I Need a Girl (Part One)

"I Need a Girl (Part One)" is a single by American rapper P. Diddy with the collaboration of Usher and Loon from the album We Invented the Remix. In 2004, the song was featured on the Bad Boys compilation R&B Hits. Along with "I Need a Girl (Part Two)", P. Diddy achieved a rare occurrence by having two parts of a song become chart hits. Part one peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 (behind Ashanti's "Foolish") and number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart. It also charted on the UK Singles Chart at number four. The song was ranked number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 year-end chart in 2002.[1][2] The song contains a remake of an instrumental sample from "Count It All Joy" by gospel artists The Winans, which loops throughout the song.
