Being from Brooklyn, as a kid in 2003 a warm day in the summer before the Puerto Rican day parade, lumidee brought NYC ppl together with this anthem. No matter the race, everyone came together as one ! Now I’m 24 wishing I just can just go back in time when I first heard it. This was my childhood
Same time as 2 fast 2 furious dropped, what a time to have been a part of. You never know you're in the best times of your life when you're in it, only after
It's so strange. When you listen back to these old tracks you get hit with such a throwback - you can clearly see yourself at that time doing something while this track played and you feel so happy. Then at the same time you realize that time is gone and is never coming back again which makes you sad simultaneously. Nostalgia much, i know - but it's a weird emotion, ya feel me?
My god I feel the exact same way. So nostalgic, I had amazing times during these years with songs like these, yet I'm sad and depressed cuz I can never go back. Trust me, I feel you.
Summer 03 was super dope. So many club bangers. Went to the mall and bought a baby blue Sean John sweat suit and a baby blue Boston Red Sox fitted. White on white AF1s mid high. Velcro strap not strapped. That was the vibe.

Missed this ERA FOR REAL!!! Hanging on the block with my girls knowing we was GOOD!!! Summertime in the early 2000 will never be another. This song just hit different.
Ive never been to New York but I can imagine the few years following 9-11 were probably interesting as the country certainly felt more unified and people were willing to chill out a bit considering we saw we all had a common problem.
Remember a summer time of 2003 my Dad had me outside working on a car as a 16 year old teen and this song was hot on the radio R.I.P old man you'll always be my hero, father, and best friend.
Finessed who into thinking she could sing? Lol. That's laughable. We all can hear she can't sing... But the song was really good and it's still a classic to this day regardless. It has happened before..songs that are classics with people who can't sing..Paula Abdul and Montel Jordan are perfect examples.
@@jonathanmornes5873 She had a few chart entries after this, she has a song she's like the wind with Tony Sunshine built off the original but her own spin. I think it's miles better than this.
@alexander Yes she has more den 1 hit n latest song I herd her on is wit Nipsey Hussle's artist J Stone n its sampled this song its called Blue Heart fireee came out a couple months ago
I kinda forgot about this song, but heard a sample of this in a new song from Chris Cross Amsterdam and knew that it sounded so familiar with this song.
This song not only made history in NY but SOUTH FLORIDA! Living in west palm beach every race, everybody, even kids were killing it on the floor to this!!
Diwali riddim is one of the best dancehall riddims of All time Stevie lenkie is a genius producer a lot of us musicians owe him their career.diwali riddim songs include get busy by Sean Paul,no letting go by Wayne Wonder,lumidees song never leave,Rihanna pon de replay (slightly altered, galang girl by TOK, Love is wicked by brick and lace....truly legendary
Loved that era of music so much, it brought something fresh to Mainstream. Especially the era of Sean Paul being everywhere, miss those times growing up 🥺
I was 4 when this song dropped, my mom was 20 and loved this song and I just remember her getting ready to this song and other early 2000’s bops. Honestly brought me to tears I miss being a kid looking up to my iconic aunties cousins and mommy❤
Damn, can't believe this song is 20 yrs old. Back in 2003, Lumidee had a concert here in Toronto - but everyone knew, including Lumidee herself, what song the crowd was waiting for. When that unmistakable beat started playing, the people went ballistic, it was wild! The nostalgia is pretty strong with this one.
@@AkaiOtinashi so true. My friend got the EP with the isolated vocals and what can I say? It was really really bad. Also the beat was used in multiple songs in the same year.
I never tire of this song. 21 years later, I still play the mess out of this song. The beat is ridiculously hot and say what you want but I adore Lumidee's vocals, especially the "UH-OH!" So fire!
Crazy how time flys! I grew up as a kid in the early to mid 90s in NYC in the Bronx and I was a teenager when this came out in 2003, now I am 33. Good memories!
Lumidee is so underrated she’s needs to be re-recognized. Sis voice is so relaxing. This song is such a early 2000’s relaxing smooth bop. This song is giving me late 90’s and early 2000’s New York hiphop vibes. This song is such a early 2000’s nostalgia vibes. This song still makes me wanna early 2000’s hiphop dance. I miss smooth music like this from the early 2000’s. I wish we can go back into time from 2000-2005. When life was so relaxing without new technology. And without everything so high and going up in the stores. I can’t believe this song is 20 years old. Time just fly by to fast. I miss being a kid.❤❤❤❤❤❤

You ain't alone and 41 now remembering these great moments and bless to still around to see and hear it didn't vanish in time
It was such a cool time, wish we could get those vibes back
Same time as 2 fast 2 furious dropped, what a time to have been a part of. You never know you're in the best times of your life when you're in it, only after
I agree. I like the song. I am a Brooklyn native. I attended a Hispanic serving institution. I graduated from NJ City University.

Probably the best dancehall era in my life back then❤
You had to be in NYC to know how hard this song hit. Everyone talks about the 90s era but early 2000’s NYC can’t be slept on.
Oh believe me this was blasting out of my mercury cougar back then 😂😂😂 the club scene was SO good during this era. Mixing rap and reggaeton! ❤
Naaa I’m from Texas & I stayed singing this lol iykyk
Same in French West Indies Island this song it was a very big hit. It passed every time in radio.
Ive never been to New York but I can imagine the few years following 9-11 were probably interesting as the country certainly felt more unified and people were willing to chill out a bit considering we saw we all had a common problem.
Facts tho
The kids today will never know 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The will know this Friday when Nicki Minaj will drop her next single sampling this song 😂❤❤❤
At All 💯💯💯💯
I swear 🦄🦄🦄🦄🫡
Indeed.
Your right I never will know🤭
Remember a summer time of 2003 my Dad had me outside working on a car as a 16 year old teen and this song was hot on the radio R.I.P old man you'll always be my hero, father, and best friend.
I remember my aunt worked so you know I had to watch my little cousins all the kids loved this song and lost it every time it came on hot97
This girl's producer really finessed people into thinking she could sing. Even she admits she can't sing on key, but good on her for getting her bag.
Then you must be tone deaf

She can sing. If I tried to sing this ur ears would bleed😂😂😂😂😂.
No he didn’t. I been saying since I first heard this song she couldn’t sing.
I hated that too but now it still gives me nostalgia xD
Lumidee definitely deserves more credit and she also deserves her flowers while she's still here
she deserves so much more!! like it goes beyond this song, she’s stacked!
What all did she do ? I thought that was the only song

let’s gooooooooo 2000s coming in strong 90s babies unite
Times of my life. You were either a baddie or you weren’t. No fillers lip injections, and botched BBL’s. This was the best time to be alive.
The fact this song wasn't at 1MIL now it is
Her singing off key gives the song the personality it needs
no its trash. stop the cap my guy.

The Queen bringing back the talented Lumidee. That’s true support. This was a hit back in the day
It's not support honey. Nicki stands to benefit from the nostalgia of this song lol
Talented? i don't think so. her singing is off pitch, off key. her lyric phrasing is unrefined and amateur...

@@AkaiOtinashi so true. My friend got the EP with the isolated vocals and what can I say? It was really really bad. Also the beat was used in multiple songs in the same year.
hit? this track is a disaster other than the drum track on it

I never tire of this song. 21 years later, I still play the mess out of this song. The beat is ridiculously hot and say what you want but I adore Lumidee's vocals, especially the "UH-OH!" So fire!
Queen of rap loading 🥰❤️
One of my favorite songs from 2003 and there will never be another time period in hip hop/ r&b music like the early 2000s era style right here.
New music just doesn’t make me feel this good. Back then we didn’t have to say Good Vibes Only because it was already apart of our essence.
The queen of rap is comin 🦄🦄🦄🦄
This song made my teenage years. If l could only return to those times. The best times of my life 2003-2007 this song was played everywhere
THIS WAS MY SONG BACK THEN ❤
Can’t believe I’m still jamming on this song even She’s singing off key 😅
I felt the same thing first 😢😂
Same 😂😂
She really is tho 😂😂😂😂 crazy how it's so iconic but loosely put together
Thank you hahaha! I been saying that the vocals were sour but it’s catchy! 😂✊🏿💪🏿💯
I don’t get this comment.. her voice sounds fine.. someone explain? lol
