18 January 2008 // 12:43 AM
"Can't Hold Us Down" was the fourth single released from Christina Aguilera's second mainstream album "Stripped." Released in the summer of 2003, the single peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her tenth Top 20 hit in the US. Internationally, the song peaked within the Top 10 in the UK, Ireland and Australia and several other countries, and reached #2 in New Zealand. In 2004, it was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.
Originally, Eve was booked to be the guest rapper on this song. The rapper-actress even commented about it on MTV news saying that she had collaborated with Christina on a female-empowering anthem for her upcoming album. However, as the release date of the album approached, Lil' Kim was revealed to be the actual guest on the record without any explanation of what happened to Eve. Many speculate that Kim might have forced her away upon the record. At the time she was dating Scott Storch and might have had a slight rivalry against Eve, and therefore asked Storch to replace Eve with herself on the record.
