3. “In My Bed”
This innovative track off of her debut album Frank talks about emotionless sex and all that comes in between. The infamous beat is from Nas‘s track “Made You Look.” Amy had Nas present in the studio to listen what she had done with his beat and the story of their frienship goes on from there.
