As a 15 year old I used to sing this with a smile on my face, bobbin my head back and forth... now as a 29 year old woman I listen and sing with tears in my eyes.
Same here. As a young kid in the early 2000s, I listened to this song not having a clue what it was about. Now as a man in his 30s, it makes me tear up for all the people (women, men, and non-binary alike) who are abused by the very person who is supposed to love them the most. I’m lucky that my boyfriend isn’t abusive and that I have never been in an abusive relationship, but physical, emotional, and/or psychological abuse can happen to anyone. If someone out there reads this comment and is experiencing abuse from their partner, know that someone out there loves you and that while leaving your abuser can be really difficult, no one deserves abuse and we all deserve love. And abuse is NOT love no matter what your abuser tells you.
As a 45 year old man who put his woman through university to get a career to help us & then for her to leave me & kids (as good as grown) for greener grass (different man) this hits so hard as she was the one playing about why’ll I was the one sobbing at home over her & still am a long time after…. Much love, health and happiness to everyone from England….
Not only that, they cast the some of the best to co-star. In Rain On Me, Larenz Tate wasn't even visible in the first few seconds of the video. All you heard was his voice and he took it from her. Here, Terence D. Howard brings his skills, as well. In a little over four minutes, the man makes this a visual triumph. His presence, his timing and his ability to flow, yet stay in control of the storyline (even when he's not speaking) is a testament to his immense talent; even in a music video. Well done.
Yes 👏👏 I also rate another tune i think was really ahead of its time, and is one of my favourites - N Dubz 'Playing with Fire' I can listen on loop 🎼🎵❤💙✌️😍
Exactly right, TY! Beautiful, intelligent, creative; she had some of the best collabs back in the day too. Don't understand why these kids from Tiktok are so popular. Who cares if some random can make up a simple 15 second dance & then upload it? Makes NO sense. Rap and R&B was sooo freakin good back in the 90's & 2000's. Best collabs, beats, hooks, singers × rappers to date. Plus, Rock was still alive & kickin'! Then it all started going downhill around the late 00s/early 2010's. Ugh, Lord have mercy I sound really old! Not trying to hate tho bc there are some good songs every now & then, just speaking straight facts - AKA: my own personal opinion, lol. 🤭🧐
This whole music video is a remake of Goodfellas and Mesmerize is a remake of the end of the movie Grease. What that tells me is that she’s not intrinsically talented enough to come up with her own theme for her own videos. Come again with “so talented” and “underrated”???
@@mallorywaters87 I’m 32 and I don’t think music even 20 years ago was all that good. I mean, it was better than what they’re putting out today, but that’s not saying a whole lot. Also, the bullshit of today’s pop music was made possible by the bullshit pop music from 20 years ago.
@@urb089 you're right about anything after 2010 is straight garbage I don't listen to any music dropping today. You are wrong about music 20 years ago, it was still good, maybe not as good as anything before 2000s though. All music started dying somewhere in the mid 2000s and by 2015 it became COMPLETE GARBAGE. I'm 36.. Also even though this video is based on Goodfellas, it's still well done by Irv Gotti. the mesmerize video and song sucked.
My aunt was the biggest fan of Ashanti. This CD was on REPEAT in the car every time. She's the reason I love her!! And always said her and Nelly would be a cute couple
What is it with these retarded takes? She was one of the biggest artists of all time, this is like a comment you say about an unknown indie band stop with this nonsense, slap yourself.
Yea because now she acts ghetto not to mention her many surgeries she looks so different i used to look at her as a respectable female artist with actual intelligence and bot just "street smarts" guess those times are over....
Summer Holiday She looks exactly the same. She NEVER had surgery on any part of her face or body. It’s called Makeup. You sound like a certified hater.
You are way more likely to hear an Aaliyah song on the radio than an Ashanti song. So I'm really surprised that someone would know of Ashanti, but not of Aaliyah no matter how young you are.🤔 Have you honestly never heard of "One In A Million", "Are You That Somebody", or "Try Again" ???🤪
Ashanti has to be one of the most underrated artists ever. Most kids nowadays probably never heard of her which is a shame. She was a beautiful looking woman and still is. Can’t believe this came out 20 years ago.
Ashanti was and still is naturally pretty. Today's women will never know natural..ff 20 plus years later, Ashanti still natural and looks younger and prettier than the artist out now.
Omg RIGHT! lol I didn't know shit about this song at the age I was when it first came out but I sang it like I knew lmao. Now it hits different for sure! 😪
@Naturale85, sis this chic destroyed our girl song and didn’t change it to “cover” until she started getting drag. I hope she know she still can get sued because she’s making money off the song. FYI, I just purchased your black soap shampoo ❤️❤️❤️
Love, Honor and Respect to Ashani because she is an incredible R&B Singer. In fact, she is the Boss when it comes to Creative Control when it comes to her music.
When Ashanti said “ See, when I get the strength to leave You always tell me that you need me And I'm weak 'cause I believe you And I'm mad because I love you So I stop and think that maybe You can learn to appreciate me Then it all remains the same That you ain't never gonna change” I felt that shit!😩 💔💔💔

And Im sorry for you too but stay strong I promise everything will get better! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was just a kid when this came out While so inconent. Into nothing but water fights and games. not worried about a damn thing just having fun. How i treasured those times. Now days, a grown up now, I realized those words really mean well. Appreciate the days when you're a kid, don't grow up too fast You're lucky to be your age right now, no responsibilities just freedom. Just enjoy each age that you are!!
Naw I can’t decide between 70s, 80s, 90s, or early 2000s. Too much good stuff to pick. Cuz don’t let me get started with the ojays cry together , or got damn Voyage to Atlantis by Isley Brothers 😭 but then again my heart is at Simply Red Holding Back the Years like I literally can’t pick and I’m 27 😂☝🏽
this is the only thing keeping me from crashing out , this is my exact story right now . 😭💔 thank you for this beautiful song i never understood it until now .
You appreciate songs like this when you get with a girl who’s been treated so bad and didn’t know her worth and then you come along and show her a different meaning of love.
I went to dollar general today and this man was blasting this in his car and you can tell it was the video because all you heard was 1:42 😂 I tickled on the inside, you know I’m here at least 3 times a week 😅
I've watched this video a million times more or less. The one thing I can never figure out is if she lives with her parents and he stays over or they live together but her mom and dad stayed over that night he came home late. Please help! lol
I cried listening to this song again. It sucks being with someone who don't value or try holding you back from what you want to do instead of motivating you more. I have so much respect for all ladies who have been through or are going through something like this it aint easy. God got us tho 💯❤️
Over a decade ago since I've listed to this song. Whilst the relationship was toxic. I guess she couldn't help, but give their relationship another go. The moment he cheated was clearly the sign to drop his ass and leave. I was rooting for her to walk out the door with her bags packed until she saw his sorry cheating ass and hugged him as if he did no wrong ugh... Anyways this song will always be a banger whenever I think of any songs by Ashanti.
See, when I get the strength to leave you Always tell me that you need me And I'm weak cause I believe you And I'm mad because I love you So I stop and think that may be You can learn to appreciate me Then it all remains the same that You ain't never gonna change🙌🙌❤❤
This song and video came out 20 years ago, and I still feel the same nostalgia of being a little kid singing along to this and many of Ashanti's songs. Music like this is timeless.
BlininBae yea she, can I’m just saying that all she did so far was copyright claim it so Danielle didn’t have to pay anything she just had to take the song down. Hence why I used the word “unfortunately”
Yes, everyone is still listening to Ashanti in 2019. The answer is yes.

True
You aren't wrong
When music videos used to be a whole production with a story line
I mean, you're right, but this video copied Goodfellas(1990).
Not only that, they cast the some of the best to co-star. In Rain On Me, Larenz Tate wasn't even visible in the first few seconds of the video. All you heard was his voice and he took it from her. Here, Terence D. Howard brings his skills, as well. In a little over four minutes, the man makes this a visual triumph. His presence, his timing and his ability to flow, yet stay in control of the storyline (even when he's not speaking) is a testament to his immense talent; even in a music video. Well done.

Couldn't have said it better myself. 90s and early 2000s were a great time to grow up, music wise especially. So much incredible hip hop, r and b etc
Not underrated whatsoever
The fact that MOST of y’all didn’t know this song before the whole situation is sad
right ! and i'm getting tired of all these comments talking about her . 🤦🏾♀️
Or just young. This song is 18 yrs old. Some of these people weren’t even born.

Big L was the first emcee to spit over this beat then biggie used it on his album version then Ashanti
+Razah wat was big L's track on this beat?
Mizy - Big L - M.V.P
Check out Debarge's "Don't Go".
this is the only thing keeping me from crashing out , this is my exact story right now . 😭💔 thank you for this beautiful song i never understood it until now .
when music videos had a story line and made sense
The storyline is basically the Goodfellas movie 😎
So cute
And had good a good beat and lyrics
It’s literally just black goodfellas lol

You appreciate songs like this when you get with a girl who’s been treated so bad and didn’t know her worth and then you come along and show her a different meaning of love.
😮
Plot twist, she dumps u after two2 months bcz u're too nice,,,according to her
Yes ! This was me! Treated so badly ! I lost myself worth and I lost my happiness! Thank God now I am married and so so happy!
This describes a relationship with a narcissist perfectly
Yes
YES!!!
Why do you get attracted to one?
What you search for is what you get..
Yup
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 "when I get the strength to leave you, always tell me that you need me." Smh 🙄
Hmmm how can our kids adopt to such great classic hits.....indeed early 2000's were years.

Ladies don't ever let a man play you like this. No matter how much you love them, or how fine they are. Drop it. They're not worth the trouble.
true that, they never change. how she could let him smash a lamp trying to hit her, and forgive him that??
Trying 💔
Preach
On some real shit sometimes the best advise comes from a stranger
or let a women
I felt 2:57 part that has been always been my favorite so glad I grew up listening to Ashanti 💯💯💯

Songs from the 90’s-2000’s just hit different 😪
No Soul = Too real for this Candy Pop!! Y'all let Holly-Wack, Holly-Weird, Holly-White gentrify the music industry. Take the music back. -NAS
Yeass early 2000s
FOREVER!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️💜💜❤️❤️
right
I promise in the 90s through early 2000s they always started the videos in cars
Back when Music videos were a whole movie production
I never stopped listening to Ashanti. I named my daughter Ashanti.
brianna tabbal aww
Interesting decision
Oh that's cuuuute
I also named my pc ashanti
P-South Beats 💀 BYEE 😂
This was one of Ashanti’s best songs. Most of us women could relate ! But when we get tired we will finally leave 😊
It’s crazy you say that.. bc that’s exactly what we want you to do…. LEAVE
i still listen to this song in 2024 😩
Sameeeeeee
from the start till now
Me tooo😩
🎙️🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🌹🌹🌹

This is first time listening Ashanti it’s her B-Day today so Happy Birthday to her!!!!!!!🥳🎉🎂 10/13/24
It's 2019 and Ashanti's outfits are still cute as hell in this vid.
I can't take the way she screams Maaaaaaaa! hahaha love this song forever though.
haa iknow
hahaha same!
Ki'Era McKinnie One of the funniest comments I've ever seen on UA-cam 😂😂😂😂😂😂 hold this W
SAME! I keep playing that one part over and over again, and I love that her mom is in all of her videos lol.
I've watched this video a million times more or less. The one thing I can never figure out is if she lives with her parents and he stays over or they live together but her mom and dad stayed over that night he came home late. Please help! lol
I cried listening to this song again. It sucks being with someone who don't value or try holding you back from what you want to do instead of motivating you more. I have so much respect for all ladies who have been through or are going through something like this it aint easy. God got us tho 💯❤️
Ok
amen to that
Just don't get back with them it never works out. Made that mistake to many times!
Same here anen to us sistas
She’s one of the reasons why I love black women as a Latino. Beautiful woman❤️
This is why relationships are so toxic 😂 we grew up on this and confessions
Seriously
😭😭🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Lmfaao
Trussss
Not bcs of the song, bcs we as humans are toxic, no one is perfect but some of us js try to do better.
Sad how she isn't as big as she used to be.
hey call
nai massiah l
HolyJackson I know right but I am glad that she is still doing well. I heard that she is now a TV show producer.
Been riding with her ever since she came out. I still have her debut album 😭
Pastel Pastry Good for her! Hopefully we can get another album. She's so talented
Over a decade ago since I've listed to this song. Whilst the relationship was toxic. I guess she couldn't help, but give their relationship another go. The moment he cheated was clearly the sign to drop his ass and leave. I was rooting for her to walk out the door with her bags packed until she saw his sorry cheating ass and hugged him as if he did no wrong ugh... Anyways this song will always be a banger whenever I think of any songs by Ashanti.
See, when I get the strength to leave you
Always tell me that you need me
And I'm weak cause I believe you
And I'm mad because I love you
So I stop and think that may be
You can learn to appreciate me
Then it all remains the same that
You ain't never gonna change🙌🙌❤❤
Leatile Setshedi I luv this part🙆🏾♂️
So sad, so sad what love will make you do 😥. I'm living this shit but mines is way worse
Aisha don’t worry everything gone be alright 😊😊😊
@@domingosulica5731 thanks love 😍
That part right there
This song and video came out 20 years ago, and I still feel the same nostalgia of being a little kid singing along to this and many of Ashanti's songs. Music like this is timeless.
Damn 20 years ago 🥺🥺😂
@@ashleebyrd9797 right? Makes me feel old as fuck
Did u realize the video is Goodfellas
ashanti is gorgeous! !!!!!!
Legendary... The past is always the best time of our life 🎉
BACK WHEN MURDER INC WAS A POWER HOUSE.
If Ashanti doesn’t sue her, I will.🤞🏽
Unfortunately she only copyright claimed her so she had to take the song down but didnt have to pay anything😞✋
BlininBae yea she, can I’m just saying that all she did so far was copyright claim it so Danielle didn’t have to pay anything she just had to take the song down. Hence why I used the word “unfortunately”
You can sue people for singing lyrics of a song or copying their song *BRUH*
BlininBae she can sue Danielle for copyrighting her song? Really I don't see people suing gacha videos for copyrighting their song
