"Transform Ya" is a song by Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne, released in 2009. The song was written by Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Kevin McCall, and produced by Swiss Beatz. The lyrics of the song talk about how Chris can "transform" his love interest into a better version of herself with the help of his wealth and fame. He can provide her with cars, bags, shoes, and transform her into a "freak" from a "good girl." The song is a combination of rap and R&B, and it showcases Chris Brown's dancing skills.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in different ways. It can be seen as a means for Brown to show off his wealth and the way he can transform women with his money and fame. On the other hand, it can also be seen as a metaphor for transforming someone's life through love and affection. The song's catchy chorus and Lil Wayne's rap verse made it a popular club and radio hit.
One of the interesting facts about the song is that it samples the Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere" instrumental track. Another interesting fact is that the song was written and produced by the same team that worked on Jay-Z's hit song "On to the Next One," which was released in the same year. "Transform Ya" was Brown's first single after his highly publicized assault on his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, earlier that year.
The song's music video features Chris Brown and Lil Wayne transforming various women while dancing in front of bright lights and transformers. The video was directed by Joseph Kahn and premiered on BET's 106 & Park on October 27, 2009.
Chords: The chords for the song are C#m, A, B, F#m.
