    "Don't Take It Personal (Just One Of Dem Days)"

    Her debut single was a clear indicator that she was going to be a star! "Don't Take It Personal" was an anthem for the ladies who just didn't want to be bothered.

    "With You"

    This is definitely my favorite song from Monica. Perfect for dropping the top or rolling down the windows and riding around the city just "kicking it" with that special someone.

    "Why I Love You So Much"

    "Why I Love You So Much" is such an underrated song in terms of "love songs". Its simple and to the point, at a time in the mid-90's where R&B had strong competition from the likes other younger upstarts like Usher and Brandy, Monica held her own with a song that still resonates today.
