Put It on Me (Ja Rule song)

"Put It on Me" is a song from Ja Rule's second album, Rule 3:36. The song also appeared on The Fast and The Furious soundtrack. The song features female Murder Inc. rapper Vita. The song was originally made with just Ja Rule and Vita, but then a remix version was made with vocals by Lil Mo on the chorus of the song. Ja Rule explained that the lyrics of the song were inspired by an argument he had with his wife to show how important she is to him. Vita's verse was written by Cadillac Tah.^[2] It peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Ja Rule's first top ten hit on the chart.
