Monica is back on the scene after a two year hiatus with her new single “Still Standing” featuring her boy Ludacris. Monica revealed earlier this month that she changed the album name from Lessons Learned to Still Standing, because it was more fitting. The release date is still TBA, but it will definitely be coming out before the end of the year.
So far, the singer has worked with producers Bryan Michael Cox, Babyface, Drumma Boy and Stargate. Her team also is in negations with Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo, Polow da Don, and R. Kelly to contribute to Still Standing.
Make sure you check out Monica on her MySpace page and show her some love.
i think im liking it!
i see she’s rocking the old school lil kim pose!
Im fully felling Monica can’t wait to hear the new album…..
It’s a nice song. Come on Brandy and Monica!!!
That song was hot especially with my boy luda riding the track. I am glad that she is rocking her trademark short cut again. Babygirl still looks good after having two kids.
not bad. it can get played in my car
I like it I heard it yesterday seems like it could have belonged on After The Storm but the real singers are coming back……”I let go and I let God” say that Monica.
I am going to have add her cd to my list of to buy for this year.
I love Luda he kills it as usual
ii lOVE DiS SONg
Go Mon’ – love you. The voice is flawless as ever. I hope to also look good after 2 kids! Work it mama.
@ # 2 – you right! she is….too bad li’l kim doesn’t look like she used to, but that’s another story for another day
Heard this on her reality show. The label wasnt feeling it but I love it! Go Mo!

This song is boring. Great your still standing. We can see that. Scratch this and put something out that we can feel.
@2 I was thinking the same thing when I saw that pose , I like this song, love the message, and Ludacris did his thang!!!
I love this son.Monica coming back doing the damn thing.
Luv Monica! As far as the pose is concerned, at least her private area isn’t smack dead in my face. Lil Kim’s was not a good look. On the contrary, Monica looks great. She just had two kids back-to-back, yet she looks fab. I’m definitely getting my copy from iTunes.
Sang it Monica! I liked this song as as soon as I heard it. It’s explaining her dilemma, and it knocks at the same time. Luda ripped the feature as usual tool. I don’t know why her label isn’t feeling it. It’s the perfect comeback record to me.
*too
Monica is making a pure FOOL out of these girls, a pure damn FOOL!!!
Better late to this site than never. .
But yes. Monica has sealed the fate of every pop/r&b singer right NOW. Monica just made these lades look STUPID!!
Im talking about SUBSTANCE, EMOTION, POWER, VOCALS. Everything. Monica just keeps it so real.
I CANT!!!!
Standing? Looks more like she’s squatting to take a dump.
I like the song though. I hope it does well for her.
song sick! i like her…she cool and more of herself !
I like this, it sounds like a Track 1 song, right before you get to your jam on #2! But where is our jam Monica??
I love her though, she has been around long before these other scallywags and still looks great. And im feelin that picture too Mo!
MILF!
Monica is so hell bent on having a bad attitude and throwing her “status” (real or imagined) in everyone’s face with these interviews and songs choices that she seems to forget that it’s not about just putting out an album – but putting out a GOOD album, and as far as I’m concerned, as great a talent as she is, she’s yet to put out a cd since the first two that had more than two decent songs on it.
Her talent is too big for the shit she puts out. This song I can actually see growing on me, which is great, but sub par when I think about that phemonmenal voice.
Such a waste of talent. Monica reminds me of Lauryn Hill – the talent is there, but she refuses to use it. WHY are you singing silly shit like this when, with the industry void of “diva’s” actually SANGING right now (see, Whitney, Mariah) you could take the thrown and run it, since few have the vocal abilities you have right now?
Still standing? Possibly! Still RELEVANT? Not so much. But that’s HER doing!
@ 2, she is, isn’t she? lol
Monica looks cute! I may have to bite, and steal the pose!
i like this song… coming from her. yeah she has been through a lot. so respect her in the game. go monica
I like this song. The lyrics are great and I like the feature. However I don’t see this being a single. At least not the first single, it’s not powerful enough. It just doesn’t hit you like a first single should.
LOVE this track, I know this is not her first official single, but love it nonetheless. GO MONICA!!! Welcome back. She is showing them girls how it is supposed to be done!
I like but i like Brandy’s first single Right Here(Departed) better. they should kill the industry and collaborate on another Boy Is Mine type song and win another Grammy and break bread together again!!!
Not interested.
I dig it. Good look Monica.
Monica is bringing back what R&B is missing….SOUL. After hearing this song I feel like i’ve just been baptized in the name of Jesus. Can I get a AMEN?! LOL. This song has substance & depth…there is nothing silly about staying true to oneself & despite any obstacles in life…despite the pure hate & evil of people wanting you to fail- i’m going to stand, my head will never hit the floor. Let it go & let god in. What!?! This is more than a song its an ANTHEM. This song is on repeat! This is SANGING….
My family tuned in to her reality show and the entire house got quiet when they dropped the beat for this song. I don’t remember the writer’s name, I think it’s Adonis or something, but he is very talented. My only issue with the finished product is Luda. I was upset that she added him to the track before she played it for the J. Records guy. That could be the reason he wasn’t feeling it as a first single. Why is it necessary for R&B singers to add rappers on their first singles? Step out there by yourself and add they asses to the remix or something, but not your first effort. I know they are cousins and all, but I’m really not feeling him on this song.
SMH @ Monica
Why is she in this photo squating with her legs open??..she has two kids!!
Please be on your grown and sexy and stop trying so hard..
This track speaks volumes!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
I wholeheartedly agree with #24 and #33. Monica is too talented to settle for being a hood chick. She has the pipes and looks to be right up there where Whitney used to be. C’mon girl, get it together. Hopefully, the rest of the cd has a more mature theme.
THANK YOU MONICA!!!! This is the sound I like from Monica!! Not that “Everytime The Beat Drop” MESS!!
The vocals are on point..Real singing… Real soul… Real depth is being brought back to music. THANK GOD! Needless to say this song is now in my Zune!
She looks beautiful. I love her. I saw her profile on millionaire personals site “”"”"”"”"W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"”"”" last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site.
its ok….im glad her and Brandy are back to rule r & b again.
Yo Yo Yo Monica is killing all these R&B hoes with that raw talent that she has and not many artist have it. You listen to the girls out to day and when Monica, Brandy step in the room and open their mouths all of these other singers just get shut down with their flawless voices. The only person who can really hang with Monica & Brandy is Jazmine Sullivan. Thats the only singer that can hang with them. I am over joyed that my girls Monica and Brandy Im buying both of their albums and you all should too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy that Monica is back. This is a representation of true talent. She is what the music industry needs right now. GO MONICA!!!!!!!

How the hell is Monica trying to be “HOOD” in this song? If you listen to the lyrics, hell even if you listen to Luda’s lyrics you can’t even say that it’s “hood” this song has REAL meaning behind it. I say if you’re gonna be a naysayer, come with something with some merit.
This is a good look for Monica. That last album was a no no. Time for her and Brandy to bring back the hotness.
Monica and Brandy cannot be compared to anyone out there. Both of them have their own unique sound and really cannot be compared to Beyonce. Beyonce sounds like Beyonce, Monica sounds like Monica, and Brandy sounds like Brandy. I dont understand why people cant just like the artist for them and not what they sound like
@36, #24, and #33. “Monica is too talented to settle for being a hood chick.” She has the pipes and looks to be right up there where Whitney used to be. C’mon girl, get it together. Hopefully, the rest of the cd has a more mature theme.”
You can’t be serious. What do you mean settling to be a hood chick? Monica has always been herself. It’s about being true to self, not being true to someone elses expectation of you. Mind you Whitney is not a “polished” diva herself (pre or post drug problems). That was the image they built around her. Real recognizes real, and Monica is a real chick, if that’s “hood” that’s what it is, take it or leave it. But I really don’t think “hood” is the right word to describe her.
Anyway…The song is fiyah, great message, has substance, Luda dropped some nice lines, and Monica’s voice is flawless. It’s good to hear some good R&B again. I do think this record will do great in the urban market (radio is going to eat up), but I’m not sure how much crossover appeal it will have (which I’m sure the record company is going for). Either way I think it’s a good luck to stir up a buzz for Monica’s new project.
I love most of the R&B female artist out now (Ciara, Rihanna, Beyonce,etc) they all do their thing, but I think Moncia and Brandy about to show this girls how it’s done and who started it all.
# 36, Monica is a hood chick. She’s more talented than that for sure but I’ve accepted that this is what she wants to be. Disappointing because it seems like she has more class and more sense. Anywho, I liked the song.
SHE’S BAACCKK Hot dammit!!
I love this track it’s very appropriate for her I think,gosh Monica can sing! Have always been a fan,”Just one of them days”.”Inside”.”Should’ve known better”, just some of her stuff that I still listen to to this day…I tell you she’s back!!
I am personally a huge Monica fan and have been since she came out. I really think she is what the game needs….it seems no one knows how to sing anymore. It’s like as long as you are a size 3 with a cute face and can somewhat manage to carry a tune…you can get a deal and it’s sad to see. But anywho…I’m lovin the song and can’t wait til the album comes out. I’m just glad it didn’t take another 5 years this time…we all know she’s good for that…lol.
this song is so hott.
i LOVE IT, WELCOME BACK mO. sHE STILL STANDING WHAT?
