This is why we need to keep the memory of the 2000’s alive. To be honest, I did too until I heard it this past weekend. Peaking at number 8 on the Hot 100, ‘1 Thing’ was able to make enough of an impact that it made Rolling Stone’s best songs of the 2000’s list at number 22.Ĭhances are that you probably forgot about ‘1 Thing’. Can we pause and talk about that breakdown? ‘1 Thing’ is just a smash in every sense of the word. This was all done apparently without the permission of Usher, who gave the ultimatum 'Id better get some of the. Her voice is on the weaker side, but she knows her strengths enough to mask that. Get Right was originally demoed as Ride for Ushers 2004 album Confessions, but after it failed to make the cut Harrison passed it on to Lopez as an apology for giving another track, 1 Thing, to Amerie instead of her. ‘1 Thing’ and Amerie flow together flawlessly. It’s always evident when an artist write the music their singing. Once you get past the horns, you start to hear the plethora of instruments Harrison used. There are so many musical layers to ‘1 Thing’ that it’s impossible to catch them all on first listen. In an era where synths were ruling the airwaves, Harrison was able to get big band back on the radio. Harrison is easily one of my top 5 producers and ‘1 Thing’ is the perfect example why. The song was produced by Rich Harrison, who also produced ‘Crazy in Love’ *Further Proof*. By no means am I saying that Amerie jacked Beyonce’s style, but there’s definitely some influence going on here. In ‘Crazy’ there was the ‘Uh-Oh’ sections, in ‘1 Thing’ we have the ‘Na Na Na Na Na Oh’ keeping us company. Still great, but not the original.Īmerie took a lot of notes from ‘Crazy’ because the same things that worked for Beyonce worked for her. ‘Crazy in Love’ is still one of the best singles ever, so that’s why ‘1 Thing’ is the step-sister.
AMERIE 1 THING JLO FULL
Both songs are horn driven anthems that kick in full force.
‘1 Thing’ is pretty much the step-sister of Beyonce’s ‘Crazy in Love’. To date the song serves as Amerie’s shining musical moment and one of the best songs of the 2000’s. It also was thrown onto the Hitch soundtrack, further exposing it to the public. Lo, following the huge success of lead 'Love Don't Cost a Thing'.While it isn't as memorable as that bop, it did hit 18 on the US charts and make top ten in ten other countries when it was first released. The song took the radio by storm becoming Amerie’s first number 1 hit on the R&B charts. Stolen From: Christina Milian 'Play' was the second single from 2000's J. So if you had ears in 2005 then you have to remember the Amerie smash ‘1 Thing’. Considering that is is the ‘Laffy Taffy’ era its bound to be overlooked. What better way to keep that era of music alive then to bring it back up from time to time. One of my favorite things to write about is old music, specifically music from the 2000-2009 era when things were just the best. She co-wrote it and her and her partner LEAKED the joint to various radio stations…IT WAS AN INSTANT HIT! She was genius, but I do think that got her blackballed in the industry.Maybe I should jump on the whole Throwback Thursday thing. The label was basically trying to bully Amerie into giving up the song… She knew better. Lo got wind of it and wanted it for her own album. “So backstory…Amerie had this song for her second album but didn’t want to mess with it, and J. “ Never forget that time when dropped “One Thing” because at tried to hijack it for herself!🤣🤣” On Instagram, the details were shared how Amerie’s single came to be and the ramifications that followed afterward. There’s a sordid history behind the release of “1 Thing.” The singer-songwriter has five studio albums from 2002-2009. Rich Harrison produced “1 Thing” and co-wrote the track with Amerie. Īmerie Is A DC Native So She Wanted To Pay Homage With This Song, She Said The Inspo From This Song Came From “GOGO Music.”
#Amerie became my soft Ruff Ryder’s anthem side from 2002 thru 2008. I was 26 when this song dropped & years before & after that time you couldn’t tell me nothing! I was the dopest most adorable, cutest, sexiest around the way girl.
