And I

"And I" is a song written by American R&B singer Ciara, and produced by Adonis Shropshire for Ciara's first album, Goodies (2004). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on August 30, 2005 (see 2005 in music) in North America.

The song was originally the third choice for the fourth single. Ciara has mentioned in an interview that "Thug Style", "Hotline" or "Pick up the Phone" would be the fourth single, but when Ciara suggested "And I" to executives at her previous record label LaFace, they were unhappy because they wanted "Next to You" to be the fourth single.

Chart performance

At the time of the U.S. release of "And I", Ciara's collaboration with Bow Wow, "Like You", and her collaboration with Missy Elliott, "Lose Control", were at the height of their popularity. "And I" peaked at 96 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and 27 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, which were poor positions compared to those attained by the first three singles from the album Goodies. It was not released outside North America because of this, and it is Ciara's least successful single.

Hotline Bling

"Hotline Bling" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake. It was released as a single on July 31, 2015, the same day that several diss tracks aimed at fellow rapper Meek Mill surfaced on the Internet.

A Director X–directed music video for the song was also released, receiving positive reviews from critics. It subsequently gained popularity on YouTube and spawned several parodies of it. It has been included on numerous year-end critics' polls. "Hotline Bling" received commercial success worldwide, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Drake's highest-charting single in the United States (tying with "Best I Ever Had" in 2009). It also reached number three in Drake's native Canada and the United Kingdom, where it became his highest-charting single as a lead artist. A spanish version by reggaeton and R&B singer Randy was released on February 2016.
