F.A.M.E. track listing

"Look at Me Now" is a song by American recording artist Chris Brown, featuring American rappers Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, released as the second single from Brown's fourth studio album F.A.M.E. on February 1, 2011. It was written by Brown, Diplo, Jean Baptiste, Ryan Buendia, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and Afrojack. The song was produced by Diplo and Afrojack, and was co-produced by Free School. Musically, "Look at Me Now" is a "Dirty south-inspired" hip hop song that features "thumping bass, spacy synth and horn jam sounds."[1]

Critical reception towards the song was positive, where critics noted it as the standout track on the album, and praised Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne's rap verses. "Look at Me Now" proved to be successful in the United States, where it reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Brown's highest chart position since "Forever" (2008). It also reached number one on the Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. Internationally, the song charted in Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

An accompanying music video was directed by Colin Tilley and filmed in Los Angeles, California. It features numerous scenes of Brown, Busta Rhymes, and Lil Wayne in a smoke-filled, graffiti-covered parking garage, where a Step Up-type dance-off is held. The video received a positive response from critics for displaying various colors and intricate routines performed by Brown and several dancers. The song won three awards at the 2011 BET Awards for Best Collaboration, Viewer's Choice and Video of the Year. Several artists have covered the song and released their own remixes, including Karmin, Justin Bieber, Trey Songz and Da Brat.

Background and release

"Look at Me Now" was written by Chris Brown, Diplo, Jean Baptiste, Ryan Buendia, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and Afrojack,[2][3] and was produced by Diplo and Afrojack, and co-produced by Free School.[3] The song was recorded and mixed by Brian Springer at The Record Plant—a studio in Los Angeles, California.[3] "Look at Me Now" was released for digital download on February 1, 2011,[4] and was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States on February 8.[5] In an interview with Vibe magazine, Diplo revealed that when he was first asked to put the song together, he thought that "Look at Me Now" was not for an official release, saying: "I knew that I was working on something for a Chris Brown record, but I thought it was for a mixtape... When I did the beat, I gave it to one of his writers. Then Busta Rhymes got on it and I was like, 'Okay, this is going to be a club record.' And then when Wayne got on it 'Look at Me Now' became a radio record. It just took off from there."[6]

"Look at Me Now" is a "dirty south-inspired" hip hop song that features American rappers Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.[7][8] According to Chad Grischow from IGN, the song features "thumping bass, spacy synth and horn jam sounds."[1] Electronic background mixes are also present in the song.[9] Over a beat that evokes Cali Swag District's 2010 single "Teach Me How to Dougie", "Brown sings that he's still riding high (in a yellow Lamborghini, to boot) before venturing off into a typically tasteless discussion of his manhood", according to staff members from Idolator.[10] Jon Caramanica from The New York Times also wrote that on the song, Brown "double-time-raps about stealing girlfriends."[11] Akshay Bhansali from MTV News wrote that "Look at Me Now" features "a fast-rapping flurry of awesome self-indulgence courtesy of Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne and Chris, with an eerie downtempo beat cooked up by chefs Afrojack and Diplo."[12] Afrojack told MTV News that the song was the product of a beat he passed to Diplo. "Yeah, Diplo called me... He was like, 'We are in the studio right now, and we are gonna do a track on the beat.' And I was like, 'OK, whatever. Have fun.'"[12]

Critical reception

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times gave "Look at Me Now" a positive review, praising Diplo and Afrojack's "fabulous, insidiously catchy production" and wrote that the song was the highlight on F.A.M.E..[11] Hannah Ash of The Harber Herald called "Look at Me Now" her "favourite track" on the album and wrote, "This song has boss bass mixed with astounding skill in electronic background mixes and demonstrates fantastic raps from all the artists involved."[9] Tom Howard of Yahoo! Music wrote that the song was "the album's standout track... which benefits from some truly excellent bleepy production and a vocal savagery lacking anywhere else."[13] Joanne Dorken of MTV UK called it an "uptempo dance-floor filler", also writing that it was one of the standout tracks on the album "with its unforgettable beats."[14] Sean Fennessey of The Washington Post called the track a "space-age sonic bender" and wrote that it's "the most prominent of Brown's surprisingly deft, if extraneous, attempts at rap."[15]

Ed Easton Jr. of radio station WNOW-FM called the song a "cocky and hip hop based song" and commented that Brown's ability to rap on "Look at Me Now" was not close to Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes' level.[8] Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine could not imagine why Brown would want to share the song with Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, stating "One alone would've been enough to point up just how little personality he exudes on his own tracks, but putting both on 'Look at Me Now' ironically renders him invisible."[16] Bri LaPelusa of UR Chicago called the song "the most gangsta" track on F.A.M.E., and wrote "the abruptly homophobic/misogynistic lyrics and elementary rhyming from Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne dampen the song's appeal."[7] Chad Grischow of IGN wrote, "Brown tries his hand at rapping on the out-of-place 'Look at Me Now', and is left in the dust by Lil Wayne and, suddenly resurgent, Busta Rhymes."[1] Staff members of Idolator criticized Brown for trying to sound like a second-class Soulja Boy Tell 'Em and praised Busta Rhymes' "razor sharp verse" as the song's highlight.[10]

Music video

Background

The accompanying music video for "Look at Me Now" was directed by Colin Tilley and filmed in Los Angeles, California on February 16, 2011.[40] Images from the shoot were released online the next day, as one of the images showed Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes standing on top of an ambulance car in front of an industrial building, while another image showed the DeLorean DMC-12 sports car from the 1985 film, Back to the Future.[40] The video premiered online on March 9, 2011.[41][42] Brown spoke about the video in an interview with MTV News, saying,

With the concept of "Look at Me Now" you know this video is kind of like my first rap kind of video, but I wanted to do old school; [well] not really old school, but like back in the day, when I was just growing up as a kid. [I wanted the video to have a] '90s type feel [and] big, baggy clothes. [It's] abstract, a lot of art and graffiti. I tried to blend all those components into one [and] make it fun and exciting.[43]

The image shows Brown with several dancers, performing intricate routines, which were praised by critics. Additionally, red lights are visible, which were also praised due to the contrast the colorful lasers added to the video.

Synopsis

The video begins with scenes of Brown wearing a mirrored mask inside a giant birdcage, before switching to a dance routine in a smoke-filled, graffiti-covered parking garage. In between these scenes, the video shows a Step Up-type dance-off in the parking garage.[44] When Brown raps his verse, he is seen standing next to Rhymes, wearing horn-rimmed glasses, a red Brooklyn cap, and a white baseball jersey, which was the signature look of Mars Blackmon from the 1986 film, She's Gotta Have It.[43] Rhymes then raps his verse after Brown's, standing beside him and later on the stairs in the parking garage. Wayne's verse soon follows after, with scenes of him rapping in front of the DeLorean DMC-12 sports car, and also on top of an ambulance car. The video also features cameo appearance from Kevin McCall, Birdman and Mack Maine. Birdman and Maine appear when Lil Wayne is performing his verse.

Reception

Brad Wete from Entertainment Weekly wrote that in the video, "Busta's rapid fire flow and Weezy's frenetic verse pretty much blow Chris' off the track."[45] He also added that what Brown "lacks lyrically he more than makes up for with his dance skills."[45] Ed Easton Jr. from WXRK wrote that the video was "cool and fun to watch", and added that "the random array of colors displayed by Breezy and company definitely keeps you locked in as a viewer."[46] Amanda Hensel from PopCrush called Brown's dance moves, in the video, "game-changing", and wrote, "the video lays a solid ground for Brown's potential big comeback to the scene."[47] Becky Bain from Idolator criticized the video for having the same concept as many other music videos in the past.[44] In December 2011, Latifah Muhammad of The Boombox placed the video at number seven on her list of the Best Videos of 2011, writing that "The music video was an ode to old school rap, with Chris tapping into his inner-Fresh Prince by way of his colorful wardrobe."[48] The video won Video of the Year at the 2011 BET Awards,[20] and Best Hip Hop Video at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards.[21] At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, it was nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Collaboration.[49] At the 38th People's Choice Awards, the video was nominated for Favorite Music Video.[50]

Live performances

During Brown's visit to Australia for his F.A.M.E. Tour, he made a guest appearance at Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber's concert at the Acer Arena in Sydney on April 28, 2011, where they performed "Look at Me Now" together.[51] For the performance, Bieber covered Busta Rhyme's verse.[52] On June 26, 2011, Brown performed the song at the 2011 BET Awards, where he opened his performance with his single "She Ain't You", while wearing a gray suit with voluminous pant legs and a cape fashioned out of a jacket.[53] He then performed "Look at Me Now", as a group of dancers in similarly street black hoodies joined him on stage. For the performance, Brown switched his outfit to a black jumpsuit. Rhymes later appeared from a brightly lit cube flanked by dancers in eerie, transparent masks illuminated by blinking lights. Wearing a black jacket with enormous, ridged sleeves, Rhymes dropped the microphone after performing his verse and walked off the stage. Brown ended the performance with "Paper, Scissors, Rock", a song from F.A.M.E..[53]

Remixes and cover versions

American R&B singer Trey Songz released a remix of "Look at Me Now" via Twitter on February 4, 2011.[54] In his version, Songz asks Brown why he didn't call him to be part of the song.[54] A So So Def remix of the song, featuring American female rapper Da Brat, was released online via Rap-Up on April 13, 2011.[55] In April 2011, pop duo Karmin uploaded a video of them performing a cover version of "Look at Me Now" onto YouTube.[56] Within three days of its release, the video had been viewed over 560,000 times.
