About Up In My Room

"Sittin' Up in My Room" is a song by American recording artist Brandy Norwood. It was written and produced by Babyface and recorded by Norwood for the soundtrack of the 1995 film Waiting to Exhale, starring Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett. The track was one out of five singles the album spawned and reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Norwood's most successful single on that particular chart up to that point. It is of note that the characteristic bass intro is a replica of the famous riff performed by bassist Larry Graham, of Sly and the Family Stone, on their hit "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)", and its remix featuring LL Cool J contains a sample of "Haven't You Heard" by Patrice Rushen. "Sittin' Up in My Room" was performed on several television and award show ceremonies, such as Late Show with David Letterman, the 23rd Annual American Music Awards, the 1996 Soul Train Awards, the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, and the 2015 Soul Train Music Awards. A music video was also filmed, depicting Brandy keeping herself penned up in a retro, brightly colored room after her friend tells her that her love interest is joining the party downstairs. Actor Donald Faison appears as her love interest in the video, directed by Hype Williams. It won the award for Best Song from a Movie and was nominated for Best Video from a Film at the 1996 MTV Awards. The song has since been performed on several awards shows and Norwood's concerts and tours, including the 1998 Never Say Never World Tour and the 2016 Slayana World Tour.

When I'm up in my room (and I'm thinking of you)
And I'm thinking of you (when I'm up in my room)
I'm just finding my way 
Through this sinister day 
Just let the music play

Emancipating my heart 
From Hollywood love 
Too many people got caught. 
Emancipating my mind from a system designed (yeah) 
To limit mankind 
But I leave that behind.

When I'm up in my room (and I'm thinking of you)
And I'm thinking of you (when I'm up in my room)
I'm just finding my way 
Through this sinister day 
Just let the music play

Let's build a house on the beach
Plant a family tree 
And live in harmony
Only in love we are free 
That's why I'm down on my knees (yeah) 
To make you my queen
My mind and heart are making peace
Didn't come here to please 
Nobody but Jah
Let my colours increase
Let us run to the east 
Let us look for the keys 
That can open the rooms 
Yo! Check out Patrice

'Cause when I'm up in my room (and I'm thinking of you)
And I'm thinking of you (when I'm up in my room)
I'm just finding my way 
Through this sinister day 
Just let the music play

When I'm up in my room (and I'm thinking of you)
And I'm thinking of you (when I'm up in my room)
The ground shakes under my feet 
Oh this feeling so sweet 
Won't you dance with me?

We all want love and happiness 
As long as there is heart within our chest, 
Believe in your self and love will do the rest 
We have to manifest. 
Some want to understand 
Some overstand
Some want to live some want to be lived by them
For all those that don't know what I'm saying 
Let me break it down again.

When I'm up in my room (and I'm thinking of you)
And I'm thinking of you (when I'm up in my room)
I'm just finding my way through this sinister day 
Just let the music play
Won't you dance with me?

When I'm up in my room (and I'm thinking of you)
And I'm thinking of you (when I'm up in my room)
The ground shakes under my feet 
Oh this feeling so sweet 
Won't you dance with me?
