"Paradise" is a rap–R&B song written by American rapper-songwriter LL Cool J, American producer-songwriters Jean-Claude "Poke" Olivier and Samuel "Tone" Barnes, and American singer-songwriter Amerie for LL Cool J's ninth studio album, 10 (2002). Released in early 2003 as the album's second single, the song—which features Amerie—also appears on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Deliver Us from Eva, in which LL Cool J stars alongside Gabrielle Union. Singer Tweet was originally slated to provide vocals but they instead went with Amerie. "Paradise" samples Keni Burke's 1982 smooth jazz hit "Rising to the Top", written by Burke, Norma Jean Wright, and Allan Felder.
