ABOUT THE RECORD No Scrubs, is a song recorded TLC for their album FanMail. The lyrics posit that a man who does not have his own car is a "scrub" (also known as a "buster") and is undesirable as a romantic or sexual partner. LaFace Records and Arista Records released it as the album's lead single. The song was written by Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs alongside former Xscape members, Kandi Burruss and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. The single version containing a self-written rap by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was not included on the album FanMail, and later appeared in a slightly shorter edit on Now and Forever: The Hits and 20. No Scrubs was the first time Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas took the sole lead vocals on any TLC single. The album version of the song won Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal and Best R&B Song at 42nd Annual Grammy Awards. No Scrubs met with international success. It became TLC's third No. 1 single and eighth top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100. It also earned them their second Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year. No Scrubs is one of TLC's signature songs and was the second-biggest Hot 100 single of 1999 in the U.S., only behind Cher's Believe, according to Billboard's year-end charts. On the decade end chart for 1990–1999, No Scrubs was ranked at No. 33. The single was certified Platinum in the UK and Platinum in New Zealand. The song was initially written by Kandi Burruss on an old envelope while sitting in her car, in which she "freestyled the entire song while just driving down a highway: the verse, hook, pre-chorus, the whole thing." The song was initially meant for Burruss and Tameka Cottle to record together, however Dallas Austin decided to give the song to TLC. Austin further emphasized that the song was a breakthrough for Chilli, as he felt that "It was a great way to expose her; being a secondary vocalist was not just her purpose."
