It was written by fellow singer Jazmine Sullivan and co-produced by Missy Elliott and Cainon Lamb for her sixth studio album ''Still Standing'' (2010), incorporating a sample of the 1981 recording "Silly" as penned by Fritz Baskett, Clarence McDonald, and June Williams and performed by Deniece Williams.〔 Recorded during initially unplanned, additional recording sessions for the album, "Everything to Me" was released as the lead single from ''Still Standing'' in the United States on February 9, 2010 following a request campaign by fans on Twitter. The song garnered generally positive reviews by music critics, who noted it the album's standout track.〔〔 Monica's first solo release in over three years, the song has peaked at number forty-four on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number-one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, becoming her first chart-topper in over seven years. The track was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.〔 ==Background and release== "Everything to Me" was one out of several tracks resulting from additional recording sessions with longtime contributor Missy Elliott, Monica set up following a disagreement over the album's leading single with her label J Records in summer 2008. Penned by Elliott's protégé and fellow R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan, it was recorded within three hours only. Incorporating elements of Deniece Williams' 1981 recording classic "Silly", the track saw the pair basically reprising the formula of previous successes such as "So Gone" and "A Dozen Roses (You Remind Me)," featuring music that has "an older feel," according to the singer.〔 Prior to the release of "Everything to Me" several songs were announced to lead ''Still Standing''. Despite initial reports that uptempo record "Nothing Like", a collaboration with T-Pain, and Ester Dean-penned ballad "Here I Am", both being produced by Polow da Don, would be released as a dual single before 2010, neither song was released in time for the new year as "some of the legal issues () didn't get cleared," Monica confirmed on Twitter in December 2009. Instead, the album's A&R manager Larry Jackson announced on December 18, that the Los Da Mystro-produced "One in a Lifetime" and "Love All Over Me", produced by Jermaine Dupri, were being released instead as a dual single for 2010. It was not until January 7, 2010, however, that it was confirmed that "Everything to Me" had replaced both songs as the album's first single following a campaign by fans on Twitter. On J Records decision to change the single due to fan's request, Monica commented: "It just made me realize that people want authentic Monica. They don't want me to keep up with all the different gimmicks and trends that are taking place. So that's why we picked the new single because it's just me singing." A two-minute cut of the song was leaked onto the internet on January 8, 2010, and by January 27 the extended single version of "Everything to Me" had been released. An official remix, also produced by Missy Elliott, featuring herself and the late Notorious B.I.G., and was leaked via internet on April 22, 2010. B.I.G.'s verse is taken from his song, "I Love the Dough", off his second and final studio album, ''Life After Death'' (1997). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everything to Me (Monica song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
