About Like Glue

"Like Glue" is a song recorded by Jamaican dancehall artist Sean Paul, from his second album Dutty Rock (2002). The song was produced by Tony "CD" Kelly, and written by Kelly and Sean Paul. Lyrics from "Like Glue" were originally the intro to "Gimme the Light" until Sean Paul expanded it and made it into a full song. Lyrically, the song refers to how Sean Paul doesn't care what people say and that he has to stick to his girlfriends "like glue". Following the successful chart performances of "Gimme the Light" and "Get Busy", "Like Glue" was released worldwide on 1 July 2003 as the album's third single. It was distributed through K-Licious Music in Jamaica and through VP and Atlantic Records internationally. The single peaked at #13 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 and achieved success worldwide, becoming a top ten hit in Switzerland, UK, Canada and Ireland. The song was listed as the 325th best song of the 2000s by Pitchfork Media. The single's accompanying music video was directed by Benny Boom. The video earned Paul a "Best International Artist Video" award at the 2003 MuchMusic Video Awards.
