The grit. The sound. The look. That scene when the couple gets off the bus and Brandy is the narrator. 
I fucking love it.

Didn't care much for the song at the time but it's one of her best and one of the best on Afro. Always loved the vid

And Brandy on that bus. I love those shots. Those scenes. The way the camera pans. Her look. Her outfit. It gives me a novel vibe. "The Coldest Winter Ever" or something. 
I never felt that way about the video before.

I remember the days leading up to it coming out someone on the board back then lived in the area it was filmed and was giving us behind the scenes tea early.

I remember thinking she looked incredible and I loved the bus scenes etc - but I also felt like it didn't fully deliver either. It should have had Timbaland in the video...there should have still been some sort of dancing/performance scene

Def one of the most unique songs she's ever done

Sounded so fresh when I first heard it 
the video let me down a bit but the song still goes

One of the best songs in her catalog. Period.

The video was late though.

why did they have her writhing around in some dirty bus and under some filthy scaffolding?

:disgusted:

I'm glad they were able to roll out a handful of House remixes for this officially... I wish they had officially released the Timbaland Remix EP. I have it still anyway but I wish it had been sold and videos etc.

The Timbaland R&B Remix with Usher (Radio Edit) & (Extended Edit)
The Timbaland Hip-Hop Remix with Fabolous (Radio Edit) & (Extended Edit)
the Timbaland Urband Remix with Usher and Fabolous (Original Mix)

This song has aged really well. Still sounds fresh. I remember when she played it on Verzuz, some ppl didnt know it but was saying it was fire. I didnt mind the video. None of the videos from the Afro era I was in love with tho.

Post by: Demetri Collier Electronics 🤴🏾 on March 30, 2022, 04:20:31 PM
I hated this song and video. Song wasn't catchy at all. I felt like at that time tim gave Brandy his worse beats, bitch i was pissed! I did think she was captured beautifully in the video. And enjoyed seeing her outside because she doesn't have many urban setting videos.

I like the song more today but still a bad single choice.

The song>>>>
I remember being so happy she chose this as the single and thinking it would smash. Then being super disappointed that nobody cared about it :dead:
and the video could've been way better. I think they got Jake Nava to direct because he did a Beyoncé video but it wasn't right for Brandy

I fucking HATED this song. Not because it was a bad song, but because I wanted I Tried as the next single so damn bad :disgusted:.I even had the video concept for I Tried down pat in my head. In retrospect, it's a great song. It had some AMAZING mixes.

Still love the song and should've been the first single tbh if they wanted a Timbaland song to lead... it def deserved a better video though w/ choreo and Timbaland in it

A lot of ppl prob won't agree but "Should I Go" should've been a closing single from Afro too... it really captures what makes Brandy "Brandy" & she should add this to her set list to close out her shows before an encore of a popular song of hers
