Released on March 30, 2000, "What'chu Like" eventually reached No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 12, 2000, becoming her sixth and final top 40 single. The song also reached No. 85 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 2000, becoming her third song to reach the Year-End charts after "Funkdafied" in 1994 and "Give It 2 You" in 1995.
