"Cool It Now" is a 1984 hit single by R&B/Pop group New Edition, and is the first single from their eponymous second album, New Edition.
[edit] Overview
With the group now signed to MCA Records, "Cool It Now" (and album of which it came) was given more extensive and widespread promotion than any single from their previous album (which had been released through a smaller, independent label), and helped bring the group a bigger fan base. The song was the group's first top 10 pop single, peaking at #4 on the pop chart, and their second #1 R&B hit. Amongst fans, "Cool It Now" remains one of the most requested songs in the group's repertoire to this day.
The song is notable for a mid-section rap recited by lead singer Ralph Tresvant, which calls out the rest of the group: "Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike."
