Milian made her first professional musical appearance on rapper Ja Rule 's second studio album '' Rule 3:36 '' ( 2000 ) , performing vocals on the song " Between Me and You " . The song was released as the album 's lead single in 2000 , peaking at number 11 on the '' Billboard '' Hot 100 , and in the top 30 of the UK Singles Chart . Milian co-wrote and performed backing vocals for the track " Play " for Jennifer Lopez 's album '' J. Lo '' ( 2001 ) , and co-wrote " Same Ol' Same Ol' " , the second single from girl group PYT 's debut album '' PYT ( Down with Me ) '' ( 2001 ) . Milian 's collaboration with Ja Rule led to a record deal with Def Soul Records , prompted by his affiliation with Murder Inc . Records , an imprint that was distributed through Def Jam , the parent label of Def Soul Records . She travelled to Sweden and recorded her self-titled debut album . The album was released on October 9 , 2001 in the UK , peaking at number 23 and selling a total of 101,986 copies . Internationally , the album peaked at number 36 in the Netherlands , and number 98 in Sweden . The album 's domestic release was postponed because of the September 11 attacks , which occurred just two weeks before its release date . Her label opted to release it later that year , in the fourth quarter , but as Milian explained , new artists generally do not release their albums during that time . As a result , the album was again delayed until the first quarter of 2002 ; however , Milian eventually opted not to release it . Two singles were taken from the album , " AM to PM " and " When You Look at Me " , both of which charted worldwide . A music video for the track " Get Away " was filmed in Paris , although it was not officially released as a single
