  1. homie

    The song is okay, but that picture is creepy. She looks possessed.

  2. BLACKBALANCE

    A bit surprised at Amerie. That’s all said!

  3. DAFINESTGRL

    I LIKE IT!!!!! GO MS.AMERIE

  4. brandi

    I like the song, classic Amerie. But that download link isn’t working.

  5. Tami

    I love Amerie but the song for me was just okay.

  6. diamond

    smooth and sensual.. i like it

  7. Tapiwe

    Sounds like a badly done Letoya Luckett song, she’s gonna need a good video.

  8. johnosahon

    FINALLY something to catch my attention from amerie, like this song

  9. Tld

    It’s Ok nothing special.Her song The Flowers is nice, that is about it though.

  10. DJ

    Pretty hot song but her album as a whole is even hotter. One of the best of the year imo.

  11. Dominicano

    Ohhhh i love this!! Very sensual and not over done like most slow jams!!

  12. Shavonne

    smooth and relaxing. amerie is more versatile than some of you think. give her a chance and you’ll like her. it’s refreshing to see an artist who is so passionate about making music. check check this video out to hear her talk about one of her songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3829iGmE2Zk

    and OMG! this album is soooooo good!!! i heard it in full yesterday and i can’t stop listening to it. i will most def be picking up the album when it drops on nov. 3! support good music y’all!

  13. MzDecember

    ….i like this song but i always thought this was Trey Songz “Patron” (i like it better l0l)
    if u haven’t heard it…look it up. Idk who did it first, but either way–>Good job Amerie =)

  14. I like this song but Pretty Brown should have been her next single! Its the best song on her whole album and she needs a hit.

  15. ITZMEPRICKZ

    THE TUNE IS THE LICCCKKKK!!! R U NUTSSS!!!

  16. hbkon2ive

    This song was sooo much better when it was Trey Songz “Patron.” That jam gets it poppin lol, at least I know why it’s not on his album now

  17. CaliStar

    I’m really feeling the song. I love the beat and melody. Amerie’s delivery is good, very sexy, but could have been better. She should have added more layers to the background vocals. They sounded a bit empty.

    For some strange reason, I could really see Brandy tearing this song up, especially with her background vocals all over the beat. That would be sick!

    Johnta Austin did a song called “Patron” to this same beat. It’s hot too.

  18. JACKTHERIPPER

    OMG! I LIKE THIS BETTER THAN THE FIRST SINGLE & THE SECOND ONE!

    THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE SECOND SINGLE!!!!!!!

  19. theComplex

    This is actually hot! I never know what to expect with Amerie. I love her but sometimes the tracks that release are lack-luster. I look forward to the album!

  20. bryant ( aka trey songz bottom lip )

    Always loved Amerie… and love this song.

  21. Phoenix Wright

    “3……2…….1……take offfff”

    That is so HOT. The final version turned out GREAT!

    By the way this is not a single “Pretty Brown” ft . Trey Songz is the next single.

    Amerie’s In Love & War album comes out next week Tuesday!
    NOVEMBER 3rd!!!
    11/03/09!!!

  22. Fred

    Love it! Great album btw! Pretty Brown is the new single, not Red eye

  23. TJACK25

    LOL @ 15… Where you from???

    I ain’t heard nobody say “the lick” in a loooooong time, lol.

  24. Just In

    This is a nice song. I would chop a jawn down to this 1.
    She also is a very under rated artist but that makes her Amerie. I think the next single should be the one with her and Fabolous.

  25. Zoid

    Love me some Amerie – a permanent fan from her improvisational vocal licks on LL Cool J’s jam from a few years back.

  26. natalia

    I really like this.

    I’ve never cared for Amerie but I’ve been a fan of all the new tracks and this is the first Amerie album I will purchase.

    Very nice.

  27. Whoever

    This been on the internet for over a month CL! I had it and I loves it! The intro was missing and it was marked though.

  28. Whoever

    Oh wait…. She changed the ending with all of that talking mess! YUCK! I hate that!

  29. OrangeStar616

    its ok……

  30. Mikki

    I like this way better than all the other junk she’s been putting out. For the record I’ve always been an Amerie fan but I’m not gonna go for crap music sorry…feelin this one though..

  31. MISS LADY

    Actually I love Johnta Austin’s version the best. I think his is the ORIGINAL PATRON! But this song has a nice groove. Reminds of the breakdown in Heard ‘Em All which is dope!

  32. MissP

    Amerie doing her thing! Loving the album.

  33. Dev

    I heard the Amerie album and it seems that she hasn’t evolved musically. This is gonna tank big time!

  34. Intrigue216

    This song is hot, but I think she should have worked on the vocals more.

  35. Hilltop

    This song is HOT!!!!!

  36. AJ

    love this ..nice slow jam! cant wait 2 pick up “in love& war” on NOV 3rd 09!!
    this has got to be the best album of 09…others might sell more but they suck.
    Amerie fan 4 life!

  37. sher

    omg i luv luv this song reminds me of aaliyah, keep it up amerie!

  38. mrs. sk8board p (ak & bk stan)

    i like it, but i don’t like the album collectively

  39. poetrysistah

    it’s pretty good

  40. Ru

    Loved the beat from the first time I heard it almost a year ago.
    To correct quite a few… the song is Johnta Austin’s – Patron, not Trey Songz.
    Yes, Trey did a remake, but it didn’t come close to the original.
    But one could say the same about “I need A Girl”….
    Johnta stop selling your bangers and release Ocean Drive!!!
    I digress…….

    Amerie’s track could have been nice, but it just sounds like a bad remix.. once you hear lyrics that are suppose to go with this music… Sorry… Truth is truth

  41. Nicole

    i liked it..til she started singing.

  42. Siren

    great song loving her version and the Johnta Austin version as well.

  43. Michelle

    HOTT!! Luv it ..sexaa!

  44. Kellz

    I hope they release this as a single.

  45. DarwinDevron

    Yea I’m really feelin Red Eye… The album is dope!!
    I watch the making of Higher 1 of my fava tracks.
    to many haters … stop Hating
    She writes her own music.

  46. mrsjones

    I’m listening to the song “patron” right now, and it is Trey Songz, not Johnta Austin. It even says trey songz at the beginning of the song

  47. mrsjones

    they don’t even have Johnta’s version on youtube

  48. I can't stand the rain

    I’m feelin this a lot… might even cop the album

  49. truthfullyspeaking

    When I heard this song, I was saying to myself, this song has a wonderful concept, beautiful song lyrics, a soft and lovely R&B, but a bit of a hip-hop edge beat, but it’s not enough! It sounds unfinished. It has the potential to be an amazing hit, but there’s not enough with the beat. Timbaland fell off, in my opinion, but I could imagine him putting those signature hip-hop drums that get the beat poppin and get you moving along with this song. Or, the Dream and Trickey Stewart giving this a nice flowing hip-hop bass like they did with some of the songs that they recorded with Ciara on her latest flop. WTF happened B. Cox… you ran out of recording time with Amerie? BTW Amerie did much better with her vocals on this song, but she still needs to lower her tone. Think of Why Don’t We Fall In Love.

  50. Jamaicafest

    I like the song.

  51. Phoenix Wright

    msjones go google it! Johnta Austin has a version of it that came out before Trey. Same exact lyrics, but Trey sung it better. It’s not on google cause he doesn’t have a lot of fans simple as that.(fans usually post up vids on youtube)

  52. TonTeezy

    I like it. It’s something I could listen to over & over. Smooth & relaxing.

  53. MzDecember

    Johnta Austin “Patron” (if anyone wants to hear since its hard to find)
    http://www.imeem.com/back...gxS/johnta-austin-patron/

    search Trey Songz Patron on Youtube…STiLL LiKE iT BETTER!! l0l

    & i am still feeling this song by Amerie =)

  54. Rick

    Yo the album is so freakin hot its insane. I will cop it on Nov. 3rd ya heard!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. BMORE410

    AMERIE IS DAT B%^#*!!!!!! “EVERYBODY” SHOULD BE CHECKING FOR HER! SHE IS MAD TALETED BUT CONSTANTLY UNDERRATED!!!! SHE ALWAYS REINVENTS HER STYLE AND GIVES US SOMETHING FRESH. NOBODY SINGS WITH THE MELODIC AGGRESSION THAT SHE DOES OVER A TRACK. NOT ONLY DOES SHE HAVE SKILLS, BUT SHE IS EXTREMELY SMART AND VERY ARTICULATE. AMERIE FANS, “WE NEED TO SUPPORT HER”!!!! SHE CONSISTENTLY COMES WITH FIRE! SHE MAY HAVE RELEASED MEDIOCRE SINGLES IN THE PAST BUT ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN FOLLOWING HER KNOWS THAT SHE REALLY IS THE TRUTH AND SHE REALLY DESERVES HER TIME TO SHINE! ARTIST SUCH AS BEYONCE AND RIHANNA ALWAYS STEAL HER SPOTLIGHT. WE ALL KNOW THAT HAD “RIHANNA” CAME OUT WITH “HEARD EM ALL” THEN IT WOULD’VE WENT NUMBER ONE BECAUSE SHE IS RIHANNA, ALTHOUGH AMERIE IS CLEARLY DOING HER THING ON THAT TRACK! PEOPLE PLEASE START CHECKING FOR AMERIE!!!!!! IN LOVE AND WAR (NOVEMBER 3RD)!!!!!! LETS ALL START SUPPORTING AND RECOGNIZING TRUE TALENT!

  56. Desirée

    Love it!! love Amerie!! her album release party is tonight here in miami!! im mad i can’t go though ,:[

  57. Takira

    I love this song & her. I will always love her music : )
