With You

Chris Brown’s “With You” (2007) is a tender pop/R&B love song that drew comparisons to Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable” for its acoustic guitar-driven beat and breezy feel. On the track, Brown sweetly declares devotion to his girl, making for a romantic sing-along chorus (“With you, with you, with you…”). It resonated strongly, peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100 and becoming one of his signature ballads. “With You” showed a softer, more mature side of Chris Brown’s artistry at the time and was a staple slow-dance song at events, solidifying his status as a teenage heartthrob with genuine crossover appeal.
