This song was amazingly written by christina aguilera for the lead single from her 2002 effort Stripped which is one of y all time favoret cds. christina owns this song by useing her sassy lyrics with a remarkable voice. Redman put forth his talent as an added bonus as if Christina did not already smash the record on her own. Advice to some of you who like to party, though this is a pop song the beat is crazy and when ever its played in the clubs, everyone loves it and even at strip joints where ever i go this song is blasting. if your unsure about your dance skills this is a perfect song to do your thing to because the beat just moves your body. If you are debateing to buy this single, my advice would be to do so because this song is incredible! Even if you own Stripped already, the song "I Will Be" is a beautiful ballad and is a must for every Christina Fan! Buy It!
