  6. JoanaPortugal

    LOVEEEE IT
    For what i heard Chris Brown wrote the song and Polow was the producer.
    Love Chris voice in the back

  7. Todd E.

    That was HOT! At first I thot it sounded like a song meant for like a Jordin Sparks, but Mary sells me on it, and makes it her song.

  8. PLUMZ

    I LOVES ME SOME MARY

    THIS WAS OK, FOR ME MAYBE A FEW MORE LISTENS

    I’M INTRIGUIDED(spelling?) TO HEAR MORE.

  9. krystal

    Good Look Mary!!! Get it Girl.

  10. Lanice

    I really like the song, and Chris must be on his grind in the studio to co-write something grown up like this.

  11. Army

    Mary J jusqu’à la mort !!

  12. Um yeah....

    Lyrically the song is brilliant, but when I listen to this version all I hear is Mary hollering. Dont get me wrong, Mary is talented, but I liked it much better when Esther Dean sung her part. Big ups to Mr. Brown though. Maybe this version will grow on me.

  13. The bizness

    Mary needs to stop with the Auto tune…
    We wanna hear the grit and soul in your voice MJB! Not the perfect blandness that’s all over the radio now…

  14. gg boo

    That sounds great. I love Mary and this is a different unique sound… want to hear more like this!

  15. Mutada al sader the king

    What the fuck did they do to her voice ? She sounds like a fucking computer. Pitch correction ruined what would have been a great song. 3/5 SMH

  16. Lola

    i love it. its a really good song for that documentary.

  17. Megan

    Love this song, cant believe chris help write this. Im so proud of him. Completely different sound from mary love it.

  18. THA-TRUTH

    Love Chris Voice in the Back – Think he did well writing too

  19. tee

    I love Mary to death but this is not hot…

  20. yesss

    I love me Some Mary.. Go Girl.
    Love the track.

  21. MESHA

    CORRECT THIS POST KERI HILSON WRITE THIS SONG

  22. MESHA

    KERI HILSON WROTE THIS SONG AND CHRIS DIDN’T CO WRITE, HE JUST DID BACK GROUND VOCALS!

  23. Megan

    No she didnt chris brown and ester dean wrote this song, the demo is on youtube. Its been confirmed that they wrote this song.

  24. Pretty as a...

    This song is sooooo pretty. I thought Chris woulda had his own verse but actually him just backing up the vocals on the hook was just the right touch. Makes me wish I could sing this to my hubby, cuz we goin thru it right now…best to Mary and Breezy

  25. DivaJr.

    Alrite Mary!

    Her voice definitely sounds strong as Hell!

  26. MWNY

    love it!! Can’t wait to pick up the CD!!

  27. Megan

    I actually like the unfinished version a lil better because you could hear the pain almost in there voices.

  28. Barbie *The real one*

    I KINDA LIKE IT

  29. Janay

    Hmm.. It’s a nice song… I don’t expect this album to be as good as The Breakthrough I think she actually may need to take a break for a sec then come back really STRONGER.

  30. ANON.

    I heard this song a long time ago but I like it. =]

  31. Tiara

    This song is amazing! Very powerful with some deep meaning behind it, obviously since CB wrote it with Ester Dean not too long after he and Rih-Rih reunited.

    “I’m laying my life on the line.”
    “They say we won’t make it, but guess what we made it, and we got ‘em wondering how.”
    “No more running scared closing my eyes.”
    “I get on my knees to make sure that He knows that I’m grateful for what He gave me.”

    Beautifully deep. Go Mary and go Chris Brown! She sounds amazing and he’s really growing as a songwriter. If he keeps this up, I’ll definitely be checking for his new album.

  32. 2005 not 2003 liars

    Tiara he wrote this last year,

  33. Mellow

    Yea this is the song he wrote for him and rih, it was written before the incident tho.

  34. dopest_chick

    It’s decent i stopped listening to Mary in ’04 tho but she’s still a legend in my book!

  35. Pickmepickme

    Hey I get to screen the Lebron movie next week yipee!!!

  36. Syn'ceRe

    I LIKE KERIS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. Siyah

    who is esther dean????

  38. Focused1

    Very nice song with inspirational lyrics. Chris Brown is a pretty good songwriter. This is like the 3rd good song I’ve heard he has co-written. I do wish that Mary would return to Hip hop soul she’s known for and work with other producers besides Darkchild. He ‘s a good producer, but I haven’t like much of his songs lately. I will still check for Mary’s album as I always do though.

  39. Megan

    ester dean is a song writer, if you can remember back to when chris was seen coming out of the tattoo shop with natalie he said he was with dean, thats who he was talking about. They have work together before.

  40. Me Damnit

    I looove this song!! I am so glad Mary is going to release it! Her version was always my favorite and this will be a good look for CB! Chris is a really talented songwriter, people just don’t realize it! He has a lot more grown up songs out that people haven’t heard yet, but they will be surprised to know he wrote. I think the song will do really well for her!

  41. Chantel

    @ MESHA – Chris Brown co-wrote the song with Ester Dean. Why would he JUST do background vocals for the hell of it? LOL! Just like he did background vocals for Disturbia. He wrote the song.

  42. Me Damnit

    I luv this song too! Mary and CB did a good job! I heard this was the song that Chris and Rih Rih were supposed to record together, but got canceled after the fight! Can you imagine Rihanna’s God awful voice trying to sing this! She would have murdered it ad not in a good way! Ugh! I shudder at the though! Go Queen Mary!

  43. Me Damnit

    I meant ‘and’ & ‘thought’!

  44. AUTUMN

    hahaha LMAO @ 46. ME DAMNIT…yea i can’t picture her singing this song either

  45. PEACE AT HEART

    love the song, tooooo bad CB is a batter ughhhhh, work it MARYYYYYY

    I’m tired of women ta

  46. ~BIZNESSWMN~F.U.PAY.ME

    Who cares if Mary uses autotone? We all know she can sing without it. When she sings this live you will still feel the emotion that MJB always brings in her music.

  47. Teresa

    LMAO @ Me damnit! I know right! I heard that too! How in the hell any one could think lil miss forehead would have pulled this song off is beyond me! She would have butcherd it worst than she did on Jay-z’s track! I know she was his boo (at the time) but don’t be giving her songs she can’t handle!

  48. Teresa

    Um…No. 49… do you mean ‘batterer’? How you gon try to diss some one and then miss spell words! People, please leave your personal opinions of CB out of this and just comment on the song! Whether you like it or not he is still gonna have a career. If you don’t like him, don’t support him! That’s all you can do! All the nasty lil comments aren’t necessary and clearly aren’t working!

  49. y

    i like it , But she’s the reason why ,,,,,due to her life

  50. backingbarack

    im sorry but mary i just wack to me. her current stuff is just lame. plus she has no personality nor looks to drag you in.

    please mary retire!!!

  51. HAHAHHAHAHA

    LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE ITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

    Rihanna’s lame ass wouldn’t have been able to pull this off if Melissa’s quick weaves depended on it.

  52. wtf

    go chris..he is one talented boy..cant hold him down!!!!

    love the song….

  53. Get over it

    he just wrote half a song! no hate or anything but people should go and look at some real songwiters

  54. FallBackHaters

    ‘no more running scared’ love it. And if CB wrote this he’s good.

  55. TSI

    So touching..I shed a tear and I love it!!

  56. ValleyBlock

    Love the song. Mary did a great job…I don’t know why polow is getting credit tho. To my knowledge Hit-Boy produced this track his self. Well he is signed to polow/zone4. This song should do well tho. Nice track
