Hot song! This would make an interesting video. I am very excited. She always has hot first singles though. Hot albums, but never a second single that shows off her talent. Hopefully she gets it this time. She deserves success.
I like both titles, but I like "...None Of The Above" more. It can be taken many different ways. "Because I Love It" is hot too. If it is in fact the title I would love to hear her explanation for it. Sounds like "Because Your Worth It" from the Cover Girl commerials, LOL.

I just heard it and it sounds like a reject track from B'Day. C'mon Amerie. It's alright but not anything out of this world. Maybe it's her vocals, they seem so blah.

Wow, this is HOT! The clip sounded good but now in full and HQ sounds even better. Amerie is so underrated, she has so much potential and the guts to deliver an amazing album filled with good songs, yet she cant reach the next level.
I hope her next album is even better than 'Touch' and will finally be her 'breakaway' Loving Take Control, the bridge sounds hot!

I'm loving "Take Control" and "That's How You Are". Right now I am hoping these are the first and second singles. The full versions are way better than the loopped clips. Straight fire from Amerie this time. She ain't playing no games!!!!

Alot of you are saying that the one track is better than the whole album. The song is good, but it's really not that serious. Compare song to songs and albums to albums.

Can someone change the thread title?
The album is officially called Because I Love It and the official lead single is "Take Control".
"That's What U Are" is the MUCH hotter song and everyone at her old label - Sony Urban Music - picked that track to lead off the album. But Sony dissolved her contract into Columbia so she's being marketed now as a "pop" artist and "Take Control" won out.

1 Thing flopped on Pop. It only went to #36 on Pop 100 Airplay.
It barely went Top 10 on the Hot 100 due to very good urban airplay, decent digital downloads and decent rhythmic.
I agree with boutitboutit. Moving Amerie to pop is too premature.

Tryin to force some1 to become a pop artist when they have a urban following and no pop success, is the dumbest move ever. I cant see them doin that.

^^yeah thanks for the CORRECT numbers boutitboutit
i think we can all agree that Amerie has an urban following--not a Pop appeal (yet).

Either way, Sony Urban is done with her and she's Columbia's artist now.

Hot 100 is hardly Pop since its top 10 is mostly ruled by urban or urban styled songs...

1 thing was robbed of the #1 I dont think there was a catchier song than that last year and it deserved to be #1 IMO. Take Control is pure fire, Amerie is truly the most underrated singer on the bussiness, she doesnt get full credit and actual deserved sales for her music, and she ALWAYS deliver KILLER tunes and amazing albums I hope this era will finally put her under the global superstar map. 'Rihanna' reached 1 million and she cant sing or write, Amerie who is actually TALENTED, deserves so and much more! Take Control Amerie! Sing it girl!
