In her latest attempt to reclaim the mainstream success she last saw with 1 Thing, Amerie has selected the radio-friendly Heard Em All for official promotion, even pushing her forthcoming In Love & War LP to November 3 so its projected chart peak could coincide with the single’s release. Today, we present another sign of her strong belief in the record: the official remix! This version of the track retains Eric Hudson & Sean Garrett‘s percussion-driven beat, which sounds like a more organic version of Polow da Don‘s boardwork on Turnin’ Me On (you know, the single that finally got Keri Hilson her much-deserved radio props), but benefits from the addition of hip-hop megastar Lil Wayne, who addresses his uncanny knack for attracting the ladies in a brand new opening verse. Those intrigued by Amerie’s distinctive blend of playfully pop-friendly and soulfully deep musical elements should be sure to stop by the Booth on Tuesday, when the singer will share her insights in an exclusive interview with DJ Z.

Amerie was sadly forgettable and actually boring. It's a shame 'cause I was hoping that she'll have another hit like "1 Thing" but this isn't even close to anything dope.
Maybe Wayne was reading my comments about him because I haven't heard rap this hard in a while. He was the only thing enjoyable about the song. "I ain't gotta do me, 'cause your girl do" love the line Wayne. |

Amerie's music can best be appreciated in a live arena. Computer speakers don't do this production work (with live instrumentation) justice. I agree with "Hoamboy" above; Wayne raps his ass off here. Love the "A Milli" line.
Rotation. |

Although this song was just as good without Wayne, he gave it the push it needed for radio!
I actually rated this 3 stars, I meant 5.... |

Wayne's back to rapping?? First "Forever" and now this! I mean its good to see he didn't mumbled his way through the verse with auto-tune ... Original was 3 to me but Weezy definitely stepped it up (only if little) ... 3.5
"Lemme freshin up..ok I jus wanna love every girl in the world Take her to the moon, then take her to the room Posted up chillin, lookin how im feeling Its miss amerie and mr. a milli Smelling? like money its prolly young money Usain wayne, I make her run from me Crew neck T, all black chucks Weezy F B Da Girl Dem Luva N If it aint Me Den Da Girls Jus Suffer I Got Da Big Bread So Da Girls Jus Butter u aint gotta love me cause the world do, and I aint gotta do me cuz ur girl do Ms.Amerie took a lil time out” “bu gotti so low u gotta climb out, bring it back, bring it back, ill blow ya spine out, haha get the handicap sign out" |

This song was dope before they put Wayne on it. He just makes it even better! Yes, im also happy hes been staying off that autotune and just giving the people want they want! but you know that young money album and rebirth is gonna be straight up autotuned out

This is probably the best verse ive heard from Wayne in some time, though I still think he needs to limit his guest features.

The song itself was great and with Weezy actually rapping rather than mumbling on a track is definately a plus

This one seems a song by Beyonce. It's not bad, I think it's a club song for us girls, but I'm also kinda tired of songs like this. It's in rotation, will be forgotten soon I guess! Great Lil Wayne here!

I usually like to hear Amerie's voice on a song, but this one here just didn't impress me at all. Amerie has too good of a voice to be trying to do songs like this. Wayne was straight.

I love 1 Thing, so I got excited when I saw Amerie. I guess I got a little carried away with my expectations. Not as good as 1 Thing TBH, but it's still okahy. Weezy did his thing, so that definitely helped it out some.
Rotation. |

Not even Lil Wayne's crazy rhyme can save the track from Ameries lame attempt at a Jamaican accent...
