Choose (Color Me Badd song)


"Choose" is a song performed by American contemporary R&B group Color Me Badd, released in February 1994, by Giant and Reprise Records, as the second single from their second album, Time and Chance. The song was co-written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It is about being so in love with someone, to the point that they will do what they don't want to do because of their love, and will do anything for that person, even it means dying for them, despite being heartbroken. The song peaked at No. 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on February 19, 1994 as well as No. 62 on the UK Singles Chart. The group would later admit that they felt the song should have been the lead single from the album and regret not making it such.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "And the swingbeat goes on! The rhythm may be very upfront, but is only there to support the harmony vocals, continuing a long American pop tradition which dates from '50s doo wop."
