Touch It (Monifah song)


"Touch It" is the lead single from Monifah's second album, Mo'hogany. The R&B/dance hybrid was produced and written by Jack Knight and Screwface, who used a sample of Laid Back's 1983 hit, "White Horse".
Released as a single in the summer of 1998, the song became a worldwide hit, charting within the top 20 in Australia, Belgium and Canada. In the United States it peaked at number nine on both the Billboard Hot 100 and on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. "Touch It" is Monifah's highest peak position on the US charts, though it did not receive a gold certification like her 1996 hit "You", and was her only single to appear on the Billboard year-end charts, reaching 77 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1998. The song's music video features Monifah performing the song in front of the United States armed forces.
