"My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" is the lead single from Khia's debut album, Thug Misses (2002).

Background

Khia's version was originally called "Lick My Neck, My Back." The main premise of the song is about cunnilingus as well as anilingus and had to be heavily edited. While the original version of the song contained explicit lyrics, a mitigated edit was used for radio broadcasting and the video.

When released in the spring of 2002, it reached number forty-two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.^[1] It also reached the top five in the United Kingdom^[2] two years later and the top fifteen in Australia.^[3]

"My Neck, My Back" is featured on the Dark Angel soundtrack.^[4] The track is also featured in the film The Door in the Floor starring Jeff Bridges.

Music video

The video for the song, directed by Diane Martel, was released during the spring of 2002^[5] and shows Khia at a barbecue. In the UK, a different video was used, which did not feature Khia herself, but instead a group of bikini-clad models washing a Hummer H2 in a sexual manner while lip-syncing the words of the song.

Cultural references

Rapper Too Short recorded a response to the song entitled "My Dick, My Sack" from a man's point of view. Richard Cheese covered the song.^[6]
