I almost feel like  Brandy had the upper hand when they recorded this and she challenged Rodney, just like he used to fuck with her in the studio and pushed her ...and yet he also ...used it as an opportunity to throw to shade to Timbalan as well too. This song is so clever, shady and subliminal..love it Ggggghhhhhbddfgghhyertgg

Not towards Aaliyah but moreso towards Timbaland ....I know Rodney, big belly ass had a real huge ego and if he got an inkling that Brandy was envious and desirable of the "Timbaland" sound he would try to one up him. That's what I get from this song .....just shadiness and irony ...between Rodney and Tim or maybe even perhaps Brandy and Aaliyah, who knows? They were in a conflict once. It's just my opinion. They all call me crazy on here but I'm smarter than MOST these faggots 100%!!!! They are all jealous of me.

Brandy did say this song was like homage to Aaliyah and Tim
The production is very reminiscent of their sound
Vocally though, it's all Bran

I hear it, the chorus sounds like something Static Major would come up with. A bit of that More than a woman, Loose Rap sound in the chorus.

QuoteIn a 2022 retrospective of the Full Moon recording process, Norwood shared to Billboard, "[ Aaliyah and Timbaland ] were our biggest inspirations. Rodney will tell you that Timbaland is one of his favorite producers. I will tell you the same thing. Aaliyah, her tone, and she stacked vocals, too. She was so amazing. Her music still today is timeless. There's a song on Full Moon, it's called "Anybody," and it's like an Aaliyah song [...] We just loved how they did what they were guided to do. And I was like, "We gotta do that"."

Wow this is such a different take than the shady, subliminal one from the original post  :thatssowendy:

Plus, Aaliyah passed in 01, this came out in 02, it wouldve been extremely tacky and pressed for either of them to be shady toward the Tim/Li thing at that time

Def a nod to Brandy and Tim. Brandy said it herself.
