"It's for You" is a song by American singer and songwriter Shanice, produced by Eric Kirkland and Michael Angelo Saulsberry of Portrait with drum programming by Maurice Thompson. It features a rap verse from Brett Bouldin[1] and was released in July 1993 by Motown Records from the soundtrack of the 1993 film The Meteor Man. The song became another moderate hit for the singer and a music video was also filmed. Shanice performed "It's for You" on the Family Matters episode "Rock Enroll", which originally aired January 7, 1994.
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "places Shanice's crystalline voice inside a romantic pop/R&B shuffle tune." He added, "Complemented by Brett Bouldin's understated rap, singer strikes a more mature and soulful stance than on recent efforts. Tightly woven background harmonies create a soothing and dreamy mood. Top 40 and urban radio programmers have already begun to embrace this sparkling jewel of a single. A summery delight."[2]
