Feels great being an Ashanti fan and seeing people respect her music when people try to belittle her talent so much ! Ashanti is an amazing R&b artist and is VERY underrated. Major Label Or Not Ashanti Your Fans Love You 💯😘 EDIT : it’s 2024 & the person who inspired this song has stolen her heart again. They are now engaged & expecting a baby ❤️🍼
@@YasminYoruba I actually just watched a video yesterday about her. Her music downfall had nothing to do with anyone taking her spotlight. She actually would have had a lot more offers and promotions, but companies backed off because she was associated with Murder Inc during their investigation. Also, her producer always turned down offers on her behalf and she would know nothing about them. She finally, when her contract was up, didn't resign with Murder Inc and went and created her own label and did her own thing after doing acting and Broadway for awhile
This was my ringtone back in 2013 after my 4 years relationship ended with my first love. 7 years years later I'm happily married with a family of my own! Time heals all wounds so let it do its job!
She writes her own songs and started her own label so let's not compare her to artist who don't have the same credentials. No shade but she's been here...
People were totally asleep when this song was released. Ashanti this was some of your best work. Your vocals and range are off the charts. We can really see how your voice and lyrics have evolved. Great job🤗
How did this song not revitalize her career. At this point, it is clear that Braveheart is not being released which, in my opinion, is tragic considering how much she has grown as a vocalist. Ugh... Fuck the music industry!
Never should have messed with my heart, when you knew you had issues, you weren't ready from the start. Everything you told me, everything you put me through, was just to take away the loneliness inside of you. How is that fair, to anyone but you? You knew my heart was open and you stole it. You never should have been the one to hold it. This song is beautiful and here is my lil freestyle to it🖤🖤🖤 Ashantis voice is god
It shows that relationships are made up of all types of people in this world.... and whereas you can clearly see that relationships fails at time ..from any part of the continent.

@@anacortinas8956 that could be it, but I'm not sure the time line of when her sister was pregnant. I know when this song and album came out her sister was still with the guy that beat her.
i think Ashanti underrates herself.. she plays it safe and doesn't launch herself or career all the way.. she should take the risk (financial or whatever) and just go for it.. big show production, international tour, everything big.. just like Beyo.nce, JLo, Akeys etc . She sure got the calibre and the fan base... she should just trust her catalogue
Damn why am I now just hearing this and this album?!?!? 2016. ? She needs better promoters....if I knew she was back doing her thing, I would of got this album back when it came out!!!!!!! This is 💯💯💯
You were all that I wanted I fell in love with all of your heart and your soul From that moment couldn't imagine You went from hurting me you're mistreated my love I should have known Rivers of tear drops These sharp pains in my heart If this was the way that you loved You never should have loved me You never should have loved me You never should have touched me You never should have, never should have Told me you loved me and you would never leave me. 'Cause everything that you would do It made me fall in love with you Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to Balled up, laying in my bed Thoughts racing through my head How did we start out in love and end up here You said you loved me and I believed you Seems like you don't even mean what you say. Rivers of tear drops, This short pains in my heart This was the way that you loved You never should have loved me You never should have loved me You never should have touched me You never should have, never should have Told me you loved me and you would never leave me. 'Cause everything that you would do It made me fall in love with you Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to You were all that I wanted I fell in love with you 'cause you loved me and I thought that you were ready I thought that we were gonna be a family And if you weren't then you should have let me Keep all my love to give To someone else You never should have loved me You never should have touched me You never should have never should have Told me you loved me and you would never leave me. 'Cause everything that you would do It made me fall in love with you Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Hmm
LOVE does not care for your ethnicity, if you're lgbt, for you body physic or your wealth. This video showed it and it couldn't get any more real to show how the world is right now and proving that, LOVE is LOVE. I related to the gay couple: 1. because my husband and I are interracial. 2. my soul would crush if anything like that were to ever happen between he and I. Love is THE most powerful feeling on the face of this earth... Don't take it for granted.
My country (USA) doesn't appreciate her talent at ALL. it's so unfair because she's amazing and has as much talent as any other female R&B charted artist
When my heart was hurt badly I couldn't not deal with this song because when I heard it my heart was tore up already from the man I thought I was going to marry, this song made my heart burn and hurt more than it was. But it's ok now.
Wow, you too. My heart hurts every time I hear this and I just sent it to the man I was supposed to marry via text. Probably shouldn't have. ...we have a child together unfortunately. Don't get it twisted, I love my baby and still have baby fever and she's a year tomorrow. I'm still not completely over it though. We would've beeen married for eight months now. 😢😢😢
They're about to separate in this year.. 2014 he was with Miss Jackson already... I think she really loves Nelly😭 and hoping for, marriage, babies, family with him. But wr cannot always get what we wanted..
Thank god I have I heart radio I just randomly heard this song for 5 seconds and I enjoyed it. I hope a big company picks her up because she's very underrated.
She left Murda Inc. It all started in 07. Irv, didn't want to help her record her album. Which kind of ticked Nelly off, because he was the one to help Ashanti not her own record label. It all goes back to Ashanti spending so much time with Nelly. Which is understandable since they were together. Irv didn't like that, he thought Ashanti was being disloyal. So Ashanti wanted to be released in 2008. Irv didn't do that until 2009.
The song is so underrated…..this new generation letting good RnB songs fading out cause they don’t wanna hear good quality music smh and that’s why this song didn’t went far cause it’s really good, but people rather listen to gibberish now
I wish I could see her I would ask her could she sing this song bc it uplifted me when I was going through my relationship situation. I love this song soo much
She's such a classic. Don't ever stop making music PLEASE. We need your voice especially in this generation. I️ will always love Ashanti!!! Thank you for continuing to bless us with your music!
I LOVE THIS SONG AND YOU CAN TELL ASHANTI IS HURTING I PRAY GOD HEALS HER AND KEYSHIA COLES HEARTS THEY DESERVE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING TRUE GENUINE LOVE
This song always makes me cry shows me how deep her love is and was with Nelly I wish they'd get back together she's a very strong woman so she may not take him back
I love this song so much cuz I can relate to what she said you should have never made me fall in love with you is too late to take it back why would you play with my heart and my emotions like that knowing you didn't love me the way I love you shante is the best singer and always will be.
I’m here in 2024 still. When I saw her and Nelly back together, this song was my first thought. I hope he treats her right this time ❤.
🫶🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Absolutely me too she sung this song this song from a heartbreak I listened to it going thru years ago
some of this she shouls re release and sing more at her concerts❤❤❤
I'm afraid for her, we all know she loves Nelly hope he treat her right
I thought we were gonna be a family that hits different but Thank God finally they are going to have that family 😍🥹
This song should have gotten more recognition, so beautiful
I agree
I totally agree
I love this song. Ashanti is under rated
a lot and feet to be the best friend I don't want you know how you
I agree
I love Ashanti she has grown in music
She needs a stronger team! She's underrated and it makes me so damn mad.
Lola Rew for real
Lola Rew h
Lola Rew u be mad too , I hate how they down grade her
She needs to get rid of her mother as a manager.
Toni Peterson Her mothers way on thinking is hurting her career.
Realist songs are always underrated... thats why i like to listen 'em
This is still a BOP
I was thinkin wit my ex and that was for her to
💜
Realist???
Ashanti said this song was about Nelly. Now years later she and Nelly are back together! 🥰
Too bad real music like this doesn't get played on the RADIO hardly anymore. This is EPIC!!!!
albeno carmichael fr!!
4real not fair.
right!
Yess
YUPPP
Music hits different when you’re living the lyrics .
I cried when she said "i thought we where gonna be a family"
Yes! That hit home for me too. :(
That's the best part of the song.
Word :( single moma for all my daughters life til I fell in love with d.m :( fuck love though
jahoor nee it's about Nelly
Nina Marquez AkeriaRivers true
She should have been a bigger star than she was. This song should be on all radio stations, it feels worthy of a grammy performance. She's stunning!
Why on earth doesn't this song have like 1 billion views honestly???
Feels great being an Ashanti fan and seeing people respect her music when people try to belittle her talent so much ! Ashanti is an amazing R&b artist and is VERY underrated.

Yes Indeed, I adore Ashanti.

Nyeemah Jiminez AkeriaRivers she my favorite female R&B artist
Nyeemah Jiminez She is incredible! I hate that Jlo took her spot light.

This was about Nelly!!! I pray he don’t hurt her this go round!! 😢❤❤❤
2023, and this still hits hard.
Definitely still on my playlist
This was my ringtone back in 2013 after my 4 years relationship ended with my first love. 7 years years later I'm happily married with a family of my own!
Time heals all wounds so let it do its job!
💜💜
❤❤❤
who said Ashanti can't hit the notes. love this artist, always have, always will

You do know that bravehart was released and hit number 1 I think
ROYALTEEEE1 no I didn't know that. I can't find it anywhere
YupImNuts have you tried Target or Best Buy
johnny blanks yeah and neither of them carry it. The girl at Best Buy never heard of it lol
it's on itunes
Wow this came out in 2013 and I'm just now hearing this... I know I am not the only woman who can relate to this song...
No, unfortunately. 😪
“How did we start out in love and end up here?” The question every broken heart needs answered…..
Never should have messed with my heart, when you knew you had issues, you weren't ready from the start. Everything you told me, everything you put me through, was just to take away the loneliness inside of you. How is that fair, to anyone but you? You knew my heart was open and you stole it.

This song is beautiful and here is my lil freestyle to it🖤🖤🖤
Ashantis voice is god
Rachel Lynn PERIODT I felt every word u said
Damn i felt this
💪🏾💙💯
Felt this hard
Ok bars 🔥💓
this song makes me cry every time.... no one should ever feel unloved!
I love this song so much. I don't see why people have a problem with the gay couple. I applaud her for putting it in.
+Leif Siegrist Those who dislike gay people are struggling with their own identities. Thumbs up to whoever decided to include the gay couple.
bc thy ugly!!
+L Reignt ugly just like yo ass
that's so rude ur ugly
It shows that relationships are made up of all types of people in this world.... and whereas you can clearly see that relationships fails at time ..from any part of the continent.
I love it at 2:50 where she says "I thought we would be a family" and she touches her belly and makes the shape of a baby bump.
Really is that what she did? I guess we couldn't see that for ourselves

That part touched me too. She truly wore her heart on her sleeve in this song. Ignore the sarcasm - your point was clear to me. :)
that is what she did
This is such a beautiful song. Braveheart is a wonderful album and underrated imo.
This song is so incredibly beautiful.
Lula Wolf agreed
Love it
Definetly one of her best!!!!
Lyrically, Vocally, Emotionally, you ROCK effortlessly.....so underrated
Something about this video is so beautiful yet so sad at the same time that it makes you want to cry.
Hi
Just came back to listen to this masterpiece ❤️
Here after verzuz... and ma gawd! Shanti is so underrated.
I fucking luv this song
This song always make me cry :'(
you shouldn't listen to it then
Really you don't get it???
because it makes you cry.
Hey
Was that ashes thrown in the water who's ashes were they????...She so beautiful and sings so beautiful I love her music always will💜💜💜
Just noticed the ashes, I wonder was she ever pregnant by Nelly 🤔
@@satkins2664 I wonder 😔😔
@@satkins2664 I googled and I think she did it in memory of her sisters miscarriage that's what I think tho
@@anacortinas8956 that could be it, but I'm not sure the time line of when her sister was pregnant. I know when this song and album came out her sister was still with the guy that beat her.
Who still listening this in 2022?
ME
Amazing song. I felt this way years ago. I thought I´ll never get rid of that horrible feeling but now it´s gone. Sometimes it´s better to be alone.
Then you never should have loved me... You never should touched me.. I can't take you back if I wanted too..
serenity rose You have my daughter's name.. I'm sorry you were in pain, I hope you are in a better place now. xoxo.
Oh for Nelly.. 😔
This song should of received more recognition. She's amazing and the most beautiful black woman in the world. She's also aging so gracefully
i think Ashanti underrates herself.. she plays it safe and doesn't launch herself or career all the way.. she should take the risk (financial or whatever) and just go for it.. big show production, international tour, everything big.. just like Beyo.nce, JLo, Akeys etc . She sure got the calibre and the fan base... she should just trust her catalogue
This Definitely Was For Nelly! She Hit Every Note With Hard Emotions!! I Hope She Play This On Verzuz In January 😍😍😍
this song was beautiful. so much emotion, still love you ashanti.
Damn why am I now just hearing this and this album?!?!? 2016. ? She needs better promoters....if I knew she was back doing her thing, I would of got this album back when it came out!!!!!!! This is 💯💯💯
I pray that both of you and Nelly are ready to have that family you always wished for this time around 🙏🏾
Gorgeous song. One of the many reasons this woman owns real estate in my mind
I love this song so much, just beautiful! Ppl need go stream all her songs over & over again. 🖤🖤🔥🔥
Song and video gave me chills
Oh my sweet girl Ashanti this song always got to teary up,I'm happy you are with him now in 2024 l pray is forever for you both 🎁🙏
She's painfully not acknowledged the way she should be. Those of us who know know. We appreciate you Sis. ❤❤❤
My heart is breaking for her :( bless you Ashanti. Have your family with your true Man
Ac
SMH it’s songs like this that needed more recognition! I loved this song growing up ❤
Here after Verzuz and Nelly hug. So emotional, she pour her heart in this song. One of my favourite till date from Ashanti❤❤
Beautiful song. I love it.
Hits my heart. The bridge is killing me.

Wow this song is dope!
This is fire i just came across it
You were all that I wanted
I fell in love with all of your heart and your soul
From that moment couldn't imagine
You went from hurting me you're mistreated my love I should have known
Rivers of tear drops
These sharp pains in my heart
If this was the way that you loved
You never should have loved me
You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have, never should have
Told me you loved me and you would never leave me.
'Cause everything that you would do
It made me fall in love with you
Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to
Balled up, laying in my bed
Thoughts racing through my head
How did we start out in love and end up here
You said you loved me and I believed you
Seems like you don't even mean what you say.
Rivers of tear drops,
This short pains in my heart
This was the way that you loved
You never should have loved me
You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have, never should have
Told me you loved me and you would never leave me.
'Cause everything that you would do
It made me fall in love with you
Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to
You were all that I wanted
I fell in love with you 'cause you loved me and I thought that you were ready
I thought that we were gonna be a family
And if you weren't then you should have let me
Keep all my love to give
To someone else
You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have never should have
Told me you loved me and you would never leave me.
'Cause everything that you would do
It made me fall in love with you
Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to
Until you left and you made that mistake now I can't take you back if I wanted to
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

Mmyyy sssoonnggg🔥🔥🔥.

I feel like she was singing about her relationship with Nelly...
Yeah, she expected family with him, maybe she waited longer..
This girl can sang.point blank period.
Who is listening in 2021
Still here in 2021 because love isn’t the same
Yessss 2021.
My country (USA) doesn't appreciate her talent at ALL. it's so unfair because she's amazing and has as much talent as any other female R&B charted artist
Song so many slept on, too bad for them..

This song gives me flashbacks lol this is a beautiful song tho she really sung her heart out to her fans especially nelly ass
Nelly broke her heart 🤧😖💔
They're about to separate in this year.. 2014 he was with Miss Jackson already... I think she really loves Nelly😭 and hoping for, marriage, babies, family with him. But wr cannot always get what we wanted..
Oh my god! Ashanti has improved a lot vocally. She sounds good!
my favorite crying song
Now it's mine too 😩
I seriously LOVE this song... everything about it. The lyrics, her sound, the beat, etc. Way to go Ashanti!
Who’s is still listening after her an Nelly got back together I love this song in 2024❤❤
its crazy how this song has me in complete tears right now. I'm so happy you came back ashanti, you were missed !
This whole album was the shit even though its so underrated, I still bump Ashanti on the regular 💃
💜🙌🏽
this song is her. brought tears to my eyes
Thank god I have I heart radio I just randomly heard this song for 5 seconds and I enjoyed it. I hope a big company picks her up because she's very underrated.
i like u
I heard it on I Heart Radio too and now I'm obsessed
Riiight!??!
she used to be pretty popular when she was with Murda Inc. then idK what she did...
She left Murda Inc. It all started in 07. Irv, didn't want to help her record her album. Which kind of ticked Nelly off, because he was the one to help Ashanti not her own record label. It all goes back to Ashanti spending so much time with Nelly. Which is understandable since they were together. Irv didn't like that, he thought Ashanti was being disloyal. So Ashanti wanted to be released in 2008. Irv didn't do that until 2009.
Absolutely a beautiful song. Repeat worthy too. Ashanti never disappoints. Still listening to this in 2022
When this song was released I was going through a breakup. I remember everyday after work crying in the shower with this song on repeat
To me as her fan no matter what she is always the pretty princess in or from the MURDER INC period...!!!
I never knew this was Ashanti singing this. Wow such beautiful song.
Where were you hearing it?
I can't take you back if I wanted to..
This song says everything. Why can't I just let him go :(
The song is so underrated…..this new generation letting good RnB songs fading out cause they don’t wanna hear good quality music smh and that’s why this song didn’t went far cause it’s really good, but people rather listen to gibberish now
