Synopsis

Allure perform "Head Over Heels" in a series of polished urban and romantic settings, alternating between group close-ups, choreographed shots, and solo moments from the four singers. Nas appears for his guest verse, adding a hip-hop counterpoint to the group's R&B vocals. The video also includes a brief appearance by Mariah Carey, linking the clip to the newly launched Crave Records label and its connection to the young vocal group.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Head Over Heels" was Allure's debut single and was released in 1997 ahead of the group's self-titled debut album.
  • Mariah Carey co-wrote and co-produced the song. She also contributed background vocals, although she was not credited as a featured vocalist on the track.
  • Carey's brief appearance in the video helped promote Allure as one of the first major acts associated with her Crave Records label.
  • The song uses a sample from MC Shan's 1986 hip-hop classic "The Bridge," connecting Allure's contemporary R&B sound with New York rap history.
  • Nas' guest verse was central to the song's crossover design, combining the group's girl-group harmonies with a prominent rap feature.
  • The single reached No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and performed particularly well in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. 18 on the singles chart and No. 3 on the Hip Hop and R&B Singles Chart.

Lyrics

Boy I can't understand it
See I never really felt
Like I do when I'm around you baby
And I just can't explain it
But I'm feeling so high
And I just can't deny
It's on you

Tell me you want my love
Baby please don't deny
What you're feeling inside
Say you've been thinking of
Holding me, touching me, feeling my every need
