Creep topped the charts

January 28, 1995
TLC started a four week run at No.1 on Billboards singles chart with Creep, the group’s first US No.1 hit. The song made No.6 in the UK the following year.

This was written and produced by the Atlanta-based producer Dallas Austin. Though he had already made a name for himself working alongside producers like L.A. Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and hot acts like Another Bad Creation and Bell Biv DeVoe, Creep would be an important song for Austin because it proved he could write from a female perspective.
