She’s baaack! Or…at least we think.
‘Good Good’ singer Ashanti has been enticing faithful fans of followers of the goodies collected for her next anticipated LP. Now, it looks like fans will be getting their first taste of the former ‘Murder Inc’ princess’s offerings. Fronted on her own imprint Written Entertainment, ‘The Woman You Love’, featuring supersonic rapper Busta Rhymes , is the latest unveiled from the Grammy winner who has seen most of the past weeks touring Asia with famed songwriter David Foster.
Definitely set to to get tongues wagging, is Miss Douglas headed for a hit? You decide after the jump:
Thanks RapDose/In Flex We Trust!
Parts of this song sound like something The Chipettes passed on for one of their albums while other parts sound like scraps from the ‘Chapter II’ era. The song shows promise, but its datedness and Ashanti’s (at-time) thin vocals certainly do not do it any favors. Busta may very well have been this song’s saving grace.
Either way, hopefully this is merely a taste (and not fully representative) of what Miss Douglas is delivering. For, while ‘The Declaration’ didn’t make much of a statement on the charts, it was certainly fitting in billing as it truly was a testament to the singer’s vocal and artistic growth. But this, possibly a grower and not a shower, might win a few spins on 106 & Park, but Billboard needs more of a banger if the ‘Rock Wit U’ beauty is looking for a catalyst to re-jumpstart her once sailing career.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This song gives me new life.
2012 is definitely eyeing for REAL talent to dominate the charts once again.
Ashanti, Monica, Brandy, Christina, JoJo, Mariah…(where the hell are all the men at?)
Anyway, I love this song. Ashanti’s voice has definitely improved and seems less forced now. I’ve always loved her and her music but this song validates my love for her even more. She stayed true to her roots rather than fall on that Euro Dance Pop trash s***!
Go ahead girl and show these other b****** how it’s done!
yesss she’s back i love itt #WETEAMASHANTI WE GO HARD!!!!!!
SHE FOLLOWS ME TOO 🙂 SO FOLLOW ME @Marcosj1988

LOVE ITTT!! #HIT
Dunno whose been writing these entries but the use of “for” as in For every time or For all the hits…
it’s grating.
Being an ashanti fan I obviously LoVe it and its about time the single is out there. Its gonna be a strugglr to get it out there with this currently pop dominated industry, but I am so glad that she stuck to her roots and stayed true to herself. I’m ready for more.
Oh & a deffinite improvement on the voice! <3
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss the princess is finally back.,. she went the hell in on this song 4real this song is a hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was hoping she would come harder. Busta killed it tho.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS LUV IT THTS HW REAL R&B SHULD SOUND #TEAMASHANTI LETSGOOOO
Ashanti did the damn thing. hi haters
This song is HOTTTT! I love it, and i dnt think she needs to go the pop route. Pop route doesn’t nessecerely sell records. Just singles I.E. Jennifer Lopez. She’s good by sticking to her current format and get some urban smashes.
If she went pop people will say i dont like it and that was to much of a risk. So why not give them something different from her on an urban platform.
im started to think this is da song called “No good” the song she said that was gonna be her 1st single on the today show like a month ago
@KAI PRETTY YEAH IT IS, i think they changed the name though
@Blah either way it is still dope tho i been waiting for ashanti for almost 3 years she is bringing the fire yessssss
@KAI PRETTY LOL YOU AIN’T LYING LOL IT’S FIRE I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW THE SECOND SINGLE GONNA BE! THOSE YEARS REALLY FLEW BY FAST LOL AND FINALLY THE WAIT IS OVER!
@Blah who u telling Im glad she is bringing it this time cuz just has hit written all over it
OMFG!!! Seriously this is Ashanti?? IM FEELING IT this is definitely a hit on billboards charts about time some Real Music and no Fuckey Pop!!! Crap!! I knew she still had it in her…
CHILE! WHERE’S THE VOCAL GROWTH?!? A GENERIC MESS!
I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it ether. It took a minute to get into, but as it went along I was liking it more. Busta definitely adds flavor. I’m glad she didn’t go the euro/electro-pop route and kept it street. I was never really an Ashanti fan, but I won’t hate. I hope it does well, and reactivates black music on the top 40.
I Love this joint y’all sure this is Ashanti??? I knew she had it still…
yeah this song is cute. It grows on you the more u listen to it. I dont know if I love it but there is something about the track that I like.
Sounds pretty good. Hope we get to hear some more new Ashanti
It’s ok, but to be real, this song could have been sooo much better, without a rapper on it!!
Woooow I must say this song is sick love it
Loves it! The beat reminds me of “Only U”.
Nice song.
THIS SONG IS DOPE AS F***!!!!!!
FROM A GODGA FAN!!!
SHE GONE SNATCH WIGS WITH THIS!!!
-sips mOSCATO!!!
STFU TGJ! You talk as if you know what will be a hit and what won’t. Yet you Stan for the biggest flops of the year- Kelly Rowland and Keri Hilson. Certainly I won’t trust your judgment. You fairies only want electro-pop so you can vogue to.
Sorry, I no longer have interest in her. We have bey and rih and ciara now. Why do we need her?
Btw, the song not working.
i really dislike the song i like the repeating sort of hook/chorus hopefully its a grower i do know for a fact that it wont chart though because its to urban for tthe market these days hopefully she goes the ‘only you’ route
@I’MA HAVE TO SEND HER BACK TO HER MAKER b**** please you sound pathetic, bey ya we have her for life but r****** lmao? who can only sell singles but lacks true talent…. and who is ciara? ROFLLLLLLL LETS NOT EVEN GET STARTED WITH HER PLEASE B**** JUST GO LOOK AT HER LAST EFFORT *COUGHS* 45,000 FIRST WEEK SALES #THE END TAKE A TICKET AND MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE BUS U JUST FAILED BADLY…..
Dope song, i love it!!!. TGJ is a bunch of haters i swear :/
i like. Its different. it grows on you. This is going to be her year!!!!
Don’t agree with the nasty shade thrown on this single at all! This track is fantastic, welcome back real I Love it!
LAAAAAAWDY LAWD!!!!! THIS SO GO H.A.M……….THAT BEAT IS F****** SICK……I’M SURPRISE PEOPLE REALLY HATING ON THIS, ESPECIALLY TGJ!!
THIS SONG IS STRAIGHT FYAH…..THIS SONG GIVES ME EVERYTHING I’VE WANTED & NEEDED. KUDO’S ASHANTI….YOU DID THIS BOO!!!!
I’m going to be real, the song is okay nothing fantasic. She has alot of competion next year Brandy, monica, Janet,madonna, alicia, ciara,cassie,MJB, minaj, solange, Mariah, gaga. Its not like 2002 when you barely had artists out. R&B have drastically changed. MJB had drake & lil wayne, she didn’t even sell well. I hope she’s in it for the love of music, because she’s not going to sell like her first album did. Because alot of artists throw tantrums when they don’t chart. *cough* Jasmine, Miguel. She released an album in 2008 no one bought it. Now everyone’s interested…ugh *off topic* Missy is back with timbo & her album is coming next year, i’m so tired of minaj.
i like it , its a banger
Everyone is trying to “comeback” huh? This isn’t strong enough, great songwriter tho, better then keri. She needs something to stand out from the pack. The Way that You Love Me, was that the name of it? *2008* & Good Good *2009* I think was a great song but…..I don’t know since her second album, she lost her mojo….. her voice isn’t good live, boring on stage. No offense not interested. Mariah puts on great shows. Waiting for Mariah album…..
Welcome Back? she released an album in early 2008. It takes about 2-3 years to release a new album. Song okay, nothing great.
Could of came harder with this……to much competition out now. The song will not chart, not even on the R&B charts. Busta always brings it but…..it would of been better without a rapper. Hate it or not Techno dance is in.
The song isn’t good. After 3 years, I thought she would come harder? oh well…She still can’t sing. She should stick to acting….
ugh……nothing different….sounds like any other song out there….
Next!!!!
this ain’t hot….. *tamar voice* busta makes the song…..
…she don’t have the “it” factor anymore…..that left after her Concrete Rose album…..try again
It is okay, love Ashanti and I think she needs to do better to get back on the charts. It could work though.
Hot!!!! I love it, got it on repeat!!!!
This song is amazing! This is truly her style, great Hip Hop and R&B, and she does it like no other can! Queen Ashanti is here to stay! Get used to it haterz!
Honestly, I would like it if a stronger voice were singing. Never ever was really into Ashanti even when she was “hot”. She is true example of how fickle music consumers will hype you up then crash and burn your s***. Not sure how she fits into the music scene anymore kinda like Mya and Ameriie
Has to Grow on me real talk not her best and not what I was expecting at all this sounds like a demo song to me Ashanti needs to come harder if she wants to make a comeback real talk this is not a comeback track Try againI love u Asjanti
Has to Grow on me real talk not her best and not what I was expecting at all this sounds like a demo song to me Ashanti needs to come harder if she wants to make a comeback real talk this is not a comeback track Try againI love u Ashanti
This song is hot. I love it, go Ashanti.
I think it’s a lot better than the dance music s*** that has been ruling the airwaves. It’s also a lot more mature than her Chapter II days. I wish it was as hard as “The Way That I Love You”.
I love this song… Some of you sound dumb af nobody cares about Vocals anymore look at Rihanna Katy Perry etc… I’m happy its not no electro pop crap she sticking to her genre R&B and Hip-Hop something we been missing for awhile. This song is a grower so stop comparing her to others because she just getting her buzz back I can’t wait to hear more from her keep up the good work Ashanti please dont change to that fuckery pop music… like Beyonce did… I love your music Welcome back!!
I like it. I like i a lol
She’s Back love this joint… Haters keep on hating lol!!!!!!
CHECK OUT ASHANTI’S PROMO PIC FOR THE SINGLE MASTERED VERSION IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES NOW!

Suprisingly, i like this…. i really do… i heard it playing on Hot 97 (in New york) while i was driving 2 days ago and i was pleasantly surprised… i’m not a fan of ashanti’s voice… (lol @ thin vocals) but i think the song is great…
-This is Unacceptable.
i LOVE it 😉
Love it Ashanti! Busta does his thing on this track!
people gonna hate on it because it doesn’t sound like the dance s*** that plagues the charts atm, just cause she stuck to actual r&b it ain’t gonna sell big, but it’s sick! not as good as her old stuff but still deserves to do better than it will do
