The original incarnation of Kehlani‘s banging comeback single, ‘After Hours,’ already contained a throwback t0 2004 with its prominent sample of Nina Sky‘s signature smash ‘Move Ya Body.’

But, just as the April 4-dropped ‘Hours’ continued racking up spins and downloads on digital outlets its GRAMMY-nominated creator has lifted its official remix – this time throwing it back to the 2004 hit ‘Cater 2 U’ found aboard Destiny’s Child‘s last studio album ‘Destiny Fulfilled.’

“Why don’t you stay? / Stay here after hours / I know you don’t wanna leave / Stay here after hours,” she wails on the slowed down version of the dancefloor-ready bop.
