Diggin’ on You
TLC
“Diggin' On You” was the fourth single from TLC’s multi-platinum album CrazySexyCool, written and produced by Babyface. The song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the Billboard R&B charts.
As with most of TLC’s songs, T-Boz sings lead for the bulk of the song, and Chilli takes the lead on the bridge. Left Eye isn’t featured on the song (her background vocals were often replaced with those of singer Debra Killings), but she lip syncs in the video. Being left out of TLC songs in this way was one of the reasons Left Eye decided to go solo.
The music video recreates a concert atmosphere and uses the L.A. Live Remix of the song. A horn fanfare at the beginning of the song was sampled into Jay Z’s “Hovi Baby” and took on a life of its own from there.
