At the height of the Spice Girls' success, Brown was invited to work with Missy Elliott on the single I Want You Back, a song for the soundtrack of the film Why Do Fools Fall in Love. It was recorded in just one afternoon, due to Brown's busy Spice Girls schedule. Upon its British release in September 1998, I Want You Back sold 80,000 copies in its first week alone, giving Brown her first and only solo number 1 in the UK. She's since better known for her relationship with comedian Eddie Murphy.
