Hands Up (TLC song)

Arista Records consulted several producers to remix the song for its single release, including Richard X, LaMarquis Jefferson, and Jermaine Dupri.

An accompanying music video, directed by Matthew Rolston and set at a sex club, features a cameo appearance by Countess Vaughn.

Chuck Taylor from Billboard found that the song lacked the qualities of previous hits such as "No Scrubs" or "Waterfalls with "its creeping, downtempo "Hernando's Hideaway" vibe."

There's a confrontation inside an ATL club, replete with swarming hoochies and a cheating man caught red-handed [...] When the song ends, we're still waiting for Lopes's piercing lines.

In the ladies-only lounge of the club, T-Boz and Chilli pass the time scanning half-naked men with UPC tattoos, while also watching them pose, giving massages and stripping for other visitors.

The music video for Hands Up" was filmed in Los Angeles . [ 5 ]
