Absolutely one of her best songs. Failed by a low budget push from a label that didn't have a fucking clue. That is all.

It was corny, but sis looked amazing in the video. She didn't even love the song when it was released.

It was amazing and remember it playing on the radio all the time. A lot of non fans loved it. It was the perfect song to come back with after what she been through. The song was powerful and the video. I remember it did good  on 106 & park for a long time too. 

Brandy always don't like a song or a album that don't do well. She need to stop that shit cause she praise it to sell it but admit later she hate it when it don't do what she wanted.

It really was.  I still love this record. I can't get on-board with the label blaming for it's performance. Epic did a great job, re-introducing her back to radio. And radio was ready to play her too. They wanted R&b Brandy not fake celine Dion.

You're so right about that! I remember Brandy praising the album before it came out, then as soon as she realized that the sales were low, she said she hated the album....and blamed Rodney. 'Departed' was such a great song, and it was released at the perfect time, in 08/09 there was a recession and many people were struggling with life, even Rodney said that he received many letters and emails from people thanking him for the song and saying how it helped them. Brandy only wants to embrace her music that hits, and distance herself from the her music that doesn't do well on the charts

I think the video sucked. And I don't think Brandy makes songs she don't like. She didn't like that it failed.

I really liked this as a single tbh. It was a nice return song.

and her most recent Top 40 hit btw. put some respect on Departed's name.

Brandy don't think she changed  her tune about this record because of it's performance. Brandy wanted Locked in Love as the first single. The label had other ideas similar to what happened with black pepper. I can understand her frustrations when a song you didn't even asked to release fails.

Agreed! The timing was a bit off. It should've been released a few months earlier to do some damage. Releasing in the 4th quarter, is for the heavy hitter's imo.

To me it's a song everyone I know who likes pop music loves. Locked in Love is a good song. Too bad it didn't make the album.
