The song was released as the first single from Ashanti's "The Declaration" album in the UK and the second from Nelly's "Brass Knuckles".

ong information

The track was originally intended to be Ashanti's second single, from her album "The Declaration", but instead it became the second single from Nelly's album "Brass Knuckles". The track appears on both albums, and is going for adds at rhythm crossover and urban radio stations June 9th, 2008. [ [http://gfa.radioandrecords.com/publishGFA/GFANextPage.asp?sDate=06/09/2008&Format=9 ®R&R :: Going For Adds™ :: Rhythmic ] ] [ [http://gfa.radioandrecords.com/publishGFA/GFANextPage.asp?sDate=06/09/2008&Format=5 ®R&R :: Going For Adds™ :: Urban ] ] The song was released as a digital download June 10, 2008 [http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=282066008&s=143441] The Song was originally made for former B2K member Lil Fizz, A Version leaked in late in 2006, However Akon decided to take the song back once Lil Fizz was told he would not be releasing an album. It was then given to Nelly to use.There are three different versions of "Body on Me". Nelly has two versions, and Ashanti has one. In Nelly's first version of the song, only Ashanti's first verse is used, and Nelly does the second and third verses. That version is 3:57. On the second version of the song, Nelly's first two verses are used, and a different third verse by Ashanti is used. This is the album version.

On Ashanti's version, it's the opposite. She has two verses and only Nelly's first verse is used, and she adds ad-libs. Her version is shorter, at 3:20. Akon sings the chorus on both versions. The version that is being released is the Nelly version. The radio edit cuts the song by about 25 seconds, making the song 3:33. Thanks to high digital downloads, "Body on Me" charted at number 78 in the United States and number 57 in Canada but dropped off both charts the following week, due to attention being focused on Nelly's single "Stepped on My J'z". After a week in the top 100, body on me fell of the iTunes top 100 chart but a couple of days after the release of its video, the song quickly climbed back into the top 100.

"Body on Me" has become the album's biggest radio single to date. It is rising rapidly on urban radio, where its peak position so far is number 38. It is in the top 100 on pop radio, making it a crossover hit. It has a peak position of number of 14 on rythmic radio and has sold 300,000 downloads digitally.

Nelly, Ashanti, and Akon will be performing "Body On Me" live on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The show will air on Thursday, September 18th at 9AM
