"On My Knees" is the debut single by British R&B girl group the 411, released on 5 May 2004 and featured on their first album, Between the Sheets. In the UK Singles Chart, it reached number four and spent a total of ten weeks in the UK Top 75. It features guest vocals by American rapper Ghostface Killah, who included "On My Knees" on his album.
It also charted in nine other countries in Europe and Australia, most successfully in Ireland where it was a top 20 hit.
The song samples "Ain't My Style" by the Main Ingredient.
Background
Band member Suzie Furlonger said: "It's basically about a girl who's in a relationship with someone that she knew was wrong for her at the time but allowed it anyway. He doesn't treat her well. It's her turning round to him and saying "that's it! I don't have to put up with this anymore". It's not a man-hating song - just a "don't put up with being treated badly" song." Bandmate Tisha Martin added, "Yeah, don't get us wrong - a lot of people think that we're men bashing but were not - we do like the guys!"[1]
