Sittin' Up in My Room
"Sittin' Up in My Room" is a song by American recording artist Brandy Norwood. It was written and produced by Babyface and recorded by Norwood for the soundtrack of the 1995 film ''Waiting to Exhale'', starring Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett. The track was one out of five singles the album spawned and reached number two on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Norwood's most successful single on that particular chart up to that point. It is of note that the characteristic bass intro is a replica of the famous riff performed by bassist Larry Graham, of Sly and the Family Stone, on their hit "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)".〔(Bass Player Magazine, January 2000. ) '' Bassplayer.com.''

"Sittin' Up in My Room" was performed on several television and award show ceremonies, such as ''Late Show with David Letterman'', the 23rd Annual American Music Awards, the 1996 Soul Train Awards, the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, and the 2015 Soul Train Music Awards. A music video was also filmed, depicting Brandy keeping herself penned up in a retro, brightly-colored room after her friend tells her that her love interest is joining the party downstairs. Actor Donald Faison appears as her love interest in the video, directed by Hype Williams. It was nominated for Best Song from a Movie and Best Video from a Film at the 1996 MTV Awards.
==Background and recording==
"Sittin' Up in My Room" was written and produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Edmonds also helmed the drum programming, synthesizer, and wurlitzer sounds, while Michael Thompson played the guitar.〔 "Bassy" Bob Brockmann mixed the track; recording was overseen by Brad Gilderman.〔 The record was from a number of songs Edmonds specifically penned for the soundtrack of Forest Whitaker's 1995 romantic drama film ''Waiting to Exhale'', starring Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett. Musically, songs from fellow R&B singer Aaliyah's debut album ''Age Ain't Nothing but a Number'' (1994) served as an inspiration while starting the song idea for "Sittin' Up in My Room".〔 Edmonds finished most of the demo on his Los Angeles house, before Norwood came over for recording.〔 Commenting on the recording process, Norwood later elaborated: “I was going crazy with my vocal runs because I really wanted to impress Babyface. I knew how to pull back, but it was one of those things where I thought, ‘This is my chance!’ I always wanted to work with Babyface going back to (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/Tender Lover" TITLE="Tender Lover">Tender Lover" ) () Actually, he was the most legendary producer that I had worked with to that point. So when I was recording ‘Sittin’ Up In My Room,’ I was thinking, ‘This is my chance to show Babyface that I could sing!’ But he was like, ‘You don’t have to do all of that. Just sing, baby. Just keep your vocals simple.’”〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= Vibe )〕
