"Into You" is the third single from American rapper Fabolous's second studio album, Street Dreams (2003), featuring either Ashanti or Tamia. The song also appears on Tamia's album More. "Into You" originally featured Ashanti, but after Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. Records refused to let her film a music video to promote the single, Fabolous reached out to Tamia to re-record a commercial version. Both the album and single versions received heavy radio-play, resulting in all three artists being credited on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single was released through Elektra Records and DJ Clue's Desert Storm Records.

Based on Tamia's 1998 single "So Into You", which samples the Commodores' song "Say Yeah", "Into You" reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the second single from the album to reach the top 10, after "Can't Let You Go". The song stayed on the Hot 100 throughout 2003, finishing at number 23 on the chart's year-end edition. The single also reached number four in Australia and entered the top 40 in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Music video

The music video for the single is 4 minutes and 20 seconds long and was originally supposed to have Ashanti in it, but because Irv Gotti refused to allow Ashanti to shoot the video, Fabolous and his record label chose to create a new version with Tamia for the video release. The video was shot primarily on a beach. K. D. Aubert appears throughout the video as Fabolous's love interest.
