"Foolish" is still one of Ashanti's most popular songs, and the singer has performed it on several occasions, including at the 2003 Grammy Awards ceremony.

In 2002, Ashanti released her debut album and the song was a huge success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was so popular that it was featured in the movie Coach Carter.

Written By Ashanti, Irv Gotti, & Cory Rooney

The lyrics to the song "Foolish" by Ashanti are about a woman who is in a relationship with a man who is unfaithful and does not appreciate her. The song is about how the woman has been hurt by the man's actions and how she is tired of being treated poorly. She tells him that she is going to leave him and that he will regret ever treating her badly.

 
 

When Ashanti released her hit song "Foolish" in 2002, the accompanying music video was just as popular as the song itself. The video starred Terrance Howard as the bad boyfriend, and it was nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards. The video is set in a gritty inner-city neighborhood, and Howard's character is shown terrorizing Ashanti and her friends. At one point, he even pulls out a gun and threatens to kill them. However, Ashanti ultimately prevails over her abusive partner, and the video ends with her triumphantly walking away from him. The song and video helped to establish Ashanti as a powerful figure in the music industry, and they remain some of her most popular works to date.
