ya’ll are hating for real. DAMN. i’m just sitting up here reading all dis bullshit about how bad it sucks and how garbage it is. This song is FAR from garbage!! Deez are the same people saying alicia keys “NO ONE” was a hot mess, and where is it now, # 1 everywhere with her crazy album sales. I mean u ain’t gotta like her, but please give credit where it’s due, this joint iz FIYAH!!! and i don’t care what no one says, da beat is on point and i like how she tells a story along wit it. Come on, some artists can’t write lyrics for shit and dey be all in the top 10, now heres an artist who is talented whether u like it or not.

OK, IS THAT A LACE FRONT?

I SAW HER YOU TUBE OF THIS PERFORMANCE

THE BEST SONG SHE HAS EVER SANG

Go head Ashanti. I really like this. I think it would make a GREAT comeback single. Good luck mama!

well This IS GREAT considering That Its Not Mastered be The Label yet…(Universal) They didnt Master it Yet Soo its A GREAT draft and I Love IT Fan or Not you can HONESTLY see This Is A very likable Song If Not Then You are just Plain LAME and FOLLOWING the LAMESS (That doesnt Make Sense but Soo) LOL newayz Itz A Comebackkk To MEE

Ashanti
The Declaration

I’m not impressed. I don’t hear any improvement in her vocals, just regular as usual. The song is like her other slower songs.

I’m laughing at her fans posting under different names. If you’re going to do that, don’t make it so obvious by overdoing it with the compliments.

I love It People why hate on this song or Ashanti just listen the song is off the chain really WHY WHY Why HATE JUST LOVE IT

@sista_gurl thank god for ppl! i thought i was in the minority here. i think the song is so bad. i wouldn’t call it absolute trash just b/c there is worse out there but it’s sounds like a nursery rhyme type of song. it’s just plain bad. the beat is tired, the lyrics are tired, her singing is better than before but still not unique or great. i mean if someone doesn’t have a great voice they should at least have a unique voice and/or delivery but the girl has none of that. i’m sorry but i think she’s through. i can’t see her coming back strong. then again ppl seem to like bad music

this song is off the chain no won can hate on this record. ppl seem to forget that ashanti is in her own lane stop comparin her to other artists with this record ashanti will take over 08. she doesn’t have to scream on records to show range. haters fall back

REAL NICE & CLASSY!

Who needs this?

Wow I actually like it! I have never been a Ashanti fan but I like this song it’s not great but way better than switch and hey baby.

not bad.

Very nice song. I will definately purchase it!

This shit is awful. Ashanti cannot sing she should stick to being a jump off. I am so glad that Bey is on top of the game and not a talentless chick like Ashanti. She’s horrible but I will give her credit she does sound better than manly Ciara and forehead girl Rihanna.

This is her best song since “Rain on Me”

i love shany i have every album she made, cant wait to hear what she brings to the table this time do your thing girl.

AWWW Krystal^^^^^ Must we Become So blind to see BEYONCE is not The only talent Female…Why cant people Just say what they feel And MOVE on….its REALLY not That serious To bring “Her up” everytime people Talk about Ashanti….

Three Albums And Still Going

They May Hate On her…But She Had Yall singing Foolish

We all KNow What They’ll do

when She Drops THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU

I LOVE IT !

all yall ashanti haters can eat a dick, yall broke ass bitches including the dudes on this site wish yall was in her shoes, get your money up and stop hating!

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!! GREAT WORK ASHANTI!!!!!!!!

I can’t stand Ashanti. They should’ve gave this song to someone else. What a waste of a good beat.

I think it will be a hit! The reason why Beyonce is brought up in all topics is because Beyonce is the one to beat. Beyonce is the ONLY female in R&B/pop music who is on top of her game, consistantly like Alicia Keys. I am NOT by any means a Ashanti fan personally I think she doesn’t have the package that Alicia or Beyonce has in terms of talent and vocal ability but I do like the new song so congrats to Ashanti for actually getting a hit.

I absolutely love this song. The vocals and lyrics are on point. Two thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I haven’t been a fan of hers since 2001…But I’m feeling this song

Go Ashanti!

Thanx @ christopher!
Exactly! I hate Ashanti but I looooooooooooove this song her voice isn’t gonna get any better so all of you out there stop hoping and wishing for it to happen lol. Beyonce IS on top of her game..have ya seen the tour dvd!?! Shes a PERFORMER, SINGER, DANCER!!!! She can work a stage like no other female diva right now in the game or in her league. Hands down! Alicia keys is talent cause she DOES have a voice and shes classically trained on the piano! Ashanti……..ppl lets keep is real. If you ask ppl who is Bee or Alicia, they know in a hurry because those two are internationally known superstars but Ashanti…….ppl have forgotten. I do feel that this joint has potential to take her back to where she was but we’ll see.

I like it but never was a fan of her voice

maybe it will be a hit or maybe we’ll just see it on BET’s 106 & Park for a few weeks who really knows but congrats to Ashanti for trying to comeback with a pretty goof song

i forgot this bitch even was around!!!! No lie!!!!

Awwww poor Ashanti. I feel 4 ya but I doubt you’ll be a hit again. When Bee comes out with her Timbaland produced album later this year…she’ll storm the charts yet again and have people forgetting who the fuck Ashanti is. Sorry! The music industry has no time for non-singing acts who just won’t know when to stop.

The song is cool I always thought she was sexy

SHES IS THE SAME LEVEL AS CASSIE, AMERIE, OR CHRISTINA MILLAN TO ME

I’m feeling this. Very nice Ashanti!

It ok, and just ok. Not trying to hate this bitch but the song is a rip off of MJB’s Be Without You mixed with something else i don’t like ashanti so i’ll leave it @ that

FUCCCCCK!!!Why can’t this just be an intrumental one lol!! Ok ok ok, I’ll give her something…the beat is nice and it takes ya back to Foolish

IGHT I’M IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE
BUT STILL NOBODY DOES IT LIKE BEYONCE LOLOLOL HAD 2 GO THERE SORRY GUYS SHES PUTTIN’ IT DOWN

OH AND THAT ALICIA JOINT AS I AM IS CRACK MUSIC

likes a lot but still ain’t to keen on ashitty

It might be one of those #1 hits only time will tell but I thought Ashanti didn’t even have a record deal anymore anywho I like the song its kinda sorta catchy and she tryna step up a little bit vocally mama is still off but whateva

Nothin special about the song, sounds like a song she’s already done before, it has that typical Ashnti sound to it, not a bad song

This is the best song Ashanti has ever made in my opinion. But that may not mean much coming from me since I think her vocal abilities are mediocre at best. I do like the song though and she definitely stepped her vocal game up though. I don’t see this having that mass appeal that record labels really want though…it could be a big urban hit though. I am a little scared to hear her perform this live though…lmao…no offense to anyone who like Ashanti.

Can’t compare Ashanti to Beyonce!!! Sorry you just can’t
Ashanti is like a pebble on the fuckin ground and Beyonce is like a diamond (with very few flaws). I mean be for real yall!! What nutcase would put Ashanti right up therw with Bee! So stop comparing the two ladies cause hands down BEYONCE will ALWAYS and I do mean ALWAYS win when comparing to the likes of Ashanti.

Not feeling this load of bullshit either by the way

Ok this song is my new found ballad and HELL NAW she aint no dogon beyonce

i like this song it’s cute and it’s a hell of a step up but she could do better on those ad libs lol

ASHANTIS BAK READY TO PUT HER FO0T ON THERE THROAT!!!THIZ IZ MY JAM SHE BLEW ME AWAY DEFINITLY HER BEST!!!!!!!

I like this but not loving it just yet we’ve been there and done that so this type of song is nothing new for Ashanti to do. We’ve seen it in Mary or Mariah b4 and now ever so late Ashanti is trying it out.

ASHITTY LOL NOT THIS “SAME HAND GESTURE, NO DANCING, NO SINGING, MURDA INC. REJECT” THE SONG ISN’T A BAD SONG ACTUALLY

this bitch iz wack as……………………………………………you do the rest!!!!!!!!!

I REALLY LUV THIZ SHE IS AWSOME!!!!THE PRINCESS IS BAK THANX CONCRETELOOP!!THE DECLARATION.ASHANTI CRIES ON THIZU CAN HEAR I!!

Only reason she get’s compared to Beyonce is cuz y’all keep bringing Beyonce up! Durr. Why can’t Ashanti be Ashanti & Beyonce be Beyonce? OBVIOUSLY Beyonce is more of a perfomer, where Ashanti can croon while sitting on a stool, doesn’t mean she is any less talented, she just does HER thing, not everybody has to do what Beyonce is doing, cuz then the music world would be one boring place.

Anyways, I HOPE this song blows up so she can ONCE again, shut the haters up.

BRIAN,DO YOU KNOW WHO THE PRODUCER OF THE VIDEO IZ BECUZ I JUST LUV ASHANTI AND THIZ SONG ITS PURE HOTTNESS!!!!!!!!!

I’VE NEVER BEEN A BIG ASHANTI FAN BUT SHE HAS MAD PROPS FOR BREAKING RECORDS IN THE GAME THAT NO ONE HAS TOUCHED YET…AND ALWAYS GIVING A HOT ALBUM EVERYTIME SHE DROPS. SHE HAS ALWAYS HAD NICE VOCALS, ITS JUST THAT NOW SHE HAS LEARNED TO CONTROL HER VOICE. THIS IS A HOT SONG STOP THE HATING AND ALL THAT LAME COMPARING BECAUSE IF I HEAR ONE MORE DAMN HOLLER FROM MARY-KEYSHIA-AND FANTASIA’S MOUTH, I WILL SCREAM!!!

ASHANTI……………………..DAMN!!!U DID Y0 THANG MA LUV DIZ!!ASHAITTY COME ON HOW STUPID BETTER THAN beYAWNce

Ashanti this is a BANGER… Beyonce’s album if u must know was TERRIBLE and didn’t sell what they thought becuase it was straight GARBAGE. She tried releasing five songs at once and none of them really charted so, don’t make it seem like she the bomb cuz she not. she is not NATURAL at all. Everything reads FAKE FAKE FAKE

WHY DOES EVERYONE BRING UP ANOTHER ARTIST NAME IN A POST? THIS DOES NOT SAY, I REPEAT DOES NOT SAY BEYONCE- THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU/ FANTASIA -THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU/ ALICIA KEYS-THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU ,MARY, KEYSHIA, OR ANYONE ELSE! LEAVE THEIR NAMES OUT!!! BLACK PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DEGRADE THEIR OWN FOLKS WHEN WE NEED TO SALUTE OR JUST NOT EVEN FUCKING LISTEN TO IT…. I MEAN WHEN I SEE THE WHITE PEOPLE POST COMMENTS ON THE WHITE ARTIST VIDEOS/SONGS THEY DONT COMPARE CHRISTINA TO JESSICA SIMPSON AND TALK ABOUT WHO’S LACE FRONTS LOOKS BETTER. THEY SAY NICE SONG OR VIDEO OR KEEP IT MOVING. IT’S A DAMN SHAME WHEN YOU’RE THAT MUCH OF A HATER TO WHERE YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT SOMEONE’S HAIRSTYLE THAN THE DAMN SONG YOU’RE LISTENING TO BECAUSE IT’S HOT AND YOU JUST DONT WANNA ADMIT TO IT!

Now this is hot! That other b.s. was nothing to look forward to. It kinda sounds like an Alicia Keyes song. Much better than that b.s. Ms Keyes has out now, even though some swear its her best album. Which is an insult.

this is a hot song, and im gonna do just like all you people on here that keep putting another artist name in the wrong post….janet jackson’s feedback song and the video is wack and she has NO vocals but yall are jamming to that…anyway back to the topic, this has a message and something i can relate to…it’s real music. im not her biggest fan but i give credit where its due…and she deserves it, and we all know that when ashanti takes off that wig weave or whatever she has on her head…that when it comes off theres a good grade of hair underneath…..now can u say the same about that damn beyonce(HELL NAW)

ADMIT IT PEOPLE… this is hot…..

do no lie, it’s o.k. u can like the damn song, cuz it’s hot and everybody knows it is

It’s Great and the hataz probably listening to it as we speak. LOL

I love the song. Even though it sounds unfinished like they need to add a little something here and there.

But what is even more suprising is that L.T. Hutton produced this. Who would have known the brother had skills like this???? Surely not me lol.

Love it! I’m so not an ashanti fan either, but her albums have mostly good songs, she just relases the crappy ones for some odd reason

WOW, ASHANTI BABY SEEM LIKE YOU GOT A GOOD ONE ON YOUR SHOULDER. I ACTUALLY HEARD HEY BABY AND THE ONE WITH NELLY, THEY WERE GOOD FOR INTERNET, BUT THIS ONE! THIS ONE IS SO DEEP, IT COULD BE UP THERE WITH RAIN ON ME IF SHE GETS THE RADIO PLAY! GOOD LUCK PRETTY

I agree with #68 when they said “Not white sounding enough and she’s way too dark on that promo pic!” because that’s what you all really want. look at beyonce she’s “supposedly” the woman to beat and yet she had a floptastic album, cheap looking videos(the official ones & the re-release ones), and minimum runs on the charts and on video countdowns! but she’s the head honcho and the only explanation is because she’s light-skinned( and i could swear she’s getting lighter by the day). if that had been someone like ashanti who did the exact same thing she did and the same songs etc….people would have shredded her to pieces. you cannot make quality in two weeks for an album(we know she did that shit cuz letoya was out and killing the charts and radio and she couldn’t take it)

this is a great song and im ready for a quality album to drop this year starting with ashanti!

i kno this is hella random fa me…

but Shanti sounds rather descet here.

i have never been or think I will be a fan of her image… or her vocals…

but she def stepped it up…. on this track.

ummm and yes… thats sad that a NEW promo pic of her would look like that.

Gosh, what is up with A&R these days.

she needs a new look.

cute little track tho shanti.

-outro

“everything else is…blah”

-iCON

It’s ok..too much screaming for me and especially from Ashanti.

LMAO @ #20…yup..not one single “baby” in this song..lol

LMAO @ the Ashitty stans posting under diff names. LMAO Ya’ll must be mad that everyone knows she will never top Beyonce. Please Beyonce is much hotter and a much better artist hands down. Bday is the shit and it sold 6 mill ww so obviously people liked it. When’s the last time Ashanti sold some records? LMAO She’s a flop while Beyonce has been consistently successful for 10 years and has NEVER flopped. Please you’re comparing Beyonce who’s an international icon to Ashitty who Beyonce knocked off at the 2003 BET Awards and Ashitty still ain’t recovered. LMAO Please and Beyonce has long thick hair I’ve seen her real hair now Ashitty I don’t know what her hair looks like neither do I care. The point is she’s talentless and nobody even cares about her. Ashanti who? That’s the question. People forgot this broad even existed. Beyonce is already a legend basically so Ashitty will never top her. Nice try Ashitty stans. LMFAO

Can’t say that I like this song. For some reason that I still can’t figure Ashanti is annoying to me, I kind of wish she would just go away.

Nice, I like this!

she got a hit, son

I actually really like this song.

OMG my breathe has been taking away!!!
this song is so hot!!!
shes back yall what is the haters going to say about this 1

Have any of u notice something about these stans? How come they always compare Ashanti to Beyonce but never seem to compare her to Mariah, Alicia, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Monica? I’m confused. Ashanti had a solo career before Beyonce came to the mix. What makes Ashanti so threatening that the stans have to compare her to Beyonce in particular? I don’t think Ashanti was going out her way to be just like Beyonce, so why waste time hating on her? This needs to be addressed to all the sick Beyonce’s stans out there. BEYONCE IS NOT THE ONLY CHICK WITH TALENT. U R setting Beyonce up to be a failure in the near future, cuz some of your childish actions are really turning many people off towards Beyonce. I’m not a Ashanti fan my goddamn self, but I do realize that she has improve on her vocals. The song is a hit. Really some of u need to take chill pill, see Dr.Phil and GROW UP!

wow at people comparing her? what does that have to do with the topic? anyway hot song!

Beyonce being the only chick with talent is a myth. Jennifer Hudson proved it winning that oscar. Brandy will prove it this year so will Janet Jackson, and Mariah Carey. There is room for everybody even Ashanti.

Is there a reason why we can’t register on this site? Is that the only way I can put up an avatar picture? …Oh yea, pretty nice track for Ashanti. I feelin’ those piano keys! lol

Sounds like something Keyshia Cole would sing.

All the best to Ashanti. I don’t really like her songs, but I like the girl for some reason. So shoot me!

love it welcome back shanti and alicia we were suffocating

Very nice song.
