Can't Stay Away is the eleventh studio album by American rapper Too Short. It was released on July 13, 1999, via Jive Records, making it his eighth album on the label. The album received generally positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, certified Gold on August 13, 1999, only a month after its release. This is Too Short's fourth consecutive album to reach the top of the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
The album was preceded by the singles "Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches" which rose to number 51 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in September 1998, and "More Freaky Tales" which hit number 3 on the Hot Rap chart in January 1999. A music video was produced for the song "Ain't No Bitches". "It's About That Money" with Sean "Puffy" Combs was released as a single to accompany the album in mid-1999, but it missed the Hot 100 by four places in August.[4] The Village Voice called out "It's About That Money" and "Here We Go" as the best two songs on the album, the rest are described as Too Short's usual "trunk funk" style.[5]
