Can We

"Can We" is a song by American singer Chanel Thomas. It featured guest vocals by Missy Elliott and production by Timbaland and Elliott. The song was eventually included on Chanel's debut album, The Pain. The Love. The Tears (1997), but was originally a hit earlier in the year when it was included on the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Booty Call. "Can We" was a huge hit that received major airplay on Urban radio stations in the US, but it was not commercially available for the public to purchase as a cassette or CD single in America. Despite topping the Hot 100 chart, its modest overall chart performance was due to its limited availability as a 12-inch vinyl single, which was no longer a popular format with the music buying public at the time.

At the time of its release, Billboard prevented album cuts from entering any Singles charts; however, because of its attachment to the Booty Call soundtrack, "Can We" was able to chart on Billboard Hot 100, where it debuted at number one and stayed for four weeks.

Outside the United States the song reached #1 on the New Zealand Singles Chart and peaked at #1 on the UK Singles Chart. "Can We" is Chanel's second international number one hit, following the release of the promotional single "Here For You"
