[@kristopherdavis2715]

Wow. To know that she was 15 years in this performance is just iconic within itself! Sounding like this?! From the soul, the tone, the diction! Amazing! My dear god! Monica is R&b royalty! You gotta respect it!

[@StunningShay]

Right RESPECT THATTTTT

[@fatimacottle1968]

❤🎉🎉🎉🎉QUEEN 👑 SHERO YESSSSSSSS GOD'S PLANS 🙏🏽 she sounds like a full force growing glowing flowing woman at that moment and age. Been following her since day one. My sister sister in law looks like her seriously 💯 haircut and allllllllllllllll 90s 🎉❤😊

[@rudolphmcneill515]

INDEED!!! 2024 HERE. ❤🎉🎉

[@GarlandBrooks]

She got that old-school "H" Town sound. Talented, brainy and beautiful she is.

[@JNICEN40]

Her and Dino are each others counterparts. I’m glad somebody see this

[@aphilkasi]

Monica recorded this song when she was 14 Years Young and was 15 when she released the song as a single… Pure Talent! 💎

[@shaa.8657]

She was 12 years old they didn’t release it till she was 14 though

[@MrsCrandon]

She recorded it when she was 13yrs old Go look it up who she was tlking about

[@TheInsaneBEAST1]

Younger than 14

[@alonzostokes4878]

Definitely 12 she said it

[@sandramoore2129]

@@alonzostokes4878y’all sure she wasn’t 11? The more I read this post the younger she was. I heard 13 but what ever young age she was she slayed this song very talented. I’ve always loved Monica.

[@missnaji]

I'm so happy that this was the music we where listening to in the 90's.. and still.

[@SouthernMocha-mf8ke]

I just love the deep low undertones… something about it is just so smooth and soulful. Reminds me of Baptist gospel singers ❤

[@trillythagr8259]

Can't belive she was only 16 here!! Wow!!

[@chosenone1340]

Only 15! 😂 this was feb 1996, she didn’t turn 16 until October 1996

[@nakaylafelton8639]

[@joelynch6098]

My favorite song on Miss Thang. It's so underrated despite that it hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

[@PaparazziPete]

I’m 28 today, was only 1 and a half when she was performing this HIT!!

[@angholloway5091]

Wow I was almost 6 my brother was born summer 97!!! Good old day's!!!

To be able to sing like this at this age is incredible. Generational talent

[@sandramoore2129]

So young, so talented, so beautiful, yet she doesn’t seem to get the recognition she is so deserving of. Let give this women a title. I think she should be called the queen of R&B

[@mariodemeritte]

Definitely. To me she is and will always be. Still noteably sought after and still relevant up to this day. ❤❤❤

[@adrienneflowersscott9290]

She was just a baby when she recorded this album. I always thought Monica and Elizabeth Wolfgramm from the group the Jets were magnificent singers. Both were so young when they recorded their debut albums. Just beautiful! ❤❤❤

I knew as soon as she said “can I slow the Apollo down a lil bit tonight” it was UP 😭

[@PaparazziPete]

Fact: 🗣 She was only 12 when she recorded this song, they waited til she was 14-15 years old to release it as a single!

[@nancymitchell6204]

This same bum men you talk about are the same ones single mothers created. You failed you own sons and now complain they aren’t nothing. That’s what you get for kicking men out the house and talking government handouts. 😂
