Monica is back!
The R&B belter returns the spotlight with brand new single ‘Just Right For Me.’
Produced by Polow Da Don, the Lil Wayne assisted number serves as the lead release from the Grammy winner’s new album ‘Code Red’ – her first since 2012’s ‘New Life.’
What are you waiting for? Take a listen below…
Via The Fader:
With its butter-smooth production, blazing Weezy verse, and lush vocals, ‘Just Right’ is just what the songbird needs to place her back in the thick and mix of the Urban playing field.
Welcome back, Monica!
Mo’ got on my favorite color chartreuse! She looks fabulous in this pic!
I love the song. Old school vibe.
Monica knows how to make me yawn with this song.
I yawned, like 6 times. No joke.
I like it, Wayne brought the bars and Monica did her thang.
Love it.
Yasssssss Snatch Brandy’s wig one last time sis!!!!
Monica could never do that–keep on being delusional.
New life outsold two eleven
Still Standing outsold Human
When was Brandy’s last number one on the hip hop rnb charts????
@Jino Lmao, so only the last two lowest selling albums? Haha, I see you knew better to not bring up the first four.
Oooooooooooooohhh…you draaaaaaaaaagged the hell out of her. Yaaaaaaasss bish. YAAAAAASSSSSS!!!
As a huge fan of both Monica and Brandy, you know “Never Say Never” outsold Monica’s entire discography. Don’t do that.
* repeat ‘Just Right For Me’ *
Ok Brandy’s never say never era slayed. But what has she done within the past ten years doe???
What do you mean, “what has she done…?” I guess you’re forgetting “put it down” and where it landed in the charts. Starring roles in “drop dead diva”, “the game”, “Chicago” on Broadway, not to mention working with diversified talent such as the legendary Nile Rodgers, and new talent like “The Walls Group”, whilst getting accolades from essentially all of her peers: from the likes of jill scott and india arie, to literally every up and coming r&b vocalist, to artist as varied as coldplay and bjork! So please tell me, (and I actually enjoy, Monica) when has Monica ever?
No it didn’t you should check your sources, and check who has the most #1 #Monica
Two Eleven outsold New Life just to be clear. Check your facts boo.
No it didnt. Sit down….and not in Brandy’s empty venue in Africa either.
I’m sure Brandy still cashed that nice fat African check. And I’m sure you sing to crickets for free. Why you hating? #bishwhet…. google her accolades and get on her level.
Monica – Still Standing still slays tho. Lowkey not really feeling this song tho. I even only liked one song on her last album ‘With You.’ I think people just choose not to say anything negative about Monica tho b/c she’s so humble and “seems” sweet, but this song sucks and is whack. They won’t really push this. She will be throwing something else out soon.
@Toohotfortv
And what part of that fat check do you get to stan for her??? (Crickets) exactly. if only yall would buy her music the way you defend her on the internet. Again …..sit down
Alright mo, I hear you. Real cute song.
Heyyyy a fellow Star! #StarzDoItBest
Nice seeing Wayne continuing musically despite the dispute with Cash Money, now he should drop that Carter album. As for the song, it’s very nice and melodical Yes Moni.
I love it, cook out vibe.
Love this …..????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
it’s ok
anyways taylor’s bad blood is so damn catchy she knows how to make catchy ass songs
Another pressed Aaliyah Stan
never pressed I said the song is ok
Yesssssssss MONICA !!! This SLAYS !
The princess of R&B has returned to reclaim her throne. Brandy who? Aaliyah what?
Aaliyah and brandy Discography shits on Hoodnica’s even mya’s discography is better hoodnica is bland and boring from her music to her music videos to her fashion she is bland and basic and boring no creativity what so ever
Hmmm, lets see. She has NEVER had to take off her clothes, sing abt suckin d*** or sing abt bein a bad bish to sell a record. Unlike Beyonce’s dumb, uneducated, unoriginal, inspired ass, She finished Hs. She can articulate herself. Her kids look waaaaay better than blue poison a** looking ass. Her husband looks way better than M***** Joe as well. She can actually sing unlike R**** n Beyonce.She dresses far better than hoeonce. She’s had a certified album as well as a number one hit in the 2010’s unlike Mya, Brandy, & Aaliyah.
Angel of mine, for you I will, don’t take it personal, so gone, should have known better, everything to me….don’t pretend like you don’t know. If you were grew up listening to Aaliyah, you were probably listening to Monica too. Oh and Bey doesn’t have a “boy is mine” no where in her discography, she is great but she doesn’t have that :).
Not necessary. Just compliment the song without throwing petty shade towards others who aren’t the subject.
There is way too much going on in this song. Her vocals are lost in the beat. It sounds like it MIGHT be hot, but Polow should’ve edited/mixed the track better.
I agree with this 100%
Imma need a new mix done for the album for real. But I like it.
This about Monica keep other people out discussion..
I’m Lovin This……Perfect For Summer….This a Urban Smash
LilWayne verse is Hott and great start of the song, Monica vocals
Are Clear Strong and Epic…can’t wait to purchase….
MONICA is back! This is the perfect summer song! Radio friendly and hands down a smash! Monica vocals are always undeniably amazing! I’m so happy! All of these comments about other artist are not needed. It’s not about her going against anybody it’s her moment and she’s doing great!
This, my friends, is who I’ve been waiting on. I love Monica! Undeniable vocals. My bish is BACK
New Sound, Hot vocals…this song is straight up fire. Can we please keep Brandy, Aaliyah, Beyonce & all comparisons of any & every female artist off this post! What are y’all 12!..lol. There is enough room 4 every1. Radio ain’t playing r&b…if anything we should b united.
Back 2 R&B Goddess Monica. Can’t wait 4 Code Red. Loving the new look & sound!
Why is Brandy being mentioned on Monica’s post. That beef is so 96. Both ladies have MATURED & grown into LEGENDS of R&B. LET THAT GO. Love this MONICA… Her voice sounds so angelic & pure.
Looove it!! I’m not here to compare Mo to any other artist,her career speaks for itself! Im just here to enjoy the music. All the best to Monica, and rnb artist with good music in general
I love R&B and I like Monica but this sounds a little dated and its just alright. Her comeback single should of been a lot stronger IMO.
I don’t think it sounds dated but I kinda see what you mean. Since her rumoured release date is September, her team will prob push a “real” lead single (bet it’s a ballad) closer to the album date?
Preserve your legacy. That is all.
I love it, Monica we ready for you bring back that good R&B music! SMASHHHHH!
Anyways today is baby futures 1st BDAY!!!
That was cute. I love Monica I’m excited to hear more new music from her
I like it…sounds fresh and new..nothing generic about it…
I always liked the fact that Monica always stayed true to her r&b roots
she is so under rated as an r&b artist….
I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us
wayne is my n****…he always kills it
Please leave Brandy out of this. They aren’t even in the same boat. Brandy’s on broadway, joining the biggest show on TV (Empire), has her OWN show coming and is working on an album. Monica’s taking medical billing and coding classes lol no competition. And yeah, this song is boring as hell. I already forgot how it sounds.
Monica has her coins, a phoine ass NBA player husband, and 3 beautiful children. She can study billing and coding or whatever she wants. Her or Brandy ain’t gotta prove s*** to nobody- they are legends. You are not- never will be. Get off the welfare and picking favorites on free wi-fi
which is great for Brandy but if Monica is such a 2nd-rater then why are her first week sales equal or better than Brandy’s? how come her singles perform better? *sips tea*
I love it. It sounds great on the radio and perfect for the summer. I’m glad to see her putting out music. This and “do me like that” are dope in their own way
Screaming at the report that shows Kanye, Fistopher and Beyonce lyrics are below 3rd grade reading level
This goes HARD
I’m a Monica fan, but she’s lost her edge. Sorry. This is not good enough. She needs things reminiscent of ‘Like This and Like That’, “Before You Walk Out My Life’, but in today’s vein. I hear NO HITS from Monica. C’mon Mo.
It’s ok. Doesn’t make me want to buy or anticipate the album. I’m so angry because I have always loves monica. But over the years it seems she has strained her voice or something. These songs do not give her voice justice. Anybody can sing this song IMO and it’s nothing great going on in this song. This being the first single let’s me know how this album will be. Just like the others (except her first album), boring.
So forgettable like everything else she’s done past 2003……………………
All of you that are claiming Monica and Brandy are “Legends”, please stop!…These ladies just reached DIVA status within the last few years. I’m sure one day they will be considered Legendary, but today ain’t that day. #theyhavetoputmoreworkinfirst
Seeing Monica and Brandy fans fight.

I remember when Brandy and Monica (sound wise) had an edge to it. I mean they were nowhere as out of this world like aaliyah, but they used to have great uptempo songs. I’m going to say this and you guys can get mad, call me name or whatever, but these two ladies been lost and directionless since Aug 25th, 2001. Mo doesn’t really have anything to sing about, Brandy (tho she’s doing well on TV and broadway) can’t get her aristry down right. We shouldn’t be thinking of Moisha in 2015! But hey, atleast they can still sell more than 20K and 6k the 2nd week.
Girl bye! You give Aaliyah too much credit. She wasn’t even that big!
She was bigger than your hooker faves. #Sit
Brandy is a TV star, Movie Star, Music star & Broadway star. Two different leagues. Hoodratica is just a seasoned K. Michelle/Keyshia cole lol
Decent song, but idc if I ever hear it again lol
I notice Brandy STANS comment on EVERYTHING involving MONICA. If Yall don’t like her why check for it?? Brandy hasn’t had a hit since Bill Clinton was president. Have several seats. She probly ran the 90s but once 2000s came, MONICA kept coming with hits & #1 albums & more success. Brandy needs to stay her goat faced ass on Broadway & focus on her acting gigs cause musically she’s over.
That’s mostly trolls, hon. But I didn’t know fans of other artists couldn’t listen to music of others. Coming for other people’s faves hurling insults is not going to make this a hit song. Check yourself.
Girl please FM outsold ATS without a #1 hit like So Gone. All Eyez On Me the album was SHELVED because the single flopped! Afrodisiac outsold The Makings Of Me and Still Standing shipped 500K because of her reality show! Let’s not act like Monica was on Beyonce or someone’s level. S*** she wasn’t even on Keyshias level because even she has three platinum and one gold album from 2005-2010 lol.
I scared to press play, hope it doesn’t sound like that “Do Me Like Dat” garbage she put out few weeks back.
Why are there Brandy stans in a Monica post pressed as f***. Shouldn’t you bitchs be worried about your POOR MANS ET UGLY ASS CRACK HEAD LOOKING FAV. Damn you bitchs are always in a Monica post with your insecure ass. Worry about Brandy, if you don’t like Monica, stay the f*** out of her post..ugh just like your fav, “Insecure and ugly inside and out.
I find it hilarious how monica fans are stuck on what a few Brandy fans are saying on a blog when the mess was actually started by a monica fan/troll. Clearly this song is weak and not going anywhere otherwise yall wouldn’t be so pressed and worried about others say. #priorities #getittogether
Stfu b****, and worry about your UGLY ASS ANGLER FISH looking fav “aka weak head game Norwood”, who basically right now looks like she’s on life support.
Yeah, you’re mad. Worry about your fave’s barren uterus.
And worry about your fav’s FLOP ASS CAREER, the 90’s says hi.
Your fave, her husband, and sister ALL live for my fave! She is accomplished, blessed, and coined! Her career is just fine, thanks!
Keep telling yourself that, whatever makes you feel better.
My Queen, I love it! Monica never disappoints me. I’m so excited for this album! So first Toni, Janet, and now Monica, I can’t deal!!
FIRE!!!
But Brandys vocals slays Monica. Monica sings like an off key goat and she is ghetto and FAKE as f***!!!!
Girl coming from a Ciara STAN. Your fav did 19K 1st week. You’re not even ALLOWED to comment on ANYTHING concerning MONICA or Brandy …
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS MONICA, there is no denying her voice, the beat is smooth and DOPE (might be just as dope as So Gone). Why do stans of other artists (ESPECIALLY BRANDY) who aint doin s*** right now try to throw salt? if yall would buy their albums as much as you hate online then maybe they wouldn’t flop or have records on the radio RIGHT NOW. PLEASE STFU AND HAVE SEVERAL SEATS…………COME THRU MONICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ain’t doing s***? WTF you mean? Brandy is on Broadway, she’s going to be on Empire, and will have her own show coming to BET. She’s also working on an EP, an album, and book. What is monigga doing besides releasing flop music? Maybe if you short attention span having rodents spent less time feuding with other fans, this bird’s songs would actually chart and she just MIGHT sell a few more albums. Get that sh*t together. Now you can shut up and have a row full of church pew seats.
Don’t you mean Brannigga, that murdering h**.
No, monigga. That ghetto killer from the slums of ATL. She murdered her ex-boyfriend Jarvis. Probably for drugs. SMH #neverforget #JusticeforJarvis
Lol yeah ok, but Brannigga being a murder is a fact. #Killerofmothers #JusticeforAwatefAboudihaj
This goes hard. #Starz #Doves UNITE !
Exactly
LOL you’ve been CAUGHT troll! You’re the fake ass Brandy, Monica and Aaliyah Stan whose been going around starting drama!
I don’t think it’s him or her, because that person literally trys to get each artists dragged. I just think from the looks of it, he or she was trying to bring the Brandy and Monica stans together with that. Anyway, I like this song, it’s hot.
It’s a grower. It’s always great to hear some new music from the Vocal Slayer but I want her second single to hit harder than this.
The song is cool, but it doesn’t stick. Come harder Mo!
I see you Mo.
Dear people Monica knows her genre and she been in the industry over 20 whole years and able to still release music and execuse strong vocals.
This is not a Brandy vs Monica vs whoever forever thing. They stay slaying the longevity and are not broke.
A whole lot of the newer ones could learn and should.
Nothing fake just to fit in
Go in Monica. And I see a lot of people are pressed and not using their computer time wisely.
Mmmmh its cool i guees, but i think its just out there to get some attention? The girl can sing, so can Brandy, Beyonce, Pink, Tink…. They are just in different lanes and thank the good lord for variety, which i believe should be appreciated. We need some more luv and support or maybe just more opportunities to educate others on music without trying to drag each other. Lawd!
I like this, it’s hot.
Its ok, I need a second listen, It just doesnt sound like a first single. I wish her the best, and cant wait for the full album.
This song goes hard. Love it. What I hate is the sicko fans talking their mess when all these ladies have grown into beautiful women, doing their thing, repping for each other. Why cant the fans do the same a help R&B music instead of speak ill about these artist. Take a page from country music. I saw Monica promote two eleven and brandy dud the same. Grew to f*** up.Cant wait for code red!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Monica, I am BORED!
Yes Monica, this is HOT!!
I like it, but I don’t love it.
Amazing ???????????????????? song
Come thru Monica… Hurry up & put this on iTunes .
She put Weezy on it to guarantee a hit this album, Stale Life sucked lol
She’s Legend and nobody is f****** with her
This song is ok but it wouldn’t be my lead single I had really wish she’d stay away from polo just for this album she needed a fresh sound
Each album sounds the same, I’m sure we’ll hear Missy shouting “New Monica” every other track. So predictable!
This kinda sounds like her song anything to find you
Dammit…this song has been stuck in my head all weekend… I don’t think it will be a big hit (mainstream or r&b) but I think it is good enough to get ppl attention…. I think it is completely dumb of her label not to already released it for purchasing… it’s been out too long now the only ppl who are gonna buy it is her fans where she might would’ve gotten some non-fans to purchase it if it was available earlier but now everyone already has it on bootleg if they want it
