Humpin' Around Last updated May 06, 2025 Critical reception In 1995,James Hamilton from British magazine Music Week ' s RM Dance Update described the K-Klass remix as a "three years old hit totally revamped as a superb melodically whined Michael Jackson -ish strider". [ 2] Gina Morris from Smash Hits gave it three out of five,writing,"No worries,you can't go wrong with luminous feel-good pop and thumping breakbeats . Plus there's loads of funky remixes on the CD too,wheeling the whole thing in at over 30 minutes long. Bargain!" [ 3]
Music videos The music video for the song features Brown dancing outside with women in cages,with cut scenes of a girl trying to break in to his phone and personal belongings to find his mistress in NYC.
