Chris Brown's song Fine China was released in 2013 as part of his sixth studio album X. In this upbeat and lively song, Chris Brown sings about his love interest being worth pursuing and not allowing anyone else to waste their time. He questions if his love interest's current partner adores and values her as he does, and reassures her that she is not replaceable and that he is not dangerous. Brown also asks her to take things slow or to commit to him fully, comparing her worth to that of fine china, a valuable and collectible item.
The lyrics of Fine China can be interpreted as Brown's desire to be in a committed and cherished relationship where his love interest is valued and respected. He wants to differentiate himself from other potential partners who may not treat her as well as he intends to, comparing his love interest's value to that of fine china. The chorus reflects Brown's hope that his love interest would recognize his sincerity and choose to be with him.
The song's music video features Chris Brown as a martial arts fighter in a Chinese-themed nightclub where he courts and rescues his love interest from her abusive partner. The video's storyline is heavily influenced by the classic martial arts films of the 1970s.
