Throwback Times Nigeria present this fantastically arranged track "U Should've Known Better" by American multitalented recording artist Monica. The song was written in joint effort with Harold Lilly and Jermaine Dupri, produced by the latter with frequent co-producer Bryan Michael Cox for her original third studio album, All Eyez on Me (2002). 

In a heartbreaking tale, "U Should've Known Better" showcases Monica's dedication to her imprisoned lover. The song's slow jam rhythm, influenced by R&B, soul, and rock, provides a backdrop for the story's message of loyalty, commitment, and resilience.

A powerful blend of screeching guitars, a pulsating backbeat, and an understated harp pattern creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, while Monica's vocals deliver a plea for her love interest to believe in her unwavering devotion. This emotional piece encapsulates the tragedy of separation, showing the strength of love even in the darkest of circumstances.
