Samples

 * "Name and Number" was widely sampled in the chorus of "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)", a 1991 hit song by American hip hop group De La Soul. Jaheim's 2009 single "Ain't Leavin Without You" borrows a similar chorus. Little Mix's 2013 single "How Ya Doin?" is heavily based on it, with almost the same chorus and only changing the verses.
