Chris Brown took fans on a major nostalgia trip after he performed a song with former collaborator Jordin Sparks during the last show of his most recent tour; what song did they duet?
According to That Grape Juice, the 33-year-old singer has been traveling over the past few months for the North American leg of "One of Them Ones" tour.
To close and celebrate the success of his shows, Brown invited Sparks to join him on stage as a surprise to sing their iconic song "No Air" after more than a decade of not performing the track.
Sparks shared a fan-shot video on her official Instagram account, revealing that they haven't performed the song in over 15 years.
In the short clip, the songstress can be seen singing her part as the crowd sings with her.
"Thank you Chris for having me at the final stop of your 'One of Them Ones' tour, ended it with a bang in Vegas!!!" she captioned the post.
She added that the audience was "lit" as she heard them scream every word of the song.
Chris Brown, Jordin Sparks' 'No Air' History
According to Billboard, the song was originally meant for a solo male singer, but when Jordin Sparks heard the track, she got drawn into it and wanted the song to be recorded by her.
Written by Steven Russell, James Fauntleroy II, Damon Thomas, Erik "Blu2th" Griggs, and Harvey Mason Jr. one of the writers then agreed for Sparks to take the song on one condition, she would have to duet it with another artist, leading Mason to suggest Chris Brown.
"No Air" later amassed massive success as it was able to snag a "Choice Hook-Up" award at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards.
The pair's song also got nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the Grammy Awards, Outstanding Duo at the NAACP Image Awards, MTV Australia Awards AND MANY MORE.
At the time of its release, the song didn't have a successful beginning on the Billboard Hot 100 charts as it only peaked at number 95 on the week of January 19, 2008.
However, as the weeks go by, it managed to climb all the way to the top three, making it Sparks' highest-charting song from her music catalog. It also peaked at number four on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
