i don't care how horrible, and out of character this song is for me, nor do i care how horrible the lyrics are... i love it. and i can't even figure out why i love it. i am, however, into the video. if the video could have been only him, in the alley way, dancing, i would have been happy. it was directed by hype williams (right?).
you may remember him from such videos as gold digger
or... getting jiggy wit it (you're welcome).
ha also did some fairly insignificant stuff like california love, if i ruled the world, put your hands where my eyes can see... and rock the boat. (please ensure you do not overlook my sarcasm - these videos raised little high school jamie).
i digress.
written by miguel, his 12-year old and jawan harris, it's the second single off of his album (all i want is you). it's being categorized as neo-soul... and it's the perfect name for it. i'm super into the futuristic vibe that he has accompanied the song with - costuming, videography, and performance. and it's nice to know that an artist has some talent, that's a bit different from everyone else (minus the writing - but hey, it was written by a 12 year old! wait... what 12 year old should know what). he killed leno (not literally). and lil' wayne did a remix of this song this summer - huge props there.

one way or another, i like this song. and i will continuously listen to it. despite how people judge me based on my taste.
