"Ride for You"
Song

"Ride for You" is an R&B ballad written by Bryan Michael Cox, Kendrick "Wyldcard" Dean, and Adonis Stropshire for Danity Kane's debut album Danity Kane (2006). Co-produced by Cox and Wyldcard, it was released as the album's second single in fall 2006 (see 2006 in music). The song has peaked at number 78 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Release

"Ride for You" was shown on a Making The Band 3 episode. It was shown that Aubrey had trouble during the recording process. The week that the album was released, "Ride for You" made it onto the charts from downloads at #78. "Ride for You" was chosen at the second single through fan voting polls. The single has not had the success that their previous single "Show Stopper" had. However this could be due to the lack of promotion the girl's did for "Ride for You" as they only did one TV show appearance on The Tyra Banks Show and also on the AOL Sessions along with other tracks. Also the girls went on to support Christina Aguilera on her Back To Basics Tour two months after the release, while they could have used the time rehearsing, being on tour etc to promote the single and album.

Music video

The music video for "Ride for You" was directed by Marcus Raboy, and was filmed in various locations throughout Los Angeles, California on November 3, 2006. The edited video debuted on Total Request Live on December 5, 2006.

Thematically, the video deals with the four seasons. It begins with Aundrea Fimbres leaving her home in a summer vignette. After singing her verse, Fimbres enters fall and joins Aubrey O'Day for a walk through the chorus. During Dawn Richard's verse, Fimbres and O'Day leave fall behind and join Richard under an umbrella on a late fall/early winter city street. The three of them then enter winter where they find Shannon Bex and D. Woods. The five of them sing the chorus and enter spring right as D. Wood's verse starts. At the end of the video, when D. Woods does her ad-libing, the five women of Danity Kane meet up with their men and the video ends with beauty shots of each of the girls. The video has peaked at #5 on TRL which is a little lower than their past video Show Stopper, which peaked at #2.
