Stutter (Joe song)

"Stutter" is a song by American R&B singer Joe, released as the lead single from his third studio album My Name Is Joe (2000). The original version of the song features production by Roy "Royalty" Hamilton.

The song is a mid-tempo R&B ballad centered around feelings of nervousness and speechlessness when encountering someone attractive, hence the titular "stutter." The lyrics describe the singer's inability to articulate his feelings, his heart racing, and his overall flustered state in the presence of the object of his affection.

Following its initial release, a remix of "Stutter" featuring rapper Mystikal was created and subsequently gained significantly more popularity, propelling the song to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. This remix featured a more uptempo, danceable beat and Mystikal's rap verses interspersed throughout the original vocals.

The success of "Stutter" marked a significant point in Joe's career, solidifying his position as a prominent R&B artist. It remains one of his most recognizable and commercially successful songs.
