What it is

"Doo Wop (That Thing)" is the 1998 lead single from Lauryn Hill's debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which Hill wrote and produced. The song is a warning to young women and men about relationships: one verse criticizes women who hide their softer side behind a tough image, and another criticizes men who care more about material status than about their partners.
