The way this song still sounds futuristic to this day. Such a bold & adventurous move to release this as a lead single but it worked! Great album too.

Darkchild did the damn thing with this one.

A classic, a movement, the perfect single to launch this era.

two visionaries  

This song brings very fond memories for me.

I feel like this song gets an appreciation thread on ATRL about once per year. But it honestly deserves, so keep them coming!

What about WHAT ABOUT USSSSSSSSSSSS

such a bop - the fact it was her last top 10 hit is a crime

once per year is below average - it deserves way more flowers than that! 

I remember during ikwydls promo she said she had to curse and she was uncomfortable doing so in the movie so the bullshit caught me off guard and made me get into my head a bit. Like was she lying when she said that ? Lol. Definitely a bop

I love how Timbaland coded this beat is. Full Moon was such a great follow up to NSN.

I revisit this every couple of months and it still feels as fresh as it did when it was first released. The attached album is fantastic as well. Such an incredible song.

I think Darkchild did a Timbaland beat better than Timbaland himself.

I don't know where I was in 2002 whenever this released, but I didn't hear it until The Best of Brandy was bought for me after I had discovered her through Afrodisiac. It was well before its time, still sounding as fresh as ever.

one of my favorites off the full moon album yup.

"I Thought" deserved to be a hit too

Title track also a bop

I played the hell outta this song in 6th grade. I think this is also my favorite music video of hers too.
