Fatboy Slim was involved with a very successful UK version with his band Beats International, who took the song to number one as " Dub Be Good to Me", which features a backing track consisting mainly of a sample of The Clash classic " The Guns of Brixton". The song was also sampled by rapper Silkk the Shocker for his 1998 single " Just Be Straight with Me", which also features Destiny's Child. Tupac also sampled the track during the making of his 1995 album, Me Against the World, for track number 7, "Heavy in the Game" Ft.
In 2011, the song was performed by Simone Battle on series one of The X Factor (US). Cher Lloyd performed it on series seven of The X Factor.
In 2008, Australian artist Seany B released a version of this song, but called it "B Good 2 Me". The song has subsequently been covered by several artists, including Deborah Cox (whose version reached number eight on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart), Mariah Carey (who performed it live on her 1993 Music Box Tour and 1996 Daydream Tour), Shayne Ward (who recorded it for his 2007 album, Breathless), and Faithless in 2008 in a collaboration with Dido. Amy Hanson of AllMusic described the song as "showstopping". Critical reception ĭaryl Easlea of Record Collector called "Just Be Good to Me" a "barnstorming electro-soul anthem". The song's percussion and beats were produced using a Roland TR-808 drum machine.
