Addictive

Truth Hurts recorded 'Addictive' with producer DJ Quik, who built the track around a sample of the Indian film song 'Thoda Resham Lagta Hai' from the 1981 Bollywood film Jyoti, with Dr. Dre executive-producing the Aftermath Entertainment release. Released in 2002 on Aftermath/Interscope Records, 'Addictive' reached number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most distinctive R&B crossover singles of the year, its Indian musical sample breaking new ground in mainstream American pop and R&B at a moment when genre boundaries were being actively renegotiated. The track is frequently cited as a pivotal early example of the incorporation of South Asian musical elements into mainstream American R&B and hip-hop, and it contributed to a broader cultural conversation about the global reach of Bollywood music, though the sample's use also generated a significant copyright dispute that drew attention to issues of attribution in Indian film music.
