While the original version of "In My Bed" was a slow-burn tale of infidelity produced by Daryl Simmons, the So So Def Remix completely reimagined the track's DNA.

The result was a bouncy, bass-heavy rhythm that prioritized danceability without sacrificing the emotional weight of the lyrics. Collaborative Impact Dru Hill - In My Bed (So So Def Remix)
