Knock Knock (song)
"Knock Knock" is a song by American recording artist Monica, taken from her fourth studio album ''After the Storm'' (2003). It was written and produced by rapper-producer Missy Elliott and commissioned following the delay and subsequent reconstruction of Monica's 2002 album, ''All Eyez on Me''. One out of a handful of tracks which Elliott contributed, the song incorporates elements of 1970s-style soul and quiet storm, as well as hip hop, and is built around excerpts of the record "It's a Terrible Thing to Waste Your Love" as written by Lee Hatim and released by The Masqueraders in 1976. Rapper Kanye West, whose 2005 ''Freshmen Adjustment'' mixtape recording "Apologize" the track is based on, is listed as the song's co-producer.
J Records released "Knock Knock", alongside fellow Elliott production "Get It Off," as one of two singles following leading single "So Gone" during the third quarter of 2003. The song was lauded by critics, who praised its streetwise production and Monica's rap part on the track. A moderate success at the charts, it peaked at number 75 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number 24 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Its accompanying music video, directed by Chris Robinson, was filmed as a two-part story with "So Gone".
==Writing and recording==
"Knock Knock" was written and produced by Missy Elliott for Mass Confusion Productions, with additional production by Kanye West. Lee Hatim is also credited in the song because it contains excerpts from The Masquerader' 1975 single, "It's a Terrible Thing to Waste Your Love."〔 West previously sampled the track in his own demo recording, "Apologize", which was later released on his 2005 mixtape ''Freshmen Adjustment''.〔 "Knock Knock" was recorded by Carlos Bedoya at The Hit Factory Criteria in Miami, Florida with further assistance from Marcella Araica.〔 Scott Kieklak mixed the song, while mastering was overseen by Tom Coyne.〔 Elliott also provided additional vocals.〔
The song is one out of three Elliott-produced records on ''After the Storm'', commissioned by J Records head and executive producer Clive Davis after the release of Elliott's acclaimed studio album ''Under Construction'' (2002) and the delay of Monica's original third studio album ''All Eyez on Me'' the year before. It was conceived during a studio session week in Miami in early 2003, and was produced as a sequel to "So Gone," another Elliott track.〔 In an interview with ''MTV News'' at the 2003 BET Awards, Monica stated that "'Knock Knock' is () like a follow-up to 'So Gone,' just saying that, 'All right, we went through all that stuff, now it's time for you to get lost. This is the end of the road for you.' So, it's kind of like a 'get back' record." Commenting on the recording process, she added: "She () doesn't have any fear () When she goes in the studio, her goal is to be creative and to give something new and she could care less what else is current. And she creates new trends by doing that."〔
