edit running 3:26.....i own a cdr copy of a radio edit
dubbed from the promo cd single which runs
4:01.......whitburns book also has the run time as

Paul, I'm betting that it was impacting CHR/POP radio on November 11. The song was a relative stiff on the CHR airplay chart, stalling out at #42 on December 13, 2002. Certainly urban radio and rhythmic radio had already been playing the heck out of it by that time, but apparently very few pop stations were playing it. Perhaps that's why the decision was made to make a "Top 40 Edit" on a separate promo CD, which in this case didn't seem to give it any extra boost.
