Composition
"Two to Make It Right" contains a sample of the song "Kiss" as performed by the Art of Noise featuring Tom Jones, and a sample of "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, which itself contains a sample of Lyn Collins's "Think (About It)"; the latter song has its roots in James Brown's famous and often sampled "Yeah! Woo!" drum break.
