Here I Am (Monica song)

"Here I Am" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Monica. It served as the title track and lead single from her fourth studio album, The Makings of Me (2006). Written by Tank, Bryan Michael Cox, and Jason Perry, and produced by Cox, the song is a mid-tempo R&B ballad about a woman declaring her availability and readiness for a romantic relationship.

Released as a single in June 2006, "Here I Am" reached number 74 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 19 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. While not a major commercial success compared to some of Monica's earlier hits, it remains a recognizable track from her discography, representing a shift towards a more mature and introspective sound in her music. The song's lyrical content and Monica's vocal performance contribute to its theme of self-assurance and romantic vulnerability.
