Nelly's "Ride wit Me" goes back to 1999, when it was one of four demos he was shopping around to record labels, and every one of those four ended up a single from his 2000 debut, Country Grammar. This was the third of them, out in 2001 with City Spud riding shotgun as the featured guest.
Nelly wrote it with Jason "Jay E" Epperson, and it interpolates DeBarge's 1982 song "I Like It", which is why William DeBarge, Etterline Jordan and El DeBarge share the writing credit. The result is a sunny, sing-along cruise of a record, and it took Nelly higher on the Hot 100 than he had ever been, all the way to three, while cracking the top 10 in the UK, Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands and Norway.
