piano Man" Whittington. It contains a sample of "Papa Don't Take No Mess" by James Brown.

Gary Gray and filmed at various locations in New York City in the summer of 1993. It depicts Blige performing in a jersey with a New York Yankees cap and baggy jeans, also wearing an all denim suit with matching boots performing on top of a car in front of a large crowd, as well her wearing an orange jacket.
