Hilson has been writing music for other artists since 2001, including Britney Spears, Ciara, Usher, and Ludacris. Despite having made a name for herself as an arranger and background vocalist, lending her vocal talents to many of the songs she wrote on, Hilson remained behind the scenes for the most part until 2004, when she was featured on Xzibit's single, "Hey Now (Mean Muggin)" and made her performing debut singing the track live at the 2004 MTV Europe Awards.
In 2006, Hilson reappeared on the music scene in the video for Nelly Furtado's single "Promiscuous". Meanwhile, she signed as an artist with Timbaland's newly formed Interscope associated label Mosley Music Group and the pair started work on her debut album '"In A Perfect World...". The same year, she was featured on "After Love" from Diddy's album Press Play which was originally written for Danity Kane. She also wrote "Right Now" for Danity Kane as well as "Help", the second single from Lloyd Banks' Rotten Apple.
In 2007, Hilson made several appearances on Timbaland's solo effort, Shock Value where she featured heavily on the singles "The Way I Are" and "Scream" and the tracks "Miscommunication" and "Hello". Furthermore, she was featured on the track "Lost Girls" on Rich Boy's debut album and its second single "Good Things" and was credited as a writer and backing vocalist on Britney Spears' album Blackout. She also worked on Spears' follow-up "Circus", but the tracks didn't appear on the album.
A promotional video for her song "Where Did He Go" was released in 2008 and she went on to further promote herself as a solo artist on "Get It Girl", a track produced by Timbaland & Danja and recorded for a Verizon ringtone promotion and available also through iTunes.
She also played the lead role in Usher's music video for "Love in This Club", (as well as co-writing its "Pt. II" remix) appeared as one of the "independent women" in Ne-Yo's music video for "Miss Independent" and appeared briefly on Nelly's "Party People" music video wearing a T-Shirt with the slogan 'Hip Hop aint dead'. She soon after featured on Nas' debut single from his controversial album Untitled, "Hero".
After many pushbacks, Hilson's debut solo album In a Perfect World... has now been set for an early 2009 release. The album's first single was "Energy" and its music video was released July 14, 2008. "Energy" has peaked at a low #78 on the Billboard Hot 100.
A second single "Return The Favor" features Timbaland was released officially as a digital download on October 7, 2008 and the video, directed by Melina, premiered on October 23, 2008. In the meantime, she also featured on Chris Brown's single "Superhuman" and Kardinal Offishall's 2008 single "Numba 1 (Tide Is High)", which was originally featured Rihanna. This single failed to chart on the Hot 100.
The track "Turnin Me On" features rapper Lil' Wayne and was released as the third official single as a digital download on November 25. The video, which was directed by Erik White after he and Hilson met on the set of the "Superhuman" video, premiered on November 20, 2008. "Turnin Me On" has so far peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and recently hit #2 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Hilson's most successful single as well as her first Top 50 single in the U.S.. It also peaked as the #1 Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop track. "Turnin Me On" also stood as the #1 video on BET's 106 & Park for about a week and currently is the #5 video request on that show, flucuating between the Top 5.
Recently, Keri Hilson's track "Alienated" was played exclusively on UK radio station Kiss 100 after winning the Fresh 40 mixtape deck battle with 51% against Maino's "All The Above".
It was announced on March 10th that the video for "Knock You Down"(featuring Ne-Yo & Kayne West) was in production and would be released as the fourth single.
Hilson's music has been favorably received, appearing on list of "Top Year Singles" with the songs, "Energy" and "Turnin Me On". The first was on Blender magazine list of the "The Top 144 Songs of 2008", at #61, and the latter was on Vibe magazine's "The 80 Best Songs of '08" at #67. Vibe also praised her voice and called her "ridiculously hot".
In 2010 saw the birth of No Boys Allowed and comes out on the 21st of December 2010. The First Single was Breaking Points and received positive and negative reviews, however failed to chart well. The second single Pretty Girl Rock saw more success and went on to chart respectably well. The song got that much attention that a official remix was made featuring Kanye West, which made the album too. The Suspected third Single is The Way You Love Me and a full length video (short film) appeared on Vevo. The video got mixed reviews, one side saying the video was a side to Keri that had never saw before (a more seductive side). However, some said that this side was too out there and was a bit too much.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I been telling you not now
But baby come and give it to me
Cause I can tell by the way that you move
That you're the one who can give it to me yeah
So come on let's move through the crowd
So we can find ourselves some privacy
And when I get you all to myself I promise
When you watch me
[Chorus:]
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Put your hands on my body aye
Love the way you make my body say
Aye aye aye
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake wind and roll
Shake wind and roll
[Verse 2: Keri Hilson]
Looking like you've seen a beautiful ghost
She must have been a sight to see
Cause you got your mouth wide open
And you're sweating like a 100 degrees
But it's not a ghost your body can't handle you watching me
And one more move I'ma make you drop to your knees
When I...
[Chorus]
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Put your hands on my body aye aye aye
Love the way you make my body say
Aye aye aye
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
[Bridge: Keri Hilson]
Baby I'm loving how it feels
Looking in your eyes
Ooh it sends me chills
All down my spine
But now the song is done
You can have another one
But first you gotta pay to see me
[Verse 4: Nelly]
I've gotta pay how much?
Hundred thousand dollars, two hundred thousand you name it
Beamer Benz or Bentley Bugatti body you claim it
And all of it depends on the way you shakin' your anus
Had to valet park it to the red carpet, I'll make you famous
Oh look you fancy, ha!
Lil' mama have reindeer Bambi, ha
I stay in my plane, Meyer Lansky, ha
I'm 69 writing my nasty mind, n-n-n-nasty mind
And you could play with it, play with it and you gon' beat it
How your neck split it you say get it (And I'm gon' get it girl)
Let me see you shake it girl while you control it bring it around
Take your cell phone, you saying "nah" when it's goin' down.
[Chorus]
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Put your hands on my body aye
Love the way you make my body say
Aye aye aye
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll (aye, aye)
Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll (aye, aye)
Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll (aye, aye)
Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll
["Let You Down":]
Baby you didn't really needed my loving
Not the way I needed yours
I was only tryna keep it open
Now you're gonna slam the door
Led me to believe we were together
You were on a different plan
Cause when things were changing for the better
You became a different man
If I was you
I never would have left you in the cold in the first place
Oh baby
And if I was you
I'd be really tryna make you turn on the one way
Oh babe
Said you let me down
Said you let me let me let me let me let me down
Ay you let me let me down
Yeah you let me let me let me let me let me down
Said you let me let me down
Let me down
A real man wouldn't have done it like that
No boys allowed!
In "Lose Control" by Keri Hilson, the singer is talking about giving in to her feelings and desires for a particular person. She acknowledges that she has been telling this person "not now" for a while, but she can no longer resist the desire to be with them, and she wants them to give themselves to her. She asks this person to come with her through the crowd to find some privacy, where she can fully show him how she moves and make it hard for him to breathe. In the chorus, she asks him to shake, wind, and roll with her and let themselves lose control. She then says she loves the way he makes her body feel and encourages the person to escalate their physical intimacy and put their hands all over her.
In verse two, Keri notes that the person's mouth is wide open, and he is sweating as if he has seen a beautiful ghost, but it is not a ghost that his body can't handle—he is overwhelmed by watching her move. She promises that one more move and she can make him drop to his knees. In the bridge, Keri talks about how much she loves how the person makes her feel and says the song is over, but if he wants more, he has to pay to see her. The song ends with a guest verse by Nelly, in which he raps about how much he is willing to pay to see the woman shake her body and make him feel good.
