The music video for "Full Moon" was directed by Chris Robinson and filmed on various locations throughout Los Angeles, California on March 1–2, 2002.[22] Norwood, who was nearly six months pregnant at the time of the video shoot, does not dance in the video,[21] which features model and Moesha actor Yoki Brown as her male counterpart.[22] The final edit premiered on MTV's music video chart program Total Request Live on April 3, 2002, where it debuted at number ten and reached number one.[23][24] It stayed on the show for forty-one days.[23] The video opens with Norwood stargazing through a telescope on her Los Angeles balcony at a full moon night. Through the instrument she turns her attention to someone's house party a few miles away, where she spots a longhaired male, portrayed by Brown, among the guests. She changes clothes and then rides through the hillside along the coast in her silver cabriolet. Once she has arrived, Norwood enters the shindig in hopes of meeting him. This serves as the catalyst for a distant flirt between her and Brown that continues as the song plays. During the bridge, he follows her back into the car. In the end they stop by a view point, watching the sinking full moon
“Full Moon” is the eponymous second single off of Brandy’s 3rd studio album of the same name. Written and produced by Mike City, this track peaked at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 5th, 2002. A centuries-old cult belief, many societies correlate a number of atypical human behaviors and world events to various lunar effects. A number of scientific studies have suggested that the effects of a full moon could be responsible for a number of actions; including increases in criminal activity, births, and fertility. Brandy sings about being entranced by the presence of an unknown stranger in a nightclub she frequents. She pursues him, suggesting that the gravitational pull of a full moon has provoked a carnal side she normally does not possess.
