See what Twitter University had to share and what Amerie herself thinks of all this love.(one word all caps no meaning except their music) Rolling Stone would eventually name the song one of the best songs of the 2000s decade. It went on to earn Amerie a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. We know it as “Get Right,” which was initially meant for Usher. desperately wanted the song because she had Harrison produce one with a similar sound.

Not to mention the dance-ability of the song was remarkable. At the few parties I attended, the song we most wanted to hear at house parties, birthday shendigs and on our self-created mixes, was Amerie’s “1 Thing.” With the sound of blaring horns, kicking drums and a groove that couldn’t be denied, it was a jam.
