Tracie Spencer - It's All About You (Not About Me)

I used to love Tracie Spencer growing up...I remember seeing her on Star Search when I was very young. :) Here's the video for her '99 single "It's All About You (Not About Me)" from her album Tracie. This was her first single after 7 year absence from the music scene. Enjoy!

[@yvettelucy9831]

I used to be obsessed with this song!!!!! ❤❤ Tracie if you out there, girl this was a true bop!

[@1unar]

Tracie is amazing + the SoulShock & Karlin productions are always hot !!!

[@TASconfidential]

Something about the 90s.. They have the BEST music video directors.... Billie Woodruff, Hype Williams, Joseph Khan. Made some of the best music videos ever .....

[@TheMsklg1981]

Exactly. The 90s were just a special era. I used to know all the names of the producers and directors. I cant name not one today tho lol

[@Nate-tw4zi]

Don't forget Francis Lawrence (he also directed this video), Dave Meyers and Little X

[@lateshiachilds3640]

They had wanting to be a music video director i wanted to attend Full Sail, never did.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

[@monkprince1050]

This song is sadly underrated. Straight banger

[@rudeboy2502]

It's hard to comprehend that this is almost 20 years old. This video was ahead of its time, It still has that clean, modern-contemporary feel. It could easily be a music video of today if only it was shot in HD quality.

[@shanenolan85]

🎯👌🏿

[@weepeng]

90s has a lot of high budget music videos, still very modern for today’s standard, envogue too gone too long, tlc no scrub. Back then music made money, lots of CD sales hence more budget for videos.

[@piecekeeper5317]

Styles change man. Just because something is in the past doesn't mean that it has to sound "old"

[@MOBROOKS]

So true

I think Francis Lawrence directed this

This video and parts of this song has been fractured in my mind for decades. I always tried to remember it, who sang it.... Then today, I found a BET midnight love play list on spotify and I FOUND IT. it's all flooding back lol. I love the internet some times.

[@sanford360]

I swear I have thought of this song and video randomly for years too! Today, I random remembered some of the lyrics and have been playing it nonstop! Nostalgia is so sweet!

What happened to her??

[@estellaeze3591]

What happened to her?!

[@blessedandbeautiful8365]

I think she is fine. People don’t understand the fatal pressure the music industry can put on singers especially being so young. They really try to control and dominate every aspect of your life. Ms. Lauryn Hill will give you Great insight of the mess they can take you through. I would never want to be famous and do not envy the rich and famous because believe me you they aren’t just handed a paycheck many sell their souls for awards, copies sold, likes and shares.

[@Vitamindeeee]

Tracie is a great rnb singer. I love this song. I have the single. The song is very emotional. It's All About You (Not About Me)" was the first single of her third album "Tracie" released in 1999. The video is wonderful. The director is Francis Lawrence. He is from Vienna, Austria. He worked with many artists: Jay Z, Destiny's Child, Shakira, Will Smith, Beyonce ans Lady Gaga. He also directed the movie Constantine in 2005 and I am Legend in 2007. Tracie you need to come back! We need you!

Have you ever checked out her previous 2 albums? If not, you should.... for those of us who were older than 9 when this came out, it was the 1st we'd seen her in years. I was happy to see that she re-emerged from her teen years to come back out as a smooth sophisticated woman with an album that reflected that. Still love her 1st 2 albums also.

She was speaking the straight truth about those jerks out there in this song. I always loved this since I was a youngster, its so real.

[@FunintheSun813]

I liked her because she was talented kept her clothes on and still sexy. I read that she received a Graduate degree from some school in the northeast and she never got married...I think she maybe the only Grad school R&B singer that alone gets props!!!

When we first met stole my heart away Your love was incredible Wonderful Then you began to change You used to make me feel special Now all you do is make me cry I gave you my everything baby But all you gave me was lies I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me When we get in a fight I'm always the first to apologize Even if it was you who did wrong I never do enough to please you That's why I can't go on No matter what I do for you It's never any good for you You always got to complain That's why I got to say I can't stay I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me Selfish baby Anything you want I do I never understand how you Could treat me bad and be so cruel You're begging me to come back to you Baby I gave you all my love But what I had was not enough You turned around & broke my trust Got the nerve to ask me What about us? I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me

This song was played alot on the radio and in the clubs but what really blew it up was MTV and BET playing this video heavy rotation along with their other popular Dance Pop music videos by other music artists. I got Dance mixes on cassette tapes from 103.5 KTU New York and Z100 back in 1999 and 2000 when they played a lot of music by Tracie Spencer during that time and also by artists like Ginuwine, Sisqo, Aaliyah, Will Smith, TLC, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, OMC, Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, Fun Factory, Next, Blaque, Debelah Morgan, Ricky Martin, Rockell, Marc Anthony, Angelina, Cynthia, Stevie B, Destiny's Child and Sonique.

This was my summer jam, and I remembered the video being played on BET and I said that is more mature Tracie Spencer that's all grown up ever since she signed with Capitol EMI releasing her self titled debut in 1988 followed by the 1990 Make the difference album and now 1999s Tracie with this slammin hit single "It's all about you (not about me)" and back then I said this sounds like Whitney Houston's Heartbreak Hotel feat Faith evans and Kelly price.
