Cassia "Me & U"
In the music video, Cassie comes in at the dance studio with her MP3 which is playing part of the chorus to “Me & U” while improvising some lyrics that were not in the original song. She puts the song on and begins to dance and sing along, hurting herself while doing a spinning move, changing her different outfit and then being able to successfully complete the spinning move later on. The video is directed by Ray Kay.[7]
The video was inspired by Janet Jackson‘s “The Pleasure Principle” video, described as evoking Jackson’s “impromptu solo dance rehearsal” during the video’s mirror scenes.[2] Cassie stated “I’m a diehard Janet Jackson fan. A lot of people compare my video for “Me & U” to hers for “Pleasure Principle.” “I was just rehearsing in the studio, they filmed me and the record label thought it would be great for the video. I’d love to emulate her career. She’s incredible, from her moves to her voice.”[8]
