In 2005, Amerie burst back onto the music scene with her fourth single "1 Thing", which was used as the theme song for the Will Smith movie "Hitch". "1 Thing" went to the top of the charts in various international markets, including the US, UK and others around the world. It earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (the album "Touch" was also nominated for the "Best Contemporary R&B Album" Grammy ). The album sold an estimated 800,000 copies worldwide and went gold in the US and silver in the UK.
Amerie's third album 'Because I Love It' was released in the UK , Europe and Asia in 2007. The single "Take Control" was released in October 2006, and it enjoyed international success. The second single "Gotta Work" did not fare as well in the charts, despite receiving heavy airplay on UK and European music video channels. The album has sold a combined total of 310,000 copies worldwide and is her most critically acclaimed album.
In late 2007, was reported that Amerie had left her label Columbia Records, and signed with the Island Def Jam Music Group.
Amerie revealed the album title to be changed from 'Breakups To Makeups' to 'In Love & War'. Amerie also announced that her first single off the album will be titled "Why R U?" produced by The Buchanans. The single premiered online in the week of May 11th and received fairly mixed reviews. The track itself is even compared to Mary J. Blige's "What's The 411?" and "My Life" album, because of the old school feel.
Amerie changed her artist name to Ameriie (extra I) in 2010. She said that it gave her more positive energy as an artist. She changed her artist name back to Amerie (without the extra I) with the double EP releases '4AM Mulholland' and 'After 4AM' in 2018.
Right now her main focus is on books, youtube channel and her son and husband.

You can come with me
Na na na, na na na (oh yeah)

She would go and treat you that way
Especially after all the craziness you took
It just ain't necessary
I feel the tears that you cry at night
Cause I know what love is suppose to be like
Every little kiss and hug that she put aside
Baby, if you want to I can make it right

Didn't want to be to bold
Didn't want to hate on your girl but know I

The song "Come With Me" by Amerie is a message of support and consolation to someone who has just gone through a tough breakup. The lyrics are particularly directed towards a man who has been left alone by his girlfriend. The singer is empathizing with the guy's predicament and is encouraging him to come with her if he feels like he has nowhere else to go.
The opening lines of the song communicate that the man does not have to suffer all by himself. Instead, he has the option to come along with the singer and receive the support and care that he deserves. Amerie then reassures the man that his pain and hurt are valid emotions, but he does not have to endure them on his own. She acknowledges that it is tough to believe that his girlfriend would treat him in such a manner, but she is here to offer comfort.
Throughout the song, the message is clear - the man can feel safe and accepted with the singer. Through her words, she is expressing her willingness to stand by him through any emotional turmoil that he is currently experiencing. In the final lines of the song, Amerie guarantees him that his life will be better if he chooses to come along with her.
