June 11, 2025
Fred Shuster of The Los Angeles Daily News in his 1995 review of the HIStory album called the songs “Money”, “D.S.” and “This Time Around, “superb slices of organic funk that will fill many of the summer’s busiest dancefloors”. “This Time Around” features the legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G. and this track’s hip-hop edge is still sharp. It was issued as a promotional single in December 1995, with remixes, on CD and a 2-disc vinyl 12”, which pushed it into the top 20 of the Billboard Dance/Club chart in early 1996.
