[@sonnyking5066]

I have been looking for this song for over 10 freaking years... I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!!

[@Awesome0894]

Saaaame. Specifically spent a solid hour today looking for it because I forgot his name and the name of the song. I knew his initials were JN and that's all I had to go on. 😭 I feel accomplished now

[@lovestonedgold1504]

Same!!!

[@laidychencarrasco2562]

Greatest feeling over finding a song

[@1stBarbieAssassin]

Same here

[@janelljean6871]

I was searching for it for 30 min and panicked. I can’t imagine 10 years!!!!

[@AngieSoEpic360]

[@teejaymalik5755]

IT’S 2024 and I’ve finally found this song 🎉🎉🎉😊😢!! I was 19, watching VH1 in the mornings before class and I remember this beautiful song would always come on. I remember asking my roommate at the time if he knew this guy, 4yrs years later we were trying to find this song and never could. 17 years later with the help of google and Spotify I’ve found it!!! Haha I wonder what happened to him!

[@capatis7310]

And my girlfriend/wife just sent me this! Glad you found it lol after all this time

[@jiveassturkey8849]

I heard he changed his last name and to Bieber, after that who knows what happened to him.

[@kennghost]

listen to “Tell Her” by River Tiber feat. him for a good idea of the direction hes taken his music in more recent times 🔥🔥

[@veronicaalleyne]

I'm 50 now, an old lady but, I remember when all was fresh & sweet & new & that's what I hear & remember when this young man sings, I wish you all sweet, lovely memories to look back on when you're older & the world's a little colder never lose your sense of wonder

[@ttalav22]

Well said

[@veronicaalleyne]

Tatiana Talavera thank you but, it's all just the result of a fabulously misspent youth & I wish the same kind of wonderful to all who seek it, share the love

[@ttalav22]

Cool.

[@ttalav22]

No need for the harsh language....I only reply to grown ups... moving on

[@veronicaalleyne]

Luis Colhoff Thanks, Luis

[@maximiltalmi5759]

[@RochellB46]

Tatiana Talavera omg I can see it

[@gossamerwings3632]

Tatiana Talavera....he's related to Kevin's wife his mother is her half-sister, so not blood related to Kevin, just by marriage.

[@geovanaoliveira3634]

This song played last weekend at my friend’s wedding and I almost fell back on my chair!!! I haven’t heard this song in yeeeeaarrr!!! I was the only one singing out this song 😂 love it so much!! Definitely was in my iPod playlist back in the day ❤

[@soniarican6275]

It’s on My Coby Mp3 Player 😂 I’ve had this thing since i was 16yrs old and i’m now 34, that goes to show how great the Brand COBY was back then , well anyway i was going through all my songs and After Tonight popped up and i was just like OMG 😳 Justin Nozuka !! 🤣

[@reetherighteous25]

So happy to bump into this again

[@Cassieschumaker]

My 17 year old self was obsessed with this song ❤ first time hearing it in 15ish years...love it ❤

[@alonzosmith8289]

Me too lmao exact same age

[@Anderton777]

✊🏻

[@maureenponderosa1904]

I remember staying up too late in high school and turning on the TV until I found “MTV2”. I had no clue what channel it was on and we didn’t have cable so I don’t know how we even had the channel, but hoping this song would come on. I was mesmerized by it! Still am 🥰

[@heyokgamingyt9638]

I know that feeling Lol I remember waking up really early in the morning as a kid hoping I would hear this song along with others like "you're beautiful" I can't remember the singer's name but my older sister was obsessed with MTV and I was always around her that's how I came by this song

[@vh1117]

My brain had the lyrics stored away after all these years.

[@sabrinamba450]

Omg same 😂 almost 5yrs later and i still remember all the lyrics...

[@levelupson4513]

My brain had you stored away all these years

[@vegaspoof5882]

It just popped in my head one day ! Out of no where lol 😹 still love it ♥️

[@MariGarci-bl7or]

✨🖤✨

[@afrotier]

13 years for me, and I still remember. What an impactful song.

[@iamdarissa]

This song had given me so much mystical, magical, and beautiful false hope of love, I started spiraling. The nostalgia. But I still love and adore this song

[@queena_]

This song still sparks Summer 2008 nostalgia ..❤

[@nostawerialceicarg5057]

Yesssss, girl.

[@AmethystTheEspeon]

Same!!!!

[@CristianoRonaldo-zy3pq]

Same

[@missllpretty]

I usually get tired of a song after a couples of months ... It has been 8 years forever gonna be in my top 3 favorites of all time.

[@sandyfabiola8374]

I love this one as well, even through the years. I don't get tired of listening to it.

[@dopkasa.1171]

I had to check the video's upload date, cuz I couldn't believe it. Good Lord, it's really been over 8 years.

[@lukebergee30]

Same!!!

[@Aisha-hq1ws]

Days same here

[@palatero]

What else you got in your top 3? Care to share?

[@infinitelz2]

It's funny when this guy debuted himself and this song on vh1 way back in like 07 or 08, it just so happened that Adele debuted at the same time with her single chasing pavements. I remember watching both the videos back to back on vh1 jumpstart before school and going " you know that Adele girl she's alright but this nozuka guy is gonna be a household name" 😂boy was I wrong, this is a great song though much respect

[@Hulkhoagie1]

I have the same memory and had the same thought haha. Still a great song.

[@karenlamb6124]

+Daniel Brennan boom

[@flytjsosweet]

My God I have the same memory. But I was in love with Chasing Pavements more myself, so much so that at that time at my local library I saw her album 19 and checked it out just to save it to my laptop & made one of the songs off it a ringtone on my phone. Man senior year of high school what a memory.

[@kellielopezz]

flytjsosweet like Regina Spektor they were You Oughta Know artists 😇

[@jmar2026]

Man maybe that’s why I associate After Tonight, Chasing Pavements and “You Give Me Something” by James Morrison together lol and I never would have guessed Adele would have been the breakout star.

[@moniquesp777]

He was so ahead of his time !! I used to love this long when it came out ❤ still love it

[@clairestilwill5284]

Once upon a time I had a best friend Kyra who introduced me to this song while sitting in her car, waiting for our other best friend amber and I remember her getting out of the car to go to check on amber and me sitting in her car listening to this song and it stuck with me after all these years. Something about it..I miss my friends dearly

[@singleplayergamerr]

I'm here in 2019 like why isn't this guy famous yet and it's almost 2020!?

[@AmiraAdora]

AGREEEEEEED

[@cristlewrite7944]

Taylor swift even gave him a shoutout in a 2008 rolling stone article. Thats why im here, and wow he is amazing

[@dontoriusknox2784]

syngle playerrr dead ass

[@rockstarstars]

[@rockstarstars]

[@jeromehill9211]

This song never disappeared from my heart. Still hits the same as the first time

[@qmaineotcg]

Same bro glad I found it again after 13 years

[@autumn954]

You know that's right. It's got hold

[@tatydial12]

This guy is so freaking talented, always hated how underrated he is! Such raw talent :)

[@MussiElle]

I just saw an add for his concert. I was like that name is so familiar , and I arrived here after 16 years WHAT ?? Love me some Justin Nozuka ❤️

[@kaylaayers2027]

I Used to get ready for school to this song. Omg! If it wouldn’t play that morning my day would feel incomplete. This is still a jam

[@chakasloan14]

Word you to I thought it was just me it use to come on MTVam in morning put you back when it was all good

[@msscooby]

Classic just popped in my head today haven’t heard this in years!!! 2023 still 🔥🔥🔥

[@daleowen2279]

Nearly 15 years ago I asked Justin to have a drink with us after I watched him at a gig in Manchester was completely obsessed with "holly" he sat with us,a special moment for me,just introducing him to my much younger brother,still absolutely class ,1 of my top albums of all time for me, hope he gets to read this comment!!!!!!!

[@JeromePJr]

This is one of those songs that we loved. But could never remember the name. Now we are all here listening and remembering. Now onto Landon Piggs "Falling in Love at a Coffeshop".

[@natfoz9953]

Heard Justin Nozuka years ago and this is still my #1 favorite song of his!!

[@TheRealJustjoka]

It should be illegal how many times I heard this song today.

[@WhyMeeSooRandom]

same...and love your pic

[@paulinepacifique9619]

I remember being 8 listening to this song religiously, I still do at 23 ❤

[@damiengarbutt7229]

My husband and I first kissed while this song played. Been my happy song since then.

[@diviab5]

It’s been 13 years and this song has less than 100M views. Deserve way more. Justin is underrated.

[@mirrorgrain5476]

Bruv, we still fkn with this in '23. takes me to senior year HS

[@brinick2905]

I always thought he was gonna make it big. I heard this song like 6 years ago, on Vh1 on the you oughta know artist thing. He used to wake me up at like 5a.m. Damn, he's so talented, I bought this whole album, just because of this one song.

[@vballchamp]

I was just thinking that same thing. That is one reason I cant go to sleep vh1 now because I wake up out of my sleep when I hear a song I like, no matter what time it is. But I LOVE this song, its so sweet and beautiful.

[@darlenearanda8857]

YESS! He was on VH1!

[@ms.x9571]

People's taste in music changed from this to ass shaking and clapping everywhere......

[@veronicaalleyne]

I do that too when I hear something I really like & this one is on my list, I'm kinda old now but, his voice makes me think of the many beautiful young men I've had the joy to know in my lifetime his voice has that sweet quality to it like first kisses & the beginning of puppy love

[@brinick2905]

Joyce Campbell in the early 90's there was ass shaking music. Things haven't changed that much.

[@rafaelamatos1790]

I heard some of his new songs and I was like "I remember this name... I could swear it was the same guy who sings that one song I used to love (this one, still love it)... So I searched and... Here I am, 15years later. So good to be back to these old feelings. Music brings so much memories.

[@1essiendem]

16 years later and still amazing !!!

[@bastiroccitanie]

I played this song for a few friends. None of them liked it. Clearly I need new friends

[@babymoon5282]

That’s why I don’t like most people….npc’s

[@soniarican6275]

Yesss you do ! lol

[@ginam5683]

Had the pleasure of meeting him in New Orleans back in 2008 with my best friend ❤ his music is still this beautiful all the feels 🥹🌚

[@alexs5574]

Was nice to see you on COLOURS! But this is definitely still the vibe. ❤️🔥

[@HARDCORESINCE84]

This song came on my Pandora mix and the feels came flooding back. Went straight to Apple Music to download everything from you.

[@purpose_boss]

2022 and this song still banging

[@astrid8245]

2023 🤙

[@attitudenoir]

I Got To Say, This Song Is Really Timeless… That’s Rare. Specially Nowadays.

[@BORNFROM6AIN_]

Bro im 24 yrs old I’ve been looking for this song for 15 years and never found it cause I used loved that song when they played on the German radio now I finally found it 🥺🥺

[@commonwealthh]

Fuckkkk! Just reconnected with this song after many years! Atleast 15 plus years! Such a great song!

[@manons2541]

God, 6 years really ? It was one of my favoirite song 6 years ago, i can't believe it ? And we did not heard of him anymore then, it's really sad...

[@omarhassankarim6661]

10yrs now

[@KNKReacts]

Ever since I was 16 maybe even younger I have been in love with this song... And to this day it still makes me tear up.

[@fitschaofficiel3086]

The Same

[@janenegibbons571]

My husband and I awoke to this video playing at 3 a.m. we knew it had to be our wedding song. I can't express how many people asked us about this after our 1st dance...as a musician you just know the song you need we married June 14, 2008 after being engaged 10 yrs. Now 25 yrs later this song still helps me through it all...Thank you Justin

[@caitlinsailors3820]

His voice is like a warm blanket and it's stuck with me for years. This song is timeless

[@Play4keeks]

Omg ❤ this song came to my mind like a flashback. So happy I found it again

[@_FrostBite_86]

2007-2024 still hits the same!

[@CB-wq6fg]

Been asking my wife for mad long about this song. Finally it played

[@RhythmAddictedState]

This song pulls all the right strings of my soul.

[@michaelagreen8730]

I can go years without hearing this song. Then randomly start singing it in my head. I love this song!!!!!!

[@xm0nicaa18]

Middleschool days🤍

[@xxxxMaddison]

havent heart this song forever had on cd and lost it. love your music justin

[@rf5510]

Still amazes me this guy isn't more popular. Perfect radio voice.

[@kaporillo84ooooooooo]

I'm glad he isn't apart of the mainstream music scene. More of him for the rest of us who love his music for what it really is. Creative and artistic. If bigger labels get a hold of him, which I know they could, they would sell him and try to change him to be just as dull, crappy and boring like most artist are today. He stands out with his music. I hope he keeps on making his music cause it sure does help me get through my life.

[@timketron5706]

This song was ahead of it's time. It would be a much bigger hit if released today.

[@jamhousestudios5596]

It’s never songs like this that get attention.

[@ChristTompkins]

Nostalgia. I’m 32 now takes me back to the Vh1 jumpstart and MTV 2 days before school jamming out at 6am while getting ready for school back in 07

[@uc9932]

[@looseyfourd]

You're lucky! Have fun!

[@pfone02]

This young man impresses the heck out of me. Must say I keep this song on all of my playlist. His talent is amazingly awesome. Can only imagine how proud his parents must be. Thank you Justin

[@kittensanrio]

25 Y/O happily proud to know I was in middle school , during my summer break I’d break night and stay up past 4 am to hear all these REAL FRESH TALENTED ARTISTS (vh1 you outta know / jump start) programs when tv was real ; music was meaningful ; life had purpose! Wasn’t black white , democrat republican NOTHING JUST LIFE WAS LIFE NOT A COMPETITION DEBATE BUT ITS JUST LIES AFTER LIES NOW EVERYTHING IS COMING TO THE FOREFRONT AND WE REALLY SEE WHATS THE LIGHT & TRUTH!!!!. STAY AWARE AND LOVE YOUR LOVED ONES!!. thanks for reading my TED™️ talk 😊

[@chenelturner7904]

this song is so damn dope it brings tears to my eyes....the world wasent ready for him he was befour his time

[@arkashunter2881]

I can't tell if you're purposely misspelling those words...

[@cloudcampos4555]

He's not dead tho :)

[@inavag3038]

i think she means that he is a way too good person for this world. you need to read beteween the lines. and not correcting her grammar.

[@yesyesnonono]

@@inavag3038 The purpose of language is to communicate, not confuse -- so yeah at face value her comment is stupid and your defense is reaching.

[@kimberlyking9523]

I wish he would bring it back. Put a spin on it and collaborate with another artist like Alicia. That would be epic.

[@sydneyfoster4271]

Who's here in 2021?? This song will always be a vibe 🤍

[@BigKnowsCochece]

Acoustic music was at an all time high, smooth era!

[@DukeofDestruction]

The only good thing to come from VH1's "Scott Baio is 45 and Desperate", were the commercials with this song.. 🙌

[@levikomio5769]

So many growing up during this era of music try to forget music that made them who they are today. When in reality it’s where their happiness lay, I hope anyone reading this with the bitter sweat feeling of going back mentally to enjoy a piece of time this song delivered loves it.

1:57 the subtle change in speed and tone in the way he sings the chorus is still laced with crack, glorious. "bytheendoftonight" @ 2:03 in particular still makes me feel a kind of way 🥹

[@nolem7529]

Just re-found Justin on Pandora recently and couldn't put a finger on where I recognize him from until now! This music video was on replay for me back in the day

No doubt one of the best songs written in the past 10 years. I bestow this honor uponst Sir Nozuka himself. Thou dost be compelled to writ more hereafter. *leaves room

[@-HRH]

Heard this on a plane once in 2007 and it made me cry...and I still haven't forgotten ✈️
