"Full Moon" is a song recorded by American singer Brandy for her third studio album of the same title (2002). A breakaway from Rodney Jerkins' dominating influence on the album, it was written and produced by Mike City, one of the few producers Norwood worked with on Full Moon apart from Jerkins and his production and songwriting crew. Described by Norwood as "ghetto", the track is an R&B and pop song with a simple, piano-led production. Lyrically, the song follows Norwood as she experiences love at first sight in a nightclub, whose circumstances she attributes to a full moon night.

"Full Moon" was released as the second single from Full Moon on April 1, 2002, by Atlantic Records. The song was well-received by music critics, with many complimenting Norwood's voice as well as the bass-heavy production, calling it a standout track from the album. A moderate commercial success, it peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart.

The accompanying music video for "Full Moon", directed by Chris Robinson, features Norwood telescoping at night. As the video progresses, she attends a house party where she meets a man with whom she is eventually riding off through Los Angeles, watching the rising full moon. Norwood was nearly six months pregnant at the time of the filming. "Full Moon" was included on set lists of the Human World Tour (2009) and the Slayana World Tour (2016), and has been performed live by Norwood during several televised events.

Background and development

After the end of the promotional tour for her second studio album Never Say Never (1998), the cancellation of her UPN sitcom Moesha (1996–2001), and a flurry of tabloid headlines discussing her nervous breakdown in November 1999,[1] Norwood went on a lengthy hiatus to reflect and take some introspective looks.[2] In mid-2000, she started reconsecrating herself on her musical career, contributing songs to albums such as Urban Renewal (2001), which introduced a scratchy, evocative edge to Norwood's voice, now having a deeper and warmer tone with a textured lower register and notably stronger falsetto.[3]

In fall 2000, Norwood finally began conceiving ideas for a third studio album with her label Atlantic Records.[2] While Rodney Jerkins, the main producer of her previous album, and his team had been working on several new songs for her then-upcoming project in hopes of recreating the winning chemistry of Never Say Never,[4] Norwood wanted to make sure that she was gaining more creative control over the project, thus arranging meetings with all her writers and musicians to discuss the lyrical topics and sounds she wanted for the album.[2]

Writing and production

While Jerkins maintained his status as the executive producer of Full Moon, contributing most to its track listing with his team, Norwood decided to record with several producers for the album, including the head of Unsung Entertainment Mike City, with whom she had previously worked on the song "Open" for the soundtrack of the animated comedy film Osmosis Jones (2001). According to City, he wrote "Full Moon" in "two or three weeks, writing a line a day".[5]

Although Norwood and City crafted several more songs, they were insecure about "Full Moon" being included on the final track listing since it differentiated stylistically from what she had recorded before.[6] "I'm glad it did because it really showed where I was coming from musically and vocally [...] and I could relate to the lyrics of the song", Brandy said the following year in an interview with MTV News, adding: "It took him a while to understand my crazy ideas, but [...] he really challenged himself. If you listen to it, it's different from what he's already done in the past [...]".[7]

Music and lyrics

Norwood has characterized "Full Moon" as "ghetto", explaining that it is "pop and R&B at the same time [and] has a lot of elements to it". Lyrically, the song deals with the circumstances of an unexpected love at first sight. Norwood stated: "Anything can happen on a full moon. On that particular [song], I'm actually falling in love with somebody I'm just meeting", adding: "I hope that's the second single, because it's different. I've never heard anything like it."[7]

Release

Rappers Fat Joe (left) and Twista appeared on individual remixes of the song, which were both produced by Glen Marchese.[8]

"Full Moon" was released as the second single from Full Moon by Atlantic Records. It was added to rhythmic contemporary and urban radio stations in the United States on April 1, 2002.[9] The song was released as a CD single–including "Die Without You", a cover version of P.M. Dawn's 1992 single "I'd Die Without You", featuring Norwood's younger brother Ray J, and remixes of "What About Us?"–as well as 12-inch and limited maxi CD singles.[10] In addition, "Full Moon" was remixed by several producers and DJs. Rappers Fat Joe and Twista both appeared on separate versions of the Precision Remix, which was crafted by Glen Marchese.[11] Danish production duo Cutfather & Joe produced a remix laying Brandy's vocals over the electro–funk song "I.O.U." (1983) by British band Freeez, while Gorillaz' collaborator Soulchild utilized American singer Michael Wycoff's "Lookin' Up to You".[8] Producer Damien Mendis reworked the song entirely around the basis of the disco song "I Want Your Love" (1979) by Chic.[10]

Critical reception

Upon its release, "Full Moon" garnered widespread critical acclaim. Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine felt that Norwood afforded "the tired love at first sight genre new life" on the song. He complimented it for its "hypnotic oscillating bassline and a chorus catchy enough to make the track the next summer anthem".[12] Chuck Taylor of Billboard noted that the song portrayed "how a few years off have allowed [Norwood] to evolve and grow" and called it "another hit destined for the R&B and pop saturation".[13] He found that "the best part of the song is in the verses, which Brandy delivers with a rich, bassy sensuality" while he declared the chorus as "sing-songy and on the repetitious side, but multiple layers of creamy harmonies help it rise above the mundane".[13] Music Week called the song "a perfect slice of R&B-lite with a fine hook line".[14] They also felt that it should emulate the chart success of "What About Us?", and help "refocus interest on the album, as well as scoring in its own right".[14] J. Victoria Sanders from PopMatters called the record "a club-ready song, with a lulling drumbeat and heavy bass". She further added that "her voice on this song, like many of the others, is slightly computerized without sounding overdone".[15] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine ranked the song among his favorites from Full Moon alongside "What About Us?" and "He Is".[16]

Commercial performance

For the week ending May 4, 2002, "Full Moon" entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 68, becoming Norwood's 13th entry on the chart.[17] The song peaked at number 18 after ten weeks on the chart, on the issue dated July 6, 2002, becoming Norwood's second single from Full Moon to enter the top 20.[18] "Full Moon" fared slightly better on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, where it debuted at number 38 the week ending April 15, 2002, becoming the highest debut on the chart that year.[19] Norwood's 12th top-20 entry, it eventually reached number 16 in the week of June 8, 2002.[20] In addition, the song reached number 11 on the Rhythmic chart, number 15 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and number 20 on the Mainstream Top 40.[21] The dance mixes reached number two on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales.[21] The final international single from Full Moon, "Full Moon" entered the top 40 in the Belgian region Wallonia, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and the United Kingdom, but failed to match the success of its predecessor "What About Us?".

Music video

The music video for "Full Moon" was filmed in various locations throughout Los Angeles.[22]

A music video for "Full Moon" was directed by Chris Robinson and filmed on various locations throughout Los Angeles, California on March 1–2, 2002.[23] Norwood, who was nearly six months pregnant at the time of the video shoot, does not dance in the video,[22] which features model and Moesha actor Yoki Brown as her male counterpart.[23] The final edit premiered on MTV's music video chart program Total Request Live on April 3, 2002, where it debuted at number ten and reached number one.[24][25] It stayed on the show for forty-three days.[24]

The video opens with Norwood stargazing through a telescope on her Los Angeles balcony at a full moon night. Through the instrument she turns her attention to someone's house party a few miles away, where she spots a longhaired male, portrayed by Brown, among the guests. She changes clothes and then rides through the hillside along the coast in her silver cabriolet. Once she has arrived, Norwood enters the shindig in hopes of meeting him. This serves as the catalyst for a distant flirt between her and Brown that continues as the song plays. During the bridge, he follows her back into the car. In the end, they stop by a viewpoint, watching the sinking full moon.[22]

Legacy

On March 25, 2020, Vibe named "Full Moon" Norwood's seventh best song.[26] The same year, Grant Rindner from Oprah Daily included it in his Brandy's 20 Best Songs listing and noted: "The hook is one of her most creative, with staccato vocal runs stacked atop harmonic swells."[27] In 2022, Spin magazine ranked the song 30th in its list of The 50 Best Songs of 2002.[28] In her commentary, editor Jaelani Turner-Williams wrote: "Equally grown up, "Full Moon" solidified Brandy as "the Vocal Bible," her deep tone fluttering and trilling over Mike City’s bouncy, piano-driven production."[28]

In 2023, In celebration of Black Music Month, R&B singer Coco Jones performed a special live rendition of "Full Moon" for Revolt's The Link Up.[29] In 2024, Rolling Stone ranked the song at number ten on their list of The 100 Greatest R&B Songs of the 21st Century, writing: "The trope of meeting in the club and locking eyes across the dance floor is R&B’s super glue, but Brandy fortifies it as she gets trapped in an orbit of lunar infatuation."[30]
