"Roll On" is a song by British girl group Mis-Teeq. It was written by Joleen Belle, Tyrice Jones, Kowan Paul, and Robyn Sykes and recorded for the group's debut album, Lickin' on Both Sides (2001), while production was helmed by Blacksmith. A remixed version of the song by Rishi Rich, with additional writing contributions from Rich and the group, was released as a double A-single along with a cover version of Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It" on 17 June 2002, marking the album's final single. Upon its release, it became another top-10 success for the group on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number seven.
Music video Instead of filming two separate music videos for the double A-side single, one music video was filmed combining both songs. The video opens with "Roll On", starting with a group of men playing basketball in a court. Mis-Teeq members Alesha Dixon, Su-Elise Nash and Sabrina Washington arrive in a lowrider and watch the men play basketball, and occasionally join in. Then it changes to dusk and cuts to the single "This Is How We Do It". The music video was filmed in various parts of Los Angeles, California in the US.
