Cheetah girls was like the high point of my diva mindset as a young girl. This entire album was sooooo fucking good. Still I grooving and im 27. Lmaooo
@ smh I watched this movie when it first premiered in 2003. I was like 13. Back then, I liked it cause it was entertaining. But it took me growing older to realize how iconic they really are. The Cheetah girls were the TLC of Disney Channel. Unfortunately, I didn’t really like or cared for the sequels that followed. Only this first movie.
Yes! I'm 31 and listening to this again after like 20 years. I only knew the short version from the Disney Channel movie. I don't think I had the soundtrack but I only just now noticed that, especially the lines "I'd rather rescue myself. " and vice versa.
This song is so motivational 🙌🏾 I love the bridge. " I can slay my own dragons. I can dream my own dreams. My knight in shining armor is me; so I'm gonna' set me free." That is so beautiful and inspiring. ❤️
Why we giving them cred for? They pull a Whitney Houston and people forget the origin like that. They covered a song that wasn't even ten years old yet? I guess I'm the only person that listens to every radio station my state. I see this change your radio dial every once in a while you may find that you like a little bit of country for your hip hop fan you never know what you do change to dial and look for something out of your comfort zone. I'm going to chop this one up to what I call the Dolly Parton effect.
@@paulhall4572 that other group died/disbanded just a year after that song came out and were forgotten, lost in time. cheetah girls covered it 3 years later and put it on the map and are still remembered for it. that's just how things go sometimes. this wonderful song might've also gotten lost to time if it weren't for cheetah girls' cover (and others like tata young, which I personally prefer).
Representation really matters I always used to look up to the black girls like raven Simone and China Anne McClain they inspired me especially since they are both very talented and I love the cheetah girls they have such good songs and the message still applies today
My family is from a Mediterranean island that gives me olive skin that tans dark in the summer so growing up I did not know the difference between black and white and I really miss those days of innocence when I looked up to ethnic girls on Disney that reminded me of myself and the saddest part is those days only became twisted and confusing around age 9 when kids in my class started making fun of me and saying I was black and that made me different. I'm literally white. So sad
Will never ever get tired of all The Cheetah Girls soundtracks. They are unmatched. Legit get better the more years pass. Idc how old I get i’ll always come back. 😭❤️
Fun facts: It's a book In the book aqua had a twin, so it was originally 5 members. But because they couldn't find twins they just made aqua an only child
I remember during 1st grade school lunch this girl showed us the CD and I was SO jealous. So i begged my mom for a Cheetah Girls CD and she got me the DVD. 💗 The nostalgia with this movie is real ughhhh
I’m now 26 and I looked back at my 7 year old and see her bobbing her head to this with such an intense expression on her face.. like she’s thinking “who needs a man” already.
@@jordanwennberg3796 i am glad as a mother you are doing this because everyone seems concerned with little girls but no one cares about little boys being labeled bad by crazy feminists in 2022. Opening a door for a female is called respect. Yes, I can open my own door, but I can also open the door for others. It's called being respectful.
I bought the cd at a half price books back in 2017 right before I left for college. Man I played this so much my Roomate wanted to change tooms 😂 ..she did
This song still gives chills I swear they need to reboot this franchise one more time for these up coming Disney new generation. A new cheetah girl but this time around the cheetah girls are the parents guiding there children to fame
i5 did it first but their label was absorbed and they disbanded before they could take off. Play did it next, and their version is my favorite as of yesterday when I learned all of this shit! Lmao
I vibed as a child not understanding the lyrics and I appreciated than, but these lyrics aged like fine wine, the lyrics hit stronger as an adult I literally had to stop the song so I won't cry on the train..😅looking like a fool
I first heard it from Tata Young singing this on her Album way back in 2004. Didn't know it was a cover of this original song. Both version is great too.
I was today years old when I just listened to the Play version of this song. I like both versions they are equally great and have good vocals. I think Play’s harmonies are a little better tho
…. I believe that play has the superior version 🥲 I agree I think it’s the harmonies that do it and the overall blen/mix is better for me in plus version but the cheetah girls have the best bridge for me
@@richiemacattack2362 I think Play sings the verses better and the Cheetah Girls sing the chorus better. I think the rhythm of the Play one in verses is a little off. Also, the Cheetah Girls on the 2nd voice feels like it was sped up or something. And I disagree. I think Play KILLED the bridge. The notes are just...the Cheetah Girls did good, and I stan them as the FIRST Disney Channel Musical that set the tone, but Play did the bridge amazingly.
Play and Cheetah Girls covers owned this song. The Cheetah's are more R&B and Play is pop. But although the Cheetahs are the first versions I heard Play's version went harder 💯

Lol 😂 I’m with you
Me too!!! I’m turning 26 next month and I still jive to these!
I'm 28 90s baby
Same here sis
Me too! 😂😂😂😂 I am 23 and these songs have helped me so much!
Ok I never heard this longer version, I was ready to go right in " I CAN SLAYYYY MY OWN DRAGON" 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Me too. Im like what’s this extra verse 😂
!!! RIGHT
Right 😭
this comment caught me off guard because I sung the whole song part for part 😂 then I remembered i had the CD!! the best version!!
Now I’m older little did I know how much of a women empowerment song this was.
I was just talking about this the other day!
& that’s when i started to sing it with my chest! cause i’d rather rescue myself anyday.

@@amylee8969 the 3rd movie was the worst without raven
Same!! They were probably my intro to feminism and I didn't even realize it till now.
This is the only version I accept. They killed it. Their songs still randomly pops in my head.
Same 😭 especially THIS one lmao
I didn’t even know there’s other versions 😭 cause this is elite !
y’all don’t sleep on the original version. Play actually slaps
I just found out there's other versions, till this day I didn't
i5 was the original, Play were the second to record it and then The Cheetah Girls
We were too young to comprehend this but: a catchy pop song about feminism, self-love, and independence

HOLY HECK. I remember being in 4th/5th grade jamming to this in the school yard. I’m 26 now. I haven’t heard this since my childhood. I’m shaking rn
I was in 10th/11th grade👍👍
I agree now I sing them and do the dance with my 5 year old daughter . My husband thinks she wasn't gonna like to but she does and it made me so happy
I had just turned 13. They were the TLC or Destiny’s Child of Disney Channel
Omg same my jam in elementary! Biggest cheetah girls fan!
This had no business going this hard lol this could drop now banger
This was the Destiny’s Child of Disney Channel.
The cheetah girls 🥰🤩will always be my #FAV GROUP. They taught me how to be independent n not take bullshit from any one especially little boys
Thank you disney for making me a strong independent woman. This song still motivates me at 27!
Self love and confidence is everything in a world where people push codependency all the time! Love this song and its message!
I played this for a group of 4 year olds and they legit had a full on performance. I was in it. This movie and the songs ARE TIMELESS!!!
The harmony in the Chorus , and the background is and has always been TOP TIER IDC IDC we stannnnn
This had noooo business going this hard lmao
Oh yes it did. Cheetah girls had raven and 3LW produced by Whitney Houston
I’m 27 and this still slaps like I’m 10 years old again. Damn I miss these days! I had everything cheetah girls
If I ever have a daughter of my own I’m definitely singing this to her ❤️✨
First verse definitely hits
No you don't understand, THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SONG
29 and still listening to disney songs😂😂😂😂😂
Fuxk yea girl I feel you!
Me too!! That’s because they’re so relevant and accurate, plus incredibly catchy!
Amen 😍😍😍😍
They’ll always be apart of us lol

I was 5 when this song came out I’m 25 and I’m just now understanding this song 👑💕🔥
This song just randomly popped into my head & I could not be more thankful for having this movie as a kid 😂❤
Classes of 2003-2006 represent. I was around 16 and 17 when this song came out one of favorites. What great decade of music to grow up in.❤️❤️❤️👍👍
2005!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
2006 🎉
I will never forget seeing them in concert!! It was my first concert ever with my dad. I got up dancing like I was praise dancing🤣😂😭😂😂
Yes girl!!!!! Radio Disney came in clutch when it came to announcing their concerts
2:11 my favorite part makes me cry cuz that shit is true.
You would kill a beautiful dragon!?
@@pvtjhon he would dream his own dreams
How dare you kill your own dragon and have your own dreams!!
Showing this song to my daughter because it has a great message! And because it makes me think of my childhood ❤🥹
Being 28 now I can truly say I enjoyed this as a child daily
DAMN you really realize just how empowering this song is as an adult
Even boys can admit they watched the cheetah girls once or twice in their childhood 😂 me personally know the movies by heart
Turned 30 today and STILL blasting this jam! We don’t need no man!
Why can’t this version be on Apple Music? 🔥🔥
0:59 yesssss the harmony
These lyrics are so deep ❤and beautiful
The bridge alone deserved a Grammy
This is still my JAM! It hit different now that I’m an adult lol😫🥰💕🙌🏾
Okay cause I was bawling singing this song😂. It’s was like healing my inner child 😭🤍
I cry everytime I hear this song !!! I never understood what they was saying until I grew up 😊🙏🏽 I appreciate this
I feel fortunate to have been exposed to this messaging at a younger age. Even though I didn't fully grasp its power until I was older.
y’all saying the “extended version” crack me tf up 😂 this is the whole song.
I remember on Disney channel on the commercials the music video would come on. This is was a bop then and it’s a bop now!! This is coming from a guy.
I bought the cd at a half price books back in 2017 right before I left for college. Man I played this so much my Roomate wanted to change tooms 😂 ..she did
25 yrs old and still listen to this ish ❤️🤣
I miss my childhood
Very nostalgic. This came out when I was 10 and I’m 30 now but I loved this song by them. ❤
I love this song from a very young age it made me realize how independent a woman can really be♥️
A BOPPPPP

This song still gives chills I swear they need to reboot this franchise one more time for these up coming Disney new generation. A new cheetah girl but this time around the cheetah girls are the parents guiding there children to fame
Chloe x halle should be in the cheetah girls reboot
This jam promotes feminity
It’s feminism!
I love the awesome song! This has always been my favorite song and it still is!
All 90's and early 2000's RnB/Pop girl group just use to hit different.
Just realizing the original creators of this song is from a girl group called play back in the 90's
Not play they were 3LW
Oh wait oh shit I didn’t know this I read through the comments . My bad
It was done first by i5, then play, then cheetah girls.
i5 did it first but their label was absorbed and they disbanded before they could take off. Play did it next, and their version is my favorite as of yesterday when I learned all of this shit! Lmao
Lol I had to come to listen to the soundtracks!! My childhood shows/movies were the best!! I'm introducing my kids to it!! 😂❤❤
Not me banging this is 2022 again like it's the hottest new r&b track 🤣🤣
Not a million yet? Sheesh let's go down memory lane and get it there
This song has a great message.
I need FLO to sing a cover of this
YESSSS
oooo oh yes
I was of the few boys to admit that I loved the cheetah girls
I liked all the shows or movies on Disney regardless if they were geared toward boys or girls.
A lot of boys liked them they just pretended not to
@@theofficialVEVOformuyes we do😂😂
31 and I can still slay my own dragons
