"Long Way 2 Go" is a song by American recording artist Cassie from her debut studio album, Cassie (2006). It was co-written by Cassie herself alongside the song's producer, Ryan Leslie. The song was released as the second and final single from the album by Bad Boy Records on September 22, 2006. Musically, "Long Way 2 Go" is an upbeat hip hop song which contains prominent R&B characteristics with a laid-back and imperious theme. Lyrically, it discusses brushing off a would-be suitor like dirt off one's shoulder. Additional vocals are provided by Leslie, who provides a call-and-response dichotomy with Cassie.

"Long Way 2 Go" received positive reviews from contemporary critics who deemed it a stand-out on the album. It was also praised for its cool and playful nature. The single became Cassie's second consecutive top twenty hit in Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It also garnered further chart success in Australia, France and Sweden where it peaked within the top thirty. On the Billboard Hot 100, the single reached a peak of ninety-seven only, due to limited radio play.

The music video accompanying "Long Way 2 Go" was directed by Erik White. It premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on September 12, 2006. The video has a social networking theme to it and features Ryan Leslie playing the role of Cassie's would-be lover. Cassie performed the song on French TV show Hit Machine (2007) and has regularly included it in the setlist of her live shows.

Background and composition

Cassie was spotted frequently in late 2002 at clubs and parties by music producer Ryan Leslie. [4] [5] The two worked together and wrote a duet called "Kiss Me", and after recording the track, Leslie played the song for music executive Tommy Mottola. [4] [5] After hearing "Kiss Me" Mottola offered Cassie a management deal, and Leslie also signed her to NextSelection Lifestyle Group, his music-media company he founded with online marketing partner Rasheed Richmond. [6] [7] Leslie wrote and produced Cassie's first single, "Me & U", in 2005. The song became a successful club song in Germany. [8] During this time, Diddy heard "Me & U", and Leslie convinced him to partner his Bad Boy Records with Leslie's NextSelection imprint for the release of Cassie's debut album. [8] In different fashion to previous single "Me & U", Cassie raps on "Long Way 2 Go". Speaking to MTV News, she explained what the song was about: "The song is about a guy who's trying to get with me but he's got a long way to go." [9]

The song is performed in the key of C minor [ citation needed ] with a tempo of 105 beats per minute. [10]

Critical reception

Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine positively reviewed "Long Way 2 Go", deeming it a "sassy smash-in-the-make that should prove popular with fans of Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous'." Cinquemani went on to praise Cassie's rapping in the song's verses, saying: "Cassie raps the verses in a nonchalant, dispassionate tone, as if she's dismissing the advances of a poor boy while simultaneously blowing on freshly painted fingernails". The Slant Magazine reviewer mentioned the lines "I love it when they try to get intimate/Even though they know I really ain't into it" as a highlight. [11] AllMusic's Andy Kellman said that "the snapping and swirling 'Long Way 2 Go' is just as irresistible in its flippant playfulness [as 'Me & U']." Kellman elaborated: "Cassie scolds a hopeless suitor with such cutting nonchalance -- she's basically swatting a fly-- that you can see her delivering the lines by cellphone as she eyes a display of designer shoes." [12] Doriah Lynskey from Blender said that "Long Way 2 Go" is as coolly imperious as "Me & U". Lynskey positively described its lyrical conception saying that in the song Cassie is "brushing away a would-be lover like dirt off her shoulder." [13] While Daily Mirror reviewed the track saying it shows that Cassie is no one-trick pony, further describing the song as "blending cute and clever mating rituals". [14]

[19]
