"
Pullin' Me Back" is the first single from
Chingy's third album
Hoodstar (2006). The song features
Tyrese with production by
Jermaine Dupri. The background beat is sampled off
Jaco Pastorius's "
Portrait of Tracy", which was also sampled in
SWV's hit single Rain. The sample is actually played on a synthesiser, not a bass guitar. The video was retired on
106 & Park after being on the countdown for 65 days. The song peaked at #9 on the
Billboard Hot 100, making it his fourth top ten single. It peaked at #1 on the R&B chart, where it was his first #1 single. It was #3 on BET's Top 100 Songs of 2006.
The music video features America's Next Top Model runner-up Yaya Da Costa of cycle 3.
