Look at Us (Sarina Paris song)

Sarina Paris first came to attention in dance clubs with her 1995 single "Mystery Man", but mainstream success failed to follow. In 1999, while performing in Italy, A&R executive Nico Spinosa recruited Paris and signed her to a record deal, allowing her to record "Look at Us". Following its European release the same year, it became a club hit in Europe and the United States. In July 2000, the song was serviced to US radio, but it failed to make an impact. However, when the music director of San Francisco's KYLD radio station, "Jazzy" Jim Archer, began to air the song in September, the 18–25 female demographic began requesting the song frequently, allowing the song to spread to other stations. By May 2001, 116 stations nationwide had playlisted the track. ==Reception==

Critically, Liana Jonas of AllMusic called Paris's vocal performance "innocent and flavored with an electronica sensibility" but noted that the song's lyrics could easily be pasted over every other track on Sarina Paris. Commercially, "Look at Us" became a hit in several countries. In Canada, it reached number 19 on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart in July 2000. On Australia's ARIA Singles Chart, the song debuted at number 39, its peak, on the week dated 22 July 2001 and spent five weeks within the top 50. ==Track listings==
