The music video contains a different version of the song. The video version of the song is considered as the " Definitive Version " to "How's It Going Down" which is not included in the album due to it already being released. The video version contains the same beat but with additional melodies added and Faith Evans singing throughout the chorus as well as the outro for the track, making the album version of the track sound like a Demo in comparison. |
