But why is this version only on her Best Of? I have the CD single and the Urban Renewal album and they both have the other, known version.
That's a question for Atlantic. However, a lot of "alternate" versions and mixes of songs by Brandy were utilized for the Best of Brandy compilation, particularly in international markets. An example of this is the "The Boy Is Mine (Darkchild Remix)." I'm assuming this was done to give fans something new and different to look forward to and incent them to purchase the compilation album.
However, unlike "I Know Now" which as someone noted, was recorded during separate eras (NSN and Full Moon), both versions of ADIP were recorded at the same time - just different takes and different vocal stylings. Atlantic used the "R&B" vocal for many of the ADIP remixes, whereas the version featured on Urban Renewal includes the "Pop" vocal.
