"Slow Down" is the debut single of American singer Bobby Valentino, released from his first self-titled album, Bobby Valentino, on February 14, 2005. Produced by Tim & Bob, the song spent four consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and has since been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Slow Down" also peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as number four in the United Kingdom. The music video was directed by Erik White.[1]

Release and reception

"Slow Down" was first serviced to US rhythmic contemporary and urban radio on February 14, 2005.[2] Prior to this, the song received enough early airplay on these formats to debut at number 63 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart in December 2004 and climb to number 54 two days prior to its release.[3][4] Afterwards, the song rose up the chart, reaching number one on May 7, 2005, and staying there for four weeks.[5] On the Billboard Hot 100, the song first charted in March 2005 and peaked at number eight on May 21, staying on the ranking for 22 weeks.[6] The single also appeared on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40 chart, where it also reached number eight.[7] It finished 2005 at number 47 on the Hot 100 year-end chart and at number six on the annual R&B listing.[8][9]

On June 20, 2005, "Slow Down" was released in the United Kingdom as a 12-inch single and a CD single.[10] Six days later, it debuted and peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Valentino's only top-20 single in the UK and spending 12 weeks in the top 100.[11] It went on to become the UK's 77th-best-selling hit of 2005.[10] Across Europe, the single entered the top 40 in Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland, placing at number 13 on the Eurochart Hot 100.[12][13][14] In Australia, a CD single was issued on July 4, 2005, but it did not appear within the ARIA Singles Chart top 100.[15] "Slow Down" has been certified gold by the RIAA and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[16][17]
