Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". "Be Faithful" is a song performed by American hip hop artist Fatman Scoop, featuring and produced by American hip hop duo the Crooklyn Clan. The song was released in March 1999, becoming a minor hit in the United States. A second release in October 2003 gained the song wider international success. "Be Faithful" topped the charts in the UK and Ireland in 2003, and peaked within the top 10 of the charts in Australia and Denmark. The song was featured in the trailer for the film The Best Man and later in the 2001 film Save the Last Dance.

Background

The song heavily samples "Love Like This" by Faith Evans, which in turn is made of a covered loop from Chic's "Chic Cheer". It also samples "Party Ain't a Party" by Queen Pen, "Off the Books" by the Beatnuts, "Can I Get A..." by Jay-Z, "Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty by Nature and "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" by Black Sheep.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Music video

The video, wherein most characters have oversized heads, no bodies, and free-floating hands & feet, sees Scoop driving, walking, and singing throughout New York City. Scoop climbs a building carrying a woman with police officers flying planes in pursuit, a nod to King Kong.

Legacy

Nearly 20 years after its release, the song re-gained attention in 2018 after Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison posted a tweet, containing footage of Parliament set to an excerpt of the song. It was criticised for its inappropriate lyrics and potential breach of laws on the use of Parliamentary footage.[1]

After Fatman Scoop died on August 30, 2024, the song acquired more attention. The single debuted at number 49 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart.[2]
