Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Way You Move (feat. Sleepy Brown). By Songfacts®.

This song is driven by a big, saucy chorus supplied by the singer Sleepy Brown and the Hornz Unlimited horn section. Each chorus is just two repetitions of this stanza, with the horns answering after every line: I like the way you move I like the way you move I love the way you move I love the way, I love the way This section hits hard following the verses, where Big Boi packs in loads of lyrics over a sultry beat. His sections feature lots of clever wordplay as jumps off on different tangents, offering his thoughts on big girls, skinny girls and the 808s (Roland TR-808 drum machine) pumping bass.

This was produced by Carlton Mahone, also known as Carl-Mo, who had written and produced "My Boo" by the Ghost Town DJ's. He came up with the beat for "I Like The Way You Move" in 2000, which he presented to Big Boi. A few years went by before Big Boi put it to use, bringing Mahone and Sleepy Brown in to work on it. According to Mahone, Big Boi was playing the track at a cookout when he and Sleepy Brown came up with the hook. "At a cookout, everything's positive, everything's good," he told IdOMUSIC. "That's why they came up with a hook that had such a good feeling."

This song was part of Outkast's double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, which was really solo albums by the duo, with Big Boi responsible for Speakerboxxx and Andre 3000 for The Love Below. There were rumors that this signalled the end of Outkast, which Big Boi addressed in some of the opening lines of this track: Outkast is everlastin' Not clashin', not at all
