"Stutter" is a song by American R&B singer Joe, from his third studio album My Name Is Joe (2000). The original version of the song was produced by Roy "Royalty" Hamilton and Teddy Riley and written by Roy "Royalty" Hamilton and Ernest E. Dixon.[1]

A remix by Allen "Allstar" Gordon Jr.[2] (marketed as the Double Take Remix due to its appearance in the 2001 film Double Take) features rapper Mystikal and was a number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in 2001. It was one of three singles to have sold over 500,000 copies in the US in 2001.[3]

## Composition

[edit]

The original version of "Stutter" is slower, more mellow and has no samples; however, the Double Take remix featuring Mystikal (with its faster tempo) samples both "Summer in the City" by Quincy Jones and "Passin' Me By" by The Pharcyde.

## Music video

[edit]

The song and video for "Stutter" refer to Joe's girlfriend, who comes home early in the morning while he wakes up and they discuss where she had been. She's "stuttering" because it seems she is lying to him about having an affair. Joe's close friend, portrayed by rapper Mystikal, follows and spies on her while she sleeps with another man in a motel, called the "Easy Rest-In", taping it on video. After she leaves, she and Mystikal are driving next to each other on the road, while they discuss the bad situation. Arriving home, Joe's girlfriend notes the video in their television, turning out it was her evil twin sister having that affair. Both the girlfriend and the twin sister were played by actress Natashia Williams.[4]

## Live performance

[edit]

On April 10, 2001, Joe and Mystikal performed the song live at the 7th Blockbuster Entertainment Awards.[5]
