"Sure Thing" on YouTube |
"Sure Thing" is a song by American singer-songwriter Miguel. Produced by Happy Perez, the song is included on his debut album, All I Want Is You (2010). It was first posted onto YouTube in 2007, via Myspace.[1] It was sent to radio as the album's second single in January 2011. The R&B song features neo soul influences, and had been noted for its similarities to the work of singer Jon B.
It initially achieved moderate success on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 36, and number one on the US R&B chart. "Sure Thing" marked Miguel's first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and was his most successful single to date, until the release of "Adorn" (2012), spending over fifty weeks on the chart. As of July 2013, the song had sold 1,106,000 copies in the United States.[2]
Following resurgence in streaming due to its growing use on TikTok over ten years after its initial release, the song charted worldwide as a global sleeper hit, reaching new peaks or debuting in several countries, including the United Kingdom,[3] where it reached number four, becoming Miguel's first top-ten single in the region. Furthermore, the song was issued to US pop radio in February 2023 and also re-entered the Billboard Hot 100, eventually reaching a new peak of 11 and becoming his first number one on the US Pop Airplay chart.[4]
