Jermaine Dupri wasn’t the only one producing hot tracks for Mariah Carey’s uber-popular comeback album, The Emancipation of Mimi. The song featured a sample of Ramsey Lewis’ cover version of “Betcha By Golly Wow” and is about a woman (Carey basically) being persuaded by an ex-lover to stay with him for the night, even though he’s supposed to be with someone else. It was definitely one of the standout tracks from the platinum-selling album not only because Carey killed it vocally, but because of West’s solid production.
