Actually, you can find repetition in just about every culture's various forms of music all over the world. It is just that PRESENTLY Black American (aka African-American) music is the most globally popular form. Check any form of old music whether from European, African, Asian and other various native peoples all over world, and you will see the same thing.

@compressedlife Thanks for taking the time to write your comment. African-American (Aka Black) music is popular due to our expression for the present... the here and now. The basics are the same for all native peoples... we African-Americans just understand how to turn our art form into a profit.

this song is so annoying. super repetative.

@annabellemee Thanks for your comment. In African-American music there is a subculture that dances to a section of the song that is repeated... you may know of it as Hip Hop. Normally enjoyed by adults in a club setting. It will annoy many who don't understand the groove. Street music for those of us who work... everyday and night. And when you work everyday and night... then you will understand the repetition.

Does this remix exist in MP3 form it is so good its a great way to promote Crystal Kay's music. It has such a nice R&B feel to it. I swear if she did an ultimate collection the remixes this jam should be the "Everyday" Remix.
