"My Place" is a song by American rapper Nelly featuring R&B singer Jaheim. It is the lead single from Nelly's fourth studio album, Suit (2004). The song is about Nelly inviting a girl over to his house, and the female backing vocals are provided by Kim Johnson. The track samples three songs: Labelle's " Isn't It a Shame", DeBarge's " I Like It", and Teddy Pendergrass's "Come Go with Me", [2] so the respective songwriters are given credits.
"My Place" was released on July 19, 2004, to American radio. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, the song was issued as a double A-side with " Flap Your Wings". Upon the single's release, it reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
The music video was directed by Benny Boom. The music video continues the last scene of the video " Flap Your Wings". Nelly's girlfriend (Tyeshia Robinson) and her friends catch Nelly up the hill with a girl and his girlfriend asks who she is. Nelly tries to explain but his girlfriend is too reluctant to listen and throws her chain at him. Nelly picks it up and takes it with him. Nelly tries to get in touch with his girlfriend by sending presents and texts but she declines his text and ignores his gift. Nelly tries to make things up with his girlfriend but she refuses and pushes him and goes back into her fashion boutique shop and throws his gift in the camera. Nelly continues rapping until the next scene when his ex-girlfriend is with her mates at a restaurant, imagining scenarios. She imagines her and her ex-boyfriend having sex. Nelly and his girlfriend are on a black screen thinking about each other and realizing how they have feelings for each other and how much they love each other. Nelly throws a photo frame containing a picture of him and his girlfriend inside it and his girlfriend appears to be crying. At a summer club, Nelly tracks down his girlfriend and they talk Nelly apologizes and puts the necklace she threw at him before back on her neck and they finally make up and embrace.
