"Vivrant Thing" is the first single released by Q-Tip on his debut solo album Amplified.

It was produced by Q-Tip himself, and is credited as such in the liner notes of Violator: The Album, A Tribe Called Quest's compilation The Anthology, and the 12-inch vinyl/CD single.

[2][3][4][5] Jay Dee is only credited in the liner notes of Amplified, as they were considered a production duo solely for that album.

"Vivrant Thing" became the fourth rap song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot R&B Airplay chart since its 1992 inception.

The beat contains a sample of "I Wanna Stay" by the Love Unlimited Orchestra.
