Back in 2004 when we were working on “Mike on the Fatman” and after Musiq Soulchild dropped the “Soulstar” album with the “forthenight” song I kept telling Chum I wanted to do a disco track. Now in the Cool-Aide era I finally pulled the right record off the wall and I got my disco track.
I had just gotten back from seeing that girl from Marked by Melody and I was in a real somber mood but I sat down with the track and worked out what was going on in my head. I started with “Who really knows what the future holds?” and ended up with an “Everything’s gonna be alright” song.
At this point we had started to realize what our “sound” was. And all our friends were saying how it could be a hit.
I envisioned a video for this with a prologue where me and my love interest have a fight and she throws me out the house and then as the song starts I wake up in a parking lot in my car. The song starts I drive back to Philly go to my uncle’s house cut my hair (I had dreads until 3 months ago if you’re new to me) and this is my moment of clarity and I show up at my party which is at a skating rink where everyone is waiting for me not sure if I was gonna show up cuz they knew what had happened but I show up all brand new and we’re all smiling and roller skating and Chum is DJing. At the end of the song she shows up in the doorway of the skating rink and we hug. The end.
Other than selecting the record and suggesting that he add something at the end I didn’t have much input on this track.
The instrument on the bridge is Chum making sounds with his mouth. He was very proud of that.
If this is any indication it woulda been a hit.
