If you don’t already know, I am a big fan of Lego and recently finished watching Piece by Piece, the Lego biopic of Pharell Williams. This triggered my memory of this song from him. It was also surprising from the film the amount of tunes he produced as part of the Neptunes. Most of them were chart toppers when I was growing up.

N.E.R.D., an acronym for No-one Ever Really Dies, is a genre-defying American band formed in 1999 by Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley. Known for their eclectic blend of hip-hop, rock, and funk, the group has made a significant impact on the music industry with their innovative sound and boundary-pushing experimentation.

One of their most popular tracks, “She Wants to Move,” was released on February 9, 2004, as the lead single from their second studio album, “Fly or Die”. The song showcases N.E.R.D.’s signature fusion of hip-hop and dance-punk elements, featuring catchy lyrics and an infectious beat that propelled it to commercial success. “She Wants to Move” peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and reached the top 10 in several countries, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom. The music video, which features British singer and television personality Alesha Dixon, helped boost the song’s popularity and solidify N.E.R.D.’s reputation as innovative musicians.
