2 People (song)

"2 People" (sometimes written as "2People") is a song by British DJ Jean Jacques Smoothie, released in October 2001 by Plastic Raygun and Echo. A house song, it extensively samples vocals from Minnie Riperton's 1975 hit "Inside My Love". It was remixed by artists including Mirwais and Moloko.

The single became a surprise hit in the United Kingdom, spending six weeks as the most-played song on the country's radio and selling over 100,000 copies. It reached number 12 on the UK Singles chart, as well as charting in Scotland, Belgium, and Europe at large. Its success was partly attributed to the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, which prompted the removal of certain songs from radio playlists and led programmers to place "2 People" in rotation. The single, which is now considered a one-hit wonder, has been remixed by Smoothie and others, as well as being sampled and used in commercials.
