abstract
  • %22Ready or Not%22 is a song by the American hip hop group The Fugees, from their second studio album The Score (1996). The song contains a sample of %22Boadicea%22 by Enya, and its chorus is based on %22Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)%22 by The Delfonics. While %22Ready or Not%22 was a minor hit in the Fugees' native United States, the song was most successful in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it topped the charts. It remained at that position for two weeks, becoming their second chart-topping single of 1996 in Britain, following Killing Me Softly. Singer Enya was prepared to sue the group for copyright infringement, because she had not permitted the group to sample the song %22Boadicea%22, from her 1986 album Enya. She eventually settled out of court.Barack Obama listed this as his favourite song. The song is used from the theatrical trailer of the film Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
