It was written and produced by Kelly. The song was released as a single on Jive Records in November 1991. The song was a top-10 hit on the US Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, peaking at number seven. It also peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart on re-release in 1994 and number 59 in the Billboard Hot 100. "She Got That Vibe" was later picked on R. Kelly's first compilation album, The R. in R&B Collection, Vol. 1.

Critical reception

Emma Cochrane from Smash Hits gave "She's Got That Vibe" a score of three out of five, noting that Kelly "has wisely dropped the sexist lyrics of his latest release, "Summer Bunnies", and instead gone for a swingbeaty kind of groove. However, it's just all a bit too smooth."{{cite magazine|first=Emma|last=Cochrane|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/57779449@N02/54031698411/in/album-72177720320702600|title=New Singles|magazine=Smash Hits|date=October 12, 1994|page=63|access-date=October 6, 2024}}
