"We Ride (I See the Future)" is the first single (apart from the UK) released from Mary J. Blige's upcoming greatest hits album, Reflections - A Retrospective,[1] and will be released to U.S. radio in the first week of November.

"We Ride" was produced by Bryan Michael Cox and written by Cox and Johnta Austin. The premise of the song is a celebration of her new found happiness with husband and manager, Kendu Isaacs. The song contains the lyrics "from the day to the night we ride, I see the future, baby, you and I, better with time" and Cox stated "Mary's married, she's happy, in the best shape of her life, her voice is in the best shape of her life...people thought she was over, done, then she came through with The Breakthrough - "We Ride" celebrates all of that."[2]

The video for "We Ride" was shot in New York in early November.[2] and directed by Hype Williams. It premiered on December 9, 2006 on MTV.
