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.
Why Don't We Fall In Love Remix Ft. Ludacris
Amerie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much that I wanna do
It startin' to become so clear to me
Tomorrow ain't really what it seems
So many days I've thought of you
It's about time you knew the truth
Got to act quickly, you and I
Why don't we (So why don't we), don't we
Why don't we, why don't we (Yeah)
Why don't we, why don't we fall in love (Why don't we fall in love)
(It's so many reason)
(It's the only thing that matters to me)
Why don't we fall in love
It takes such a load off to let you know
That you're the only one I never want to go
Think I never did know what to do
A love I never felt, now I feel with you
Why don't I just swallow each and every ounce of my pride
Everything you do I wanna feel again
Ain't no use for us to pretend
Why don't we, don't we (Why can't we)
Why don't we (Why can't we), why don't we (Why can't we)
Why don't we, why don't we fall in love (We, can't we fall)
Why don't we, why don't we (Yeah, yeah)
Why don't we, why don't we fall in love (Oh)
Why (Yeah)
Come with me
Tomorrow we're guaranteed love
Baby, let's be
Baby, let's be
Why don't we, why don't we
Why don't we, why don't we fall in love
Why don't we, why don't we (Oh)
Why don't we, why don't we fall in love
Oh...oh
No, no, no, no
Whoa...oh
Oh...oh...oh
Oh
Oh, yeah
These lyrics are a declaration of love from Amerie to someone she has been thinking about for days. She is going through a lot of things and realizing that tomorrow is not promised, so she wants to act quickly and tell this person how she feels. She is implying that there are so many reasons why they should fall in love and asking why they don't just let it happen. She expresses that it feels like a load off her shoulders to finally tell this person that they are the only one she never wants to leave. The second verse talks about how she wants to swallow her pride and feel everything that this person makes her feel again. Amerie is saying that there is no point in pretending that they don't feel something for each other, and suggests that they should be together and see what happens. The chorus repeats the question of why they aren't falling in love and implores them to do so.
The remix of this song features Ludacris, who adds a verse where he tells Amerie to stop playing games and take action. He emphasizes that she will regret it if she doesn't confess her love, and he encourages her to do so. Ludacris also acknowledges that they have a strong connection and tells her that they should give it a try.

The entire musical compilation of this song is hypnotic! I used to have this on replay in my Durango in the early 2000s! Still sounds hot! Her entire CD was underrated.
