Shanice performed "It's for You" on the Family Matters episode "Rock Enroll", which originally aired January 7, 1994.
Critical reception
[edit ]Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "places Shanice's crystalline voice inside a romantic pop/R&B shuffle tune." He added, "Complemented by Brett Bouldin's understated rap, singer strikes a more mature and soulful stance than on recent efforts. Tightly woven background harmonies create a soothing and dreamy mood. Top 40 and urban radio programmers have already begun to embrace this sparkling jewel of a single. A summery delight."[2]
