Monica Switches Single; Lines Up ‘Love All Over Me’

Published: Monday 17th May 2010 by Sam

After initially confirming that the latest single from her ‘Still Standing’ LP was set to be ‘Here I Am’, Monica has announced that fan-favourite ‘Love All Over Me’ will instead serve as the album’s next release. Speaking on Twitter, she said:

The people have spoken again…and I ALWAYS listen to the people that love music. My single is now Love All Over ME..so excited…

I’m on the phone with Chris Robinson now changing the video treatment. And don’t worry impact dates AREN’T changing. Thank u guys for caring..

Granted I felt ‘Here I Am’ was the right change of pace (lyrically and production-wise) from first single ‘Everything To Me’, I have had ‘Love All Over Me’ on replay for the longest, hence have no qualms with it being the single. Here’s hoping it does well.

For those who haven’t heard the song, check it out below:

  3. GangsterA May 17, 2010

    The song is great and monica is so nice and lovely

  4. Brendan May 17, 2010

    I LOVE this song!! The beat bothers me tho… too much bass for such a classy ballad, but it’s still great….

    I hope “Stay or Go” is the next single!

  5. ceecee May 17, 2010

  6. NICKY May 17, 2010

  7. truthis May 17, 2010

  8. JAYLA May 17, 2010

    OMG I FOR 1 AM RELIEVED!!! MUCH BETTER CHOICE… I WAS HOPING “HERE I AM” DIDNT GET RELEASED BECAUSE ITS NOT SINGLE MATERIAL…. GO MONICA GIRL LISTEN TO THE FANS 🙂

  9. stan May 17, 2010

    much better. thank you.

  10. VLB May 17, 2010

    This is my most played song on the album

  11. Maestro May 17, 2010

    EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM CAN AND SHOULD be a damn single. TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING. ITs one of the MOST SOLID albums I have purchased in a long long time. 10tracks of great material is much better than 18 songs with 2 possible singles

  12. Daznielle (the bahamas) May 17, 2010

    LOVE DIS SONG RIGHT HERE KILLIN HER ALBUM RIGHT NOW DOG I LIKE HERE I AM TOO BUT Y THE SWITCH ANYWAY ALL THEM ARE GOOD HOPE SHE BRINGS OUT SUPERMAN

  13. Nik May 17, 2010

    Jermaine Dupri got down with this song!!!!

  14. Ben May 17, 2010

    I guess that is a decent choice. I thought it would be better for her to go with “Betcha” with Missy, cause it is an upbeat song, perfect for the summer. Summer is all about upbeats, ballads are more for off-season, but I’m sure it will still be a nice single.

  15. CJordN May 17, 2010

    I still prefer Here I am

  16. V May 17, 2010

    Boo Here I Am was much better

  17. ImHighPrice May 17, 2010

    “Here I Am” is my favorite Monica song of all time and it would of slayed the charts. I was never feeling this “Love All Over Me” b******* …everything about it is average from the lyrics to the production…her vocals wasn’t even giving me anything…

    “Here I Am” is THE single to choose…

  18. kikib May 17, 2010

    OMG I’M SOOOOOOO HAPPY W/ THE CHANGE IN PLANS! I LUVVVVVVVVV THIS SONG!

  19. SPRING May 17, 2010

    love the choice,,.. the album being on constant replay.. for weeks now.. love u Monica xoxo

  20. lamont May 17, 2010

    GLAD THEY SWITCHED THE SINGLE FROM HERE I AM TO LOVE ALL OVER ME…..HOPE HERE I AM IS THE 3RD SINGLE….ANY WHICH WAY MONICA’S GONE GO BIG!!! HATAS FALL BACK

  21. Kev May 17, 2010

    Boring! Here I am was a hit… This is a little bit syrupy.

  22. Kev May 17, 2010

    @Imhighprice, Here I am was my favorite Monica song of all time too!

  23. eH_PCD_Lover May 17, 2010

    -Here I Am- is the reason i bought the album so that better be the 3rd single

    but i’ll still support

  24. Andre Le Dale May 17, 2010

    “Stay or Go”

  25. AMaunee May 17, 2010

    Im happy because its Monica;s season I was looking forward to Here I am as a singe. It wouldve been interesting to hear how its sounding with Trey on there. Im hoping its the 3rd single. I really hope that dont wait as long for the 3rd single as they did with the 2nd. Here I am & Love All Over Me would dominate the charts they should consider following up shortly after w/ Here I am. End the album w/ Mirror

  26. Khalil May 17, 2010

    i am happy this is a single. While yes I was looking forward to Here I Am, this song is just as good! I love Monica and I will be pushing it hard…….TEAM MONICA lets go!

  27. dee May 17, 2010

    Very good decision! “Love” is a bonifide hit!

  28. hardcastle May 17, 2010

    love her music , voice and attitude and she is another one of the best in the business.

  29. hardcastle May 17, 2010

    monica is just so soulful in her singing, and i have not yet ever seen her dancing all over the stage , to get her point accross and shes beautiful. she keeps her self together all of the time and her make-up and hair is always on point.

  30. Bayarea May 17, 2010

    @MAESTRO im with you…i honestly think that any song released from her album will do great! Cuz its just that great a album! Period. But i do kno that errybody i kno LOVES this joint! I say this will be monicas 8th #1 single! Get em #TEAMMonica

  31. SEAN2010 May 17, 2010

    EITHER WAY SHE IS MAKING GREAT SINGLE CHOICES!

  32. TJ May 17, 2010

    Love the song! Heard her sing it live and EVERYONE in the crowd knew the song! It was amazing. Youtube her performing this song live. Its an experience for your ears! 🙂

    Here I Am, better be the 3rd single though. lol.

  33. Ceaira May 17, 2010

    Here I am was the reason I brought the album, don’t get me wrong…….I luv the whole damn album, but ” Here I Am” would have rocked the charts

  34. Arfa May 18, 2010

    Fail! Here I am is a smash! Why?

  35. antertain May 18, 2010

    I personally am glad of the change and the only reason is beacuse i think it’s taken long for the 2nd single to come out already.

    Everything to me is classic soul music and did great but it was left out as stand alone single too long and the momentum has faded abit.

    Love All Over Me will defo get another number 1 on R&B Charts and also likely out do Everything To Me on Hot 100.

    Maybe this time the 3rd single comes out abit quicker and there be a duo single with Here I Am for R&B and Mirror for Pop Charts.

    Superman is my jam right now but album is hot all over meee

  36. KNUCK May 18, 2010

    Both songs are ballads so I don’t understand the disappointment.. Plus “Here I am” is boring, no shade.. This era monica is all about big vocals and classics. She needs to remain consistent.. How many times has her idol whitney released ballads? Whitney is known for her ballads and monica is too. Plus, ETM has been out for so long it’s almost like she isn’t releasing ballads back to back. And this is more of a hip-hop ballad.

    I know she has made the right decision! This is my fave song from her album as well.

  37. Khalil May 18, 2010

    Again I agree with most people who liked “Here I Am”, but honestly even if you look at the Itunes sales more people brought Love All Over Me than Here I Am. Here I am is a great song very sassy and yet sensual, but that “Love All Over Me” that is a certified hit. I remember when she recorded it on JD’s youtube channel and I kept playing it over and over just for the snippet. Monica rocks this song live. Youtube her performing soul sessions…the girl is a VOCAL beast. She does not need the extras she can just be her and thats what I love.

  38. LAMONT May 18, 2010

    YES, I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS SONG WILL GO FARTHER THAN EVERYTHING TO ME AS FAR AS CHART WISE….THIS IS A STR8 CLASSIC R&B HIT….BY FAR TO ME ONE OF THE BEST SONGS ON THE ALBUM…AND SHE ALSO CAN PERFORM THIS SONG LIVE.. MAN MONICA IS JUST A VOCL BEAST…SIT BACK BECAUSE THIS SONG IS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF….

  39. Jermaine May 18, 2010

    NOOOOOOOOO MO’…STICK WITH “HERE I AM”!!!!!!! Well PLZ make HERE I AM the 3rd single.. PLZZZZZ!

  40. S May 18, 2010

    nooooooooooooo!!!!!! here i am is better single choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. NAS May 18, 2010

    Whatever you put out is fine by me cuz every songs on the album is a hit to me!!!!

  42. g3 May 18, 2010

    um no i dont like this

  43. Twhist May 18, 2010

    “Love All Over me” isnt my favorite record on the album, i actually wanted “Here I Am”, but whatever Mo puts out from “Still Standing” will be a hit on Radio and the charts. My favorite song from the album was a bonus track called “All I Know”…….boy that song is fire!!!! From the way she sang it to the words….NICE. Check it out guys!

  44. seriously? May 18, 2010

    ugh!

    dear artists:

    you are the ARTIST and CREATIVE GENIUS behind YOUR WORK. I’d hate to say screw the “fans” but seriously…go with your GUT, your BASIC INSTINCT and release the singles YOU know are right. “here I am” was the RIGHT choice.

  45. JonathanGardnerTV May 18, 2010

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    HERE I AM is THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE ALBUM!! wtf!! noooooooooo!!! The other song is nice but it has NOTHING on H E R E I A M !!!!!!! Argggghh *KMT SMH*

  46. tjack25 May 19, 2010

    I like this single choice better… this is my shower song!

  47. SKYY May 19, 2010

    IM JUST SO HAPPY THEY CHANGED IT

  48. NateDogg May 20, 2010

    Yo!!! They had to go with what they “KNEW” was going to hit hard.. not what they were “hoping” was gonna hit hard. Here I AM will be the 3rd single yall.. its all good. Our girl is gonna take care of everyone. But real talk.. she could release damn near any of them and shut the R&B charts DOWN!!! REal Music Round Here BAbY!! keep it up Mo. Cant wait to hear it ALL LIVE!!!!! Congrats to you and your Team man! (Woman) u feel me

  49. Alex May 24, 2010

    DAMN! Here I Am was going to be a HUGE hit

  50. Jay May 25, 2010

    YES, this song is DA TRUTH. This is the perfect second single. Monica and her team are finally getting it right with this album. So glad they switched the single to this.

  51. Heartbreaker June 5, 2010

    I think Love ALL over me is a great choice.. and Here i am will be the 3rd single.. i really think that they made the righ choice and move Here i am to late summer… Because Love all over me is going to be #1 on the charts… I cant wait until she start performing that song live on Tv…
