what song was this?
 

it's been bugging me for years. here is what i remember. the song was from the early or mid 2000s i think it was from 05 or 06 i'm 100% the song is not newer then 2007. it was a man singing. but there were a few parts where woman was singing in an arabic or african sound. that is all i remember. it was a pretty popular song, it was played a lot. any help would be great!

This fits your description but...it's 1999 the year...
