Renee was the most popular hit by the Lost Boyz. The song peaked at #33 on the U.S. Hot 100 chart, and #13 on the R&B charts in 1996. The song samples the Janet Jackson song Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)," found on her Control album but never released as a single in the United States.
The song describes a young man who meets a woman while walking to the subway who becomes his girlfriend. The woman is studying to be a lawyer. The pair date for 6 weeks before she is shot to death. The moral of the song is "Ghetto love," describing the inevitable suffering of tragedy living in a slum.
