Brandy - I Wanna Be Down

"I Wanna Be Down" is a contemporary R&B production that lasts for four minutes and fifty-one seconds (4:51). The mid-tempo song contains keyboards and drums and is influenced by the music genre hip hop soul.[7] It was written, produced and arranged by Keith Crouch and Kipper Jones at Human Rhythm Studios. The background song was performed by Norwood and Tiara Le Macks. Booker T. Jones was responsible for the sound mix.[8] The lyrics are about a young woman's love for a man. In the chorus, Brandy sings: "I wanna be down with what you're going through / I wanna be down / I wanna be down with you". Atlantic decided to release the song as Brandy's debut single, something she, at first, did not like. In an interview with Complex Magazine several years later, she stated: "'I Wanna Be Down' was interesting" and continued: "I did not understand the thing first. I was young and did not understand what would and what would not go home at radio stations "I liked the song but did not like the idea that it was the first single that people would hear from me."[9] After the single became a hit, Brandy changed his mind about Atlantic's choice: later understood why they wanted to publish it. Everyone started using the phrase 'I wanna be down ..' and I had an 'aha' experience! " [10]
