I'll Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)

Lumidee cut the song in New York with DJ Tedsmooth after working over the Diwali riddim, and the original version was later reworked for a major-label release. The credited production team on the single centers on DJ Tedsmooth, with Trendsetta handling engineering and mixing duties. Released in 2003 as Lumidee’s debut single, the track broke through from an independent New York club record into a mainstream summer hit. It reached the upper tier of the U.S. and U.K. pop charts and established Lumidee as a new voice in early-2000s R&B/pop. Its hook and Diwali-riddim framework remained widely recognized long after release, making the record a recurring reference point for later pop and dancehall-influenced songs. In the 2020s, artists continued to sample or echo its signature chant, keeping the track in circulation.
