And of course, she dips it low. And picks it up slow.

Christina Milian might forever be known to you as the girl who wants you to hit the lights — you know, so you can rock it day and night. But 15 years after being featured on her first radio hit with Ja Rule (who can forget Between Me and You), she's about to show a side of her that we've never seen before on the new reality show Christina Milian Turned Up, which premieres this Sunday at 10 on E!. Christina stopped by BuzzFeed and answered some questions about herself, including admitting a corny picky up line that just might work on her.
1. AM or PM?
PM. PM to AM! Really though. I'm up all night, and then next thing you know it's the morning and I'll sleep, like, three hours. I'm a night owl. I'm usually in the studio at night, working, and then I get home, I'm on my phone looking at Instagram pictures and buying stuff. Shopping.
2. How did you get the stage name Milian?
My real last name is Flores, and Milian is actually my mom's maiden name. So it's not made up, which is cool, it runs in the family. And it actually worked out better for my career to have the last name Milian, because Flores kept me in a little box, and no one really associated me with the last name Flores. So Milian really opened things up for me. It's weird what a last name will do. I changed it to Milian and next thing you know I was working, and getting auditions and stuff, and it was crazy.
3. How often does someone give you their number and say, "Call me, beep me if you want to reach me?"
If you want to page me, It's OK! I've actually had guys tell me they were fans from the Kim Possible days. And I've met people who still have the Kim Possible theme song as their ringtone. But no one has used that line on me just yet.
4. Does that song follow you around though?
In a good way! I think it's cool. I never imagined people would still be talking about it. I did it when I was 17 or 18. I used to be on Disney all the time, and I recorded the song, and did a commercial, and that was it. I didn't have to do anything after that, and people still talk about it! I didn't realize, I guess it's this generation now that they are grown and they are like, hey, by the way.
5. Back to the pickup line, would it work?
"Call me, beep me if you want to reach me?" It would actually be so cute. It might work, actually.
