"Fix" is a song performed by American contemporary R&B group Blackstreet, originally appearing as the fourth track on their second studio album Another Level. A remixed version of the song was issued as the third single from the album and features the band Fishbone, [5] as well as Ol' Dirty Bastard and ad-libs by Guns N' Roses guitarist, Slash. The song peaked at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1997. [6]

The album version of the song contains a sample of " The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five; and the song was later sampled in "Jambo 1997" by Tonex. [7] The physical single contains an excerpt of "Man Behind the Music" by Queen Pen. [1] [4]

The song was remixed again for the Soul Food soundtrack. This version, titled "Call Me", includes a rap verse from Jay-Z. All versions of the song feature all four members on lead vocals.
