I feel like it gets overshadowed by "No Scrubs" but the fact that they scored another #1 right after the massive "No Scrubs" is so impressive 

 

The song is really moving when you listen to it, and so calming and the sign language in the MV was such a nice touch - an emotionally therapeutic masterpiece 

 

My outsides look cool, my insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through, it's because of you

Why do I look to all these things, to keep you happy?

Maybe get rid of you and then I'll get back to me 

 

 

They look so gorgeous in the music video shoot too

Girl i know you not trying to shade TLC with Stacie Orrico in your profile picture 

Whe I hear the term ahead of its time, this comes to mind. The song stomps as well.

Yes a masterpiece! (I prefer it to no scrubs actually )
 

The glee mashup is also incredible and deserves a shout out - I love Dianna Agron’s voice on it, and it’s even more calming than the OG imo because the production is toned down a lot more.

It's Nelly Furtado - get your eyes checked, because you obviously didn't understand the post

One of the best mashup's they could ever do, it's fantastic!

Did you read Sterogum article too?

YES! I thought this was so touching as a kid & I still do. Very Born This Way of them (not the song/album, the philosophy)

writer said it was their best song.lyrically it has a nice message but i find the song kind of boring compared to alot of their other songs. Baby Baby Baby and Red Light Special are my favorites.

Lmao, I was surprised he gave it a 10, No Scrubs got a 9. Tom's rankings are really interesting at times

 

I'd give it a 6 or something, great message but I prefer their more R&B material.

They did their thing with the song. I wish it was more remembered.

My jam  Can’t believe this classic doesn’t get brought up that much. A #1 smash yes

One of the best songs of all time

Yes.. not as much as no scubs though 

This song was and still is everything.

This! the video and the message. So relevant especially today

Yes. I used this song as my project in a self-esteem class I took in high school. The lyrics are inspiring.
