Same Script, Different Cast

"Same Script, Different Cast" is a duet performed by American singer Whitney Houston and Canadian singer Deborah Cox. Written by Shep Crawford, Shae Jones and Montell Jordan, it was produced by Crawford for Houston's first compilation album, Whitney: The Greatest Hits (2000). The harp-string and piano-driven song opens with a backing track incorporating Ludwig van Beethoven's "Für Elise" and unfolds as an exchange between two women involved with the same man, with Houston portraying his former lover, who warns Cox about his deceitful behavior, while Cox initially dismisses her claims. The song was released as a radio-only promoa single in the United States on May 2, 2000, by Arista Records, the first song to precede the compilation. "Same Script, Different Cast" was mostly well received, with critics praising its theatrical concept, vocal chemistry, and dramatic key changes. It became a moderate hit, peaking at number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, while reaching number four on the Dance Club Play chart. As it was issued only as a promotional single, no music video was produced.
