Music Video and Live Performances
The accompanying music video for "You Make Me Wanna..." was directed by Bille Woodruff. It starts with Usher sitting it an orange wall recess, reaching for a guitar, before cutting to a scene of him standing in a white-and-purple circular room, wearing an open shirt. It moves to a blue backdrop where Usher advances, flanked by four dancers. The scene is replaced by five clones of Usher dancing around and sitting on chairs. The video continues with the singer performing dance routines throughout; interspersed are scenes of the Usher singing the song on a background of blue pipes. Toward the end of the video, he takes off his shirt in the circular room, and finally Usher and his backup dancers step out of their shoes and walk away.
Usher performed "You Make Me Wanna..." on December 31, 1997 on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, a countdown show to the 1998 New Year. He also sang it on sitcom Moesha while portraying his character, Jeremy Davis.

Famous quotes containing the words music, video, live and/or performances:
“The time was once, when thou unurged wouldst vow
That never words were music to thine ear,
That never object pleasing in thine eye,
That never touch well welcome to thy hand,
That never meat sweet-savored in thy taste,
Unless I spake, or looked, or touched, or carved to thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“So wise so young, they say, do never live long.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
