“IT WASN’T ME” by SHAGGY
As we continue to celebrate BLACK HISTORY MONTH, today’s song choice is a reggae infused pop track that was recorded by Jamaican-American artist, Shaggy. The lyrics within describe a man who was caught cheating by his girlfriend. Despite being caught on camera (and in various compromising situations), his friend, Shaggy, keeps advising him to deny everything, including the evidence.
Regarded as Shaggy’s breakthrough in the pop market, this song topped the charts in Ireland, Poland, France, Australia, and the U.K. (to name just a few countries).
On this very day, February 16th 2001, it was also the #1 song in America, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. If you’d like to have a listen, please feel free to use the provided link. As Black History month hits its 16th day, here’s SHAGGY (featuring Rik Rok) with “IT WASN’T ME”…
