Lyrics:
Baby baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh huh)
Baby baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh what)
Baby baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh huh)
Baby baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?
Or do I do I need to turn it up? (Huh what)
Boy this evening was it only me
Feeling completely down to be open
Down to be open for some satisfaction
Didn't want to say yes, afraid of your reaction
I knew it was wrong, for feeling this way
Especially the thought of givin' in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide, I was thinkin'...
I should make a move but I won't
I know you're probably thinkin' something is wrong
Knowing if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
If your still watching in 2024 you had a good childhood! 💖💖💖 I remember copying this outfit for middle school 😁
Yep!! I had the dance moves down in middle school too lol
Yes I did some time I just don't give up like that crazy Ann wadley GA Jefferson county love ya Jesus loves us 😅
One of my fave songs back in the day....and today!
Indeed
27 years ode now 😢" OH MY DAYS " !!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Ugh.. this sooooong brings me back to my childhood man!!! #GoodStuff
Sistah dawnt cry
I feel you. I know you for your hair tutorials. I glad that you like the song as much as I do.
Wow there missy, you have over a million subscribers! Way to go! Also I was born in 1985 too. Go 80's babies
Jake the snake you must not know who she is
I swear !!!!! 1998 was a special year
I don't care what anyone says. What Jermaine Dupri did for RnB is on the same level as Dr Dre did for hip hop in the 90s. He had an ear for talent and knew how to make hits
Mr Selection agreed and thats on the real😚
Right, and had some of the baddest remixes!
kelly cherisse completely agree with u. that Biggie "Big Poppa" So So Def remix was better than the original 💯
100% agree
Preach! JD y'all.
That’s the way it’s got to be! Nothing beats 90’s R&B !!! They got a message that hits home
PREACH!!!!!!!!!! If that delorean was a real time machine I’m definitely going back to the 90’s!!!! All 90’s fans are welcome to come along!!!
Nothing beats Monica
kikiki
That's when real Voice's & Real Music 😢 left
Absolutely true!
My jam. Love me some Monica. This is Real R&B. Still listening 2024.
Will there ever be anything as good as 90's r n b?
nope never in this life.....
not any time soon thats for sure
Not these days for sure.😒
Tht will never happen tht era in music is gone forever at least we still have these beautiful music to listen too they're our memories. RIP to good ol 90's / early 2000 music
+William Foote that's true
Summer 98'!! This was the shit!! I remember running to Sam Goody's back in the day to get this cd!! Fire!!
A Diana ross sample
***** Yesssss boo the summer I got pregnant...lol....miss them days!
mstoya wiggins I know that's right!!! Lol
***** WHOA! Did you just say Sam Goody? LOL Man you just made me go back in a hot second!
Camelot Music for me
The First Night is another one of those Monica songs that was before her time and is still relevant today.
It sure is!!!
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
i miss the old days
😢
One of my favorite Monica songs!
And clean message 🧼
@@Faithfullfertilitytv Very much so! 🖤
This song was a MASTERPIECE so smooth so groovy the bridge was beautiful the break dance entry this song could NOT have been arranged better!!! When I first saw this video I was like this video is so sponsored by GAP clothing the white tee's and khaki pants, but the video was shot beautifully. R&B music reminded you that you were human and had feelings and that it was ok to be emotional it was ok to be in touch with your heart music now a days is just some ratchet lyrics to a quick beat nothing soulful or humane about it some era's should be fought for rather than allowed to fade and be a thing of the past esp era's and art that kept us in check with the beautiful aspects of our humanity like love, empathy, compassion, sensitivity and transparency!
Original is Diana Ross love hangover
BRING BACK THIS ERA OF MUSIC. THIS IS MUSIC
Kirko Bangz True... greetings from Germany
No
Nigga u ain't kirko
Yes!! But they won't. Now they just promote talentless sell outs!
I got drank in my cup
One of the iconic beats of my youth. I still go back to this. The fashion, the vibe and the mood entirely. Thank you.
August 15, 1998 - 22 Years Ago Today: Monica had the Hot Shot Debut at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with her single, "The First Night." This was Monica's 8th chart entry and it became her second No. 1 hit of the year as "The Boy Is Mine," with Brandy was winding down its 13-week reign at No. 1. "The First Night" became Monica's 6th Top Ten and 2nd of three consecutive No. 1's. The single samples Diana Ross's "Love Hangover," which was a No. 1 hit in 1976. "The First Night" also enjoyed a 6-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Chart. Monica was 17-years-old at the time this single debuted and 14 years-old when she began her streak of 8 Top Tens. "The First Night" was written by Jermaine Dupri, Marilyn McLeod, Tamara Savage and Pam Sawyer. [08/15/2020]
Monica was older than 17 in 1998 she was 18 right?
Thanks a mill for this.
Respect for that💯
Classic 🔥🔥
I watched this music video a thousand times. I remember having to record it on a VHS tape 😁
If Monica and Aaliyah did a song together with them both dancing in their best in the video, it would've sold millions and millions.
Brandt dedicated 2 albums to her
@@jamiesalley604 Brandy*
Sure would have god I wish she lived longer
Back when the artist personal lives didnt overshadow the music that we liked
So true
I see what you did with your name there...Creative I like that
Tell that to MJ 💀
Tell that to Britney Spears
After all we are all in the 12th Tribe of Planet Earth.
Monica has ALWAYS been Gorgeous!
For sure
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
People always talking about they want REAL R&B music back but don't support it when it drops. Monica's new album CODE RED is coming soon. BUY IT.
Male Madonna yesssssssss
Male Madonna truth bomb right there
Male Madonna The new generation is the biggest market in the US and they're conditioned and programed to think trash is music.
Menelik Charles very true
Mario Demeritte vjhhh
This song is hella relatable for me being a teenager in today’s society is a nightmare it’s all about “getting down” 😂 I wanna get down but not the first night I needs some security first ”💍”
That's right bby,very smart of you to think of yourself, your feelings, and the short term long term repercussions of what "getting down" will mean for you once you take that leap. Plus sex ain't going anywhere.... it'll still be there when your ready
Shoot I can’t find anyone nowadays that actually wants to wait or work on things or work past things as a team lol little things are going to happen don’t let the little things ruin a great thing you know wait work and get things done together
@@Redisdead98 I found one and tied them down lol
@@XSPXtremesimmerproductions haha that’s good now just wish me all the luck I can get for that same thing 🤣
@@Redisdead98 7 months later 😅😅😅 it didn’t work out unfortunately but I’m happier single but I hope you find that someone
I will always and forever love this beat. Ever since I was a kid that’s what grabbed me.
Listen to the original with Diana.
Diana Ross love hangover the original
que mente é essa amigos
Yes Diana Ross hangover
I dont know why, but back then I found their matching white tops and beige pants pretty cool! I miss the simpler days
Thats hot wats ur ig lol
+Knightmare Mystery What's ig?
I would rock tht now
michelle preweda IG IS SHORT FOR WHATS YOUR INSTAGRAM?
still is, in the 2019. Not to mention no Guys or Girls Butts are hanging out.
I had this song on repeat like nobody's business. She was/is so pretty.
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
I cannot believe this song is 20 years old.
tasha gardiner 19 years old 20 next year
20 years just in July (2018)
tasha gardiner OMG...I feel so old. 😊
Strangely enough, this video came out a month after I graduated from high school. 😏
This was #1 in the charts the day I was born. Fact is, this is the first time I've ever heard it
Viva NonnoNanni same
Her voice, the beat, the choreography, the rap... etc. Everything is just FIRE in this song ❤❤❤
That briiiiiidgeee is fiireeee 🔥
Fish-eye lens, choreographed dancing, high contrast colors, sweeping pans, breakdancing, all white clothes (from The Gap presumably?), rolled up pant legs, a couch...this video had all the late 90's jams!
Chris DeRoin the couch...that made it for me honestly

RIP to "the bridge" in R&b music
What's a bridge ???
@@harishs3878 It can either be a pre-chorus which is after a verse but before your chorus or a section of the song that either returns you to the chorus or another verse. These are typically the most creative and contrasting pieces of the song as they can change the melody, tone, or even the beat of the song.
Master Harish A Bridge is the climax of a song.
Yeah songs today are so boring. They usually just repeat the same annoying hook over and over again regardless of whether it even sounds good.
Lala OMG YESSS NOW YOU SAID THAT I DON’T SEE MANY ARTISTS DO THAT !!😨 THEY JUST REPEAT THE SAME THING OVER !🎶🙄
Monica mean self sooo pretty. 😄😋😘
Lol she do seem kinda mean
Well they did say she slap brandy😂😂😂
Mocha S She just hood 😂
Kam More 😂😂
C. C. Right, she built like that til this day i hate it
This song used to be my JAM! I'm glad they played it on Verzuz.
Me too
That All-White & Khaki Combo, crisp!
Doesn't get more 1998 than that.
The whole video was a damned gap commercial.
I thought something pretty similar. Is it just me or were even the clothes better back then?
@@ryanmartin73 those colors were hot that summer of 98, I wore those all the time.
monica always got the finest dudes in her videos
Nisha B.
Girls always get what they want rich or not flabbergasted 😲

LOL
I say the same thing lol
Always!
@John Edwards Citation needed. What is your source?
I love how simple the costumes were! Wardrobe budget was probably $50.....with change left
@Winter Sky Lmao
@Winter Sky 😂😭😂
This Beat izz SICK🔥🔥🔥
One of the most UNDERRATED songs ever!
Monica is so pretty. Such an icon. Still listening to this in 2021.
Yeah she's beautiful
I used to love this song! Listening to it again and I'm still feeling it!
Me too 😊😊
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
I trip on these 90's R&B tunes and how much class and restraint they show. It's like we still had some sense of decency. That's all changed now in the seventeen years since. Narcissism, misogyny, cynicism and lack of respect for others and their viewpoints and opinions has now taken hold. The internet has been great for some things but has been outright ruinous for others in regards to our social mores. I'm picking on the internet because that is the changing variable from now compared to 1998 when the internet was just getting started and social media was just a germ of an idea.
Odinspirit You didn't listen to much music in the 90's, did you? Because I recall the majority of it being similar to as it is now. Things didn't change - you, I, and every other music fan got older and wiser.
electrogeek77 thank you
@@electrogeek77 Thank you electrogeek! You hit the nail on the head. Telling from his or her tone, the OP is probably just reminiscent about this time in the 90s and maybe is still living in it. Nothing wrong with being nostalgic at all but the fact is...music evolved, culture evolved, we grew. Nothing wrong it's just how things manifested.
back when brandy, monica, mya, and aaliyah were the teen dreams of r&b
You mean Brandy , Monica and Aaliyah. Mya wasn't in the same league as them
+Reggie Banks She wasn't as big but she was popular enough.
I loved Aaliyah! I cried for days when she passed away :/
Mya wasn't as big as a name as them but I wouldnt sleep on her either. She was doing her thing with them too
What the hell are you talking about Mya blew up around 1998 and was a household name by 2000. Her popularity also outlasted Brandy's and Monica's.
Forever a classic! 🔥
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
Omg I grew up loving this ! 😍 and still love and respect the message 💯💞💪🏽✨
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
❤Happy birthday to you my love ❤
Love it! Thanks to Diana Ross' Love Hangover sample which made this song.
😕 why was that necessary?
thanks for the info . I didn't know that sample
+Paul Forster yes it has love hangover intonations to the music.
yes
It sure did!❤
Whoever was doing her hair during TBIM era is still the boss!
People talk about hits. This was number one, including “The boy is mine” song, Monica had 3 number one hits in one year from one album. Props to the Queen
don't forget about Angel of Mine!!
Back when it was considered cool for us as young women to have respect for our own selves. Seriously, shout out to the sisters who still have respect for their own selves. As women, it starts and ends with us.
But sadly in the “good old days“ many women were robbed of their choice as to whether they would get down on the first night.
First of God bless eveery
That's me 🎉
@@linusrandall9339😂
@@linusrandall9339leave the rape talk for another conversation. This about women who still have good moral fiber
the message in this song is all...girls nowadays this should be your anthem.
fuck that
Floridaoutlaw84 what's the rush?
Face + Voice + Body = Monica has it all
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
Facts
4EVER A CLASSIC
Monica definitely had her own LOVE HANGOVER here!! That sample was Pure Genius!!
Jermaine Dupree is one of the greatest producers in the music business.
This cd was everything!!!
right!
From start to finish
I love this entire album
40 years old, married and still BUMPIN'!
"If you want me, you've got to know me, and if you want my love. You've gotta wait, my love." Idc..
This, plus the Gap's khaki campaign of 1998 had me BEGGING my mom for new khakis and white tees every week.
I LOVE ALL THE MELANIN QUEENS AND KINGS IN THIS VIDEO
I loved this song back in the day!!
That Diana Ross sample never gets old
Big Core Mk X I swear🔥❤
It’s everything
Yes that love hangover joint..I bet Ms. Ross was getting hella checks in the late 90s for the sampling of her songs this song and Mo Money, Mo Problems
Too fire
Cold rock a party mc lyte (well, a remix of it) uses upside down
who else remembers watching this on TRL on MTV? #1998
GIRL the lead man in this video is an exception, hey blassiiiiaaannnnn
I remember when this song hit number 1 on Planet Groove on BET. Been jamming monica since Tha 90 's.
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
Still play this 🔥
when rnb was clean and comfortable.
So true. It wasn't always a sex thing, but the RnB in the 90s was like I want to love you in a passionate yet sexy way.
@@BboyTurok1990 lmao you guy's memory must be limited because the 90s had a plethora of nasty r&b too. Just had more of a balance between that and this.
... guess you weren’t listening to the real versions...
Monica Aaliyah Brandy mya all beautiful natural
MONICA!!!!💕💖😘
Lisa "Lefteye" Lopez???
This song is still as great as it was when it first came out!
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
When this tune drops in Verses 🥺👌🏾🔥🔥
This is crazy underrated for being a Billboard Hot 100 #1.
"If you want me you got to know me and if you want my love, you gotta wait my love, baby that's the way it got to be"
I don't get down on the first night !
Basically saying get to know me as a person Before we move forward
@@tevinjohnson3462 this how it is women doesn't 💋 on the 🥇 day or get jiggy jiggy you know what I mean they looking for a man to take it slow and get to know each other
The beats in this generation was so smooth and chilled, so glad to be a 90's kid!
This track does NOT get enough love probably cause its telling people the opposite of what most music is smh
I 100% agree🌺🌺🌷🌺🌷🌷🌺🌷
jáá´eu vou comer ai
Yes!! It's a positive message for young women ❤❤❤
Facts
One billion percent right. People promote the opposite of chaste. Especially this new generation 🤷🏾♂️
Back when natural beauty ‼️real stood out ‼️over the make up ...vibes 💯❤️❤️🔥🔥🎧💪🏽💪🏽
Hello How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
The change up on the bridges in 80/90's r&b always had me geeked. Seriously, let's bring the bridge and fading outros back.
Real talent! I absolutely LOVE her voice
Pure representation of generation X, song and everything , outstanding.
Principles and values...shout out to the women who still have those. If em niggaz in a hurry, let em go...They wont stay for long anyway
Siphosethu Faku Amen
Always did love this song ❤️💙 such a Banger 💯🔥 I miss these days, 90s were so special, music was so better back then, love Monica, Brandy, Aaliyah 💐🕊️, Mya and Tamia!!
The way Monica Brandy Aaliyah TLC SWV Xscape influenced the hair clothes etc was crazy..... I legit remember going to get this exact outfit!!! I had to find a flower hair tie as well I definitely wore my hair like this!!! I was in middle school I remember like it was yesterday!!!! Music made life better back then! I remember it being cool to be a classy teenager and not giving up your cookies, songs like this made it cool!!!
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there😊
A dude will not take you serious if you give it up easy that's why it's best to wait. It depends on the dude but you're better off waiting and respecting yourselves #KeepThatInMind don't let these guys fool you 💯
💯💯💯💯
Respect for you has little to do with giving it up easy or playing catch me if you can. You get more respect if you give it up on your own terms. be it day 1 or day x. where x is any positive number other than 1.
Add to that it also depends on how interesting he finds you as a person.
💯
💯💯💯💯💯
My friend don't impose your mind
This is 21 years old now?! 😲😲 Damn, time has went by quick af. I remember jammin to this back then. 🥰

very tru u ain't never lied about that!!! preach on
and whats the problem with that?
They are not raised to be women of virtue or wives! Can’t blame them blame the culture and parents!
Nothing like precious High School memories when the 90s was generation when life and this type of music was Care free.
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is James and how is the weather over there
its just my opinion ... but monica has one of these voices that has so much jazziness and vibrato in it ... it is almost like it is non-classically super-human ... it is like an ELECTRONIC SYNTHESIZER. almost manufactured. but made by a human! Every single note. Whether low. Or high. Vibrates with this colourful frequency and tone. It is not a clear sound. It is like a coarse. Yet equally razor-precise sound. the only other one who can sing like this. is i think kelly rowland.
The 90’s Music with R&B & HipHop Will Always Be Undefeated! 🏆 🎶
Who's here after watching the live Verzuz Brandy vs. Monica?
Pretty much. I forgot how much I love this song.
@@momoshiggles3631 I thought that blasian looking boy beside Monica was so fine.
Thought she should’ve played this after Brandy played Top of the World as a song match!
Meeeeeeeeeeee

One of the best female videos
This joint still 🔥 rock got damn

Why can't we have music like this today? The Vibe, energy, style, era? Music with SOUL and LIFE to it.
❤ love you lady, great Music always ‼️💙🎉❤🎉😊
Nothing like the feeling of nostalgia watching music videos on this warm summer Sunday night 🌆. Watching videos and nickelodeon and The Simpsons then getting ready for school in the morning. 1998 has my favorite R&B music. Great video 👍👍
This song, her voice, the choreography, and the outfits, I love it all. This song is so amazing and it’s one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite songs by Monica ❤🔥.

Wow 1998 this song came out and I was 16! 😊 it’s a amazing song and I remember I took sewing classes during high school and I made a same outfit like Monica is wearing in this music video. Damn! ♥️ da 90’s were the bomb.
Yessss Monica was the staple for us young girls growing up and the standard 💯💞 thank you for making this timeless gem 💎💞🔥
