Chris Brown Readies ‘Pass Out’ As Next Single

Published: Wednesday 9th Dec 2009 by Sam

During a recent playback of his comeback effort ‘Graffiti’ for MTV, Chris Brown confirmed that the Eva Simons-assisted ‘Pass Out’ will serve as the LP’s next single along with ‘Sing Like Me’.

While ‘Pass Out’ will be serviced to Pop radio and TV stations, ‘Sing Like Me’ (the album’s standout cut IMO) will receive the Urban treatment. {Source}

Major props to whoever is selecting Chris’ singles for this project, as each decision made has been logical, well-thought out and all round the best possible pick IMO. An interesting observation, as I can name countless album’s which have faltered, despite having some great material, due to crappy single choices.

In any case, check out ‘Pass Out’ below:

Hit or Miss?

  2. BUY Graffiti December 9, 2009

  3. Lauren December 9, 2009

    lol how appropriate

  4. GRAFFITI DEC 8TH December 9, 2009

    THIS SONG BANGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. SXSW December 9, 2009

    Wrong choice Jive!1 They thought Crawl would do a “With You” on pop radio and it failed everywhere. The Eric Prydz sample on Pass out is dated and corny and nobody knows or cares about Eva Simmons in the US or internationally.

    In Your Arms would be a better Pop Single.

  6. SXSW December 9, 2009

    @Lauren

    Exactly! I can’t wait to hear the domestic violence jokes they will tag to “Pass Out” .

  7. SEAN2009 December 9, 2009

    ANYWAYS FOCUSING ON THE MUSIC & NTH ELSE. I FEEL THE SONG IS A GREAT & FRESH POP DANCE TRACK.

  8. K4kenzo December 9, 2009

    i’ve only seen the tracklist and not heard the album yet but i KNEW Pass Out would get single treatment . prob cause it samples a really famous dance anthem (call on me/Eric Prydz)

  9. wtf December 9, 2009

    oh rihanna stans…instead of bashing chris y dnt u go encourge your bajan model to take singing lessons..you could add more value there…he did i can trnsform ya , where there any jokes??? y’all are dumb and stupid as hell..noone give a f*ck anymore check rihannas flop of a cd..bwahhhhhhhh!!!

    seeing as he will be touring europe early next year, yes pass out would be the ideal single..however on the charts it seems his american audience are liking what i do with plies..i suggest he releses both and starts off 2010 with a bang..his record has so many potential sinlges so he dnt need to worry about releasing both at the same time..POWWWWWWW….graffiti babbbbby…

    i like eva and she had dinner with chris and polow last night..good move eva..i think she has lots of potential in this pop world..she is working on a album and 2010 is shaping out nicely interms on music..if i was miss fenty i would be working on upping my game but highly doubt she has any sense in that pea brain of hers..oh wells when u dnt have talent you rely on……….

  10. MikeNMiami December 9, 2009

    The 2 f*** that run this site is good c*** suckers” Chris stay having they’re mouths stuffed! Lol

  11. Melanie December 9, 2009

    LOL if you dont like this site why come here???

    Anyway Chris is dropping the ball sing like me should not be his next urban single.
    He should be prepping what I do or wait not that song.

    Pass out is for pop radio.
    I still think they wont play it because they still hate him.
    IYA would have been a better choice imo

  12. IH8SAM&TRENT December 9, 2009

    Sam pull chris’s testicles out of your mouth… cause u suckin on them balls hard….

  13. Raychel December 9, 2009

    He should have released famous girl so people would bash him about the lyrics..
    aha sike naw it will do good I guess its a good song

  14. the truth December 9, 2009

    SOUNDS FAMILIAR LIKE ALL THE OTHER S*** THAT’S OUT THERE. AUTO-TUNED AS EXPECTED. DANCE CLUBS WILL EAT IT UP THO…

  15. melzy December 9, 2009

    Falling down is the business…. I hope he never gets back with little ms no talent

    Go chris Go

  16. melzy December 9, 2009

    does anyone know what happened to *********** I miss that site

  17. Johanna Star December 9, 2009

    MikeNMiani…please get a life! That’s all.

  18. Erica December 9, 2009

    I love it!…It’s a HIT!!!

  19. Its Me Again December 9, 2009

    A large part of why this song is good is because it samples HEAVILY from someone else’s music. I don’t know how i feel about that. I can’t really criticize other artists for not writing their own music and then respect the creator of this song.

    But it is good, admittedly, i’ll probably add to my ipod.

  20. DuMMies December 9, 2009

    he’s probably not releasing what i do..as the next single..cuz its bit of an braggin record..so i dont know if he feel fully comfortable releasing that as a single track yet..but i like pass out..its a good song and i like eva

  21. BiiNkDaDoll December 9, 2009

    i think the song is good, just not something i can get into…and i agree riri stan’s go help ya girl out by buyin her .99 cd from the thrift store.

  22. SEAN2009 December 9, 2009

    dead@ chris beating up rihtardation & now he sleeping with sam. I SEE WHY THE RIHANNA STANS ARE MAD.LOL

  23. hihihihihi December 9, 2009

    AND THEY CALL THESE BABY VOCALS TALENT

    RIHANNAS STORNG VOCALS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CHRIS BABY VOICE

  24. Please Dont Stop The Music December 9, 2009

    This song is very creepy because in Rihannas Diane Sawyer interview she said that Chris Brown choked her so hard she almost passed out and then he comes out with a single called PASS OUT>? is this abuser for real?

  25. maskina December 9, 2009

    You all stay keeping ri ri in your mouths, even when she is no way in the post. That is one powerful Bish right there. There’s so much power in her name. Yep I know! to all you silly girls hating rihanna because of the CB incident. Please, Chris wouldn’t even look your way. Hell Chris even started to sing with a caribbean Accent in his Brown skin Girl song. He still loves him some ri ri, so if you think like hating ri is going to get you close to him. You got another thought coming. He don’t know you guys exist, so give it up. Why hate his ex when he still got love for her.

  26. Melanie December 9, 2009

    @Maskina
    Sit down Chris cant say he hates her because the world would come down on him again.
    Listen to every interview hes done after 20/20 he said they are never getting back together.

    Also What I do debuted on the hot 100 haters stay mad.
    Rihanna’s singles falling off the charts her album is weak and is about to go dust this week.

  27. DuMMies December 9, 2009

    why are u posting about Rihanna on a Chris Brown post..like really..get a Life

  28. DuMMies December 9, 2009

    Chris Brown is way more talented then Rihanna..its mad funny how these losers were once riding his d*** hard..then he slapped up Rihanna..paid his dues to society and still having to deal with it mentally from..people that talk so bad about him..like he attacked them personally..man get a Life..if he didnt write Disturbia or came out with Umbrella..ya’ll still wouldnt even know who she was..ya’ll be like ohh..shes that island girl..gimme break..its time for ya’ll to cut away from her p**** hairs..cuz its starting to grown on ya brains..and making ya’ll retarded

  29. Nye December 9, 2009

    sounds too much like “forever” IMO…like it tho

  30. AWOLLUVA December 9, 2009

    He ruined a good song with this piece of garbage that’ll flop just like his last two singles did.

    Next…

  31. DuMMies December 9, 2009

    lmao he last two singles didnt even flop..lmaoooooo

  32. Didnt See The Signs December 9, 2009

    We should have known he was an abuser because Chris Brown had a song called Cinderella.

    “You can be my cinderella, ella, ella”

    Cinderella was abused by her step mother and step sisters so it was a sign that Chris Brown was an abuser since he wanted girls to be his cinderella

  33. delroy December 9, 2009

    tbh i like sing like me way more than pass out. might be the fact that i liked Call on me (the dance version) when it was out. Plus Sing like me is one of the only tracks that i really like from CB

  34. Nicky December 9, 2009

    @ DUMMIES….

    YOUR NAME FITS!

    His last 2 singles did flop you dumbo! lol

    Crawl #68 with Video
    Transform #20 after many weeks on HOT 100 and “comeback” video LMAO

    FLIP FLOPPERAY YYYYYYYYYY HOOOOOOOOOO HAYYYYYYYYYYYY
    FLIP FLOPPERAYYYYYYYYYYYY HOOOOOOOOO HAAAAAYYYYYYYYY

    This song sounds like a Forever Part 2. NO ARTISTIC GROWTH! FAIL!

  35. bobs December 9, 2009

    Yeah, props to his people – they are doing a great job.. First, release an album when people still hate him. Second, record a crappy album. Third, include a song about blaming Rihanna. And getting the worst reviews for a major label artist this year.

    HITS DAILY DOUBLE is now predicting Chris Brown will sell 80-90k. LESS THAN 1/3 of his last album – AND NO POST ON THIS SITE ABOUT IT AT ALL?!?!?

    We did however, see posts every day about how Rihanna is a failure after TOPPING her sales from her last album, garnering critical acclaim, and releasing a hot album.

    FAIL. FAIL. FAIL.

  36. DizzyGuy19585 December 9, 2009

    Its really not that serious. I mean the beat is similiar but people act like they were jamming to P.Diddy-Mo Money Mo Problems…you b****** will be dancing to it and voguing too…lol.

    I like Chris Brown’s cd. People are straight up bitter about him and Rihanna but its really not important. He is an artists and out of the two his album is much better…I mean lets be serious!

  37. Anon December 9, 2009

    Kind of weak. The source material (the Eric Prydz “Call on Me” sample) is way better. Still, not the worst choice for a single, it could be hot in a club. But I’d rather just hear the original.

    Also, this album is flopping HARD. Like, under 100k first week. You’re going to post on it, aren’t you? (Considering your obsession with sales for some other artists)

    Don’t report only the news that makes “your artists” look better – it’s very amateurish of you Sam.

  38. Nicky December 9, 2009

    90k FOR CHRIS BROWN!!!!?!!!

    MRS. SAM AND MISS TRENT, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?!!!?!!

    WHY NOT POST HOW THE ALBUM IS A FLOP FLOP FLOP LIKE YOU DID RIHANNA??? WHY ? BECAUSE YALL ARE HYPOCRITICAL QUEENS. THE DEFINITION OF F***.

    RIHANNA SOLD 300K WORLDWIDE HER FIRST WEEK OUT THE GATE. 🙂

    CHRIS WILL SELL 120K APPROX. FLOP FLOP FLOP FLIPPITY FLOP FLOP FLOP

  39. nikki December 9, 2009

    people it’s only the 2nd day that Graffiti has been out n u say he’s flopping how n where r u getting riri sold 300,000 gurl stop it was 180,000 her first week and for one week it was .99 cent so please spare me lol get it together Sam ask about Chris graffiti song not about riri so why is her name up and down all these comments what’s funny is u all want him to flop so u can prove riri is a bad bish but u know what she is but only with fashion so please stop it

  40. DuMMies December 9, 2009

  41. bobs December 9, 2009

    Sorry 90k sales AFTER 300k for your last album is a flop. 90k is good if you’re a 5tth place finisher on American Idol.

    Y’all getting ghetto by hanging on to the 99cent coupon that couple be applied to 100 albums on Amazon and saying RiRi sold for that. Only 10k of her sales came from Amazon. Period. But I know you gotta cut those coupons to be happy.

    RiRi is already Gold in the UK (with a #2 single there)…. She took a risk, switched her style, slapped you in the face with a hot ass album.

    Chris? 40/100 on metacritic. Rihanna? 80/100

    My girl is slapping Chris Browns ass IN HALF with his s***** ass wife beater album.

    FAIL. Sorry.

  42. DuMMies December 9, 2009

    and already declaring him a flop..with all the promotion home girl got u think she sold 300k n her first week..in ur dreams..how u get 300k from 180k..u needa go sit in a corner with that bullshid..chris barely had any promotion..and now hes starting to promote his shid..all the interviews he did..had nothing to do with his album..but homegirl been everywhere and yet where her sales at..Like real talk..idont see why people calling themselves coming down on Chris Brown..damn u people hating hard..cuz if he never hit that bish..i bet the same people thats dogging his ass..would be the same people..saying how good he is

  43. DuMMies December 9, 2009

    he hasnt been out a week..so umm..i mean shut up..certain artists been out 2weeks and more and still havent gone anywhere..*waits for the waves of re-releases to compensate total wackness*

  44. RIHANNA THE BANANA December 9, 2009

    OMG @ Call On Me..in europe erryonce k nows that song and apart from the Call On Me at the beginning the song is broing…its not have the magic forever had

  45. KodieBlue December 9, 2009

    First of all @ Maskins! the only reason he did a Carribean accent on this song was because Sean Paul was on it. And I wouldn’t necessarily call that a Carribeean accent Sounded a bit Jamaican to me. And if it had anything at all to do with Rihanna, its to show that he can do the accent better, and he aint even from there.. F*** Haters.. His album has Worldwide Crossover appeal. By doing songs like pass out and Browned skin girl he’s giving everyone something.. And generating a larger fanbase outside of the U.S. at the same time. His fan base and LOYAL followers here have already been established. And who the f*** considers a single in the top twenty spot worldwide a f***** flop? Are you kiddin me? Give me a fucken break! Do you have any idea what it takes to get back to even top 100 from the year of negative attention that has surrounded his life. Everywhere I look on the internet, I see Good things happening for Chris Brown Right Now. For instance, MTV see the bad reviews for what they are! Nothing but a premidated attempt to end someones career in the name of nt being able to get over his mistake. SOmething that Rihanna has asked people to do. Which leads me to this. Why wouldn’t you want to grow with the artist you support, and as she gets over someone’s mistake of assaulting her, you do it too and at the same pace. Yall are stuck on this boys past so bad, you can’t even move forward. Get your legs out the thick mud your trying to tread through, go back to R.D., show her some love, and get off of here spreading more negativity! I bet it hurts to know that Chris is number 2 in album sales on the Itunes Main Charts in the U.S. in just 24 hours, and just went from #10 to #6 in the UK on the main charts as well. Oh and in the album sales R&B category in over 8 countries right now. The U.K. Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and three others. Guess what yo f***** Haters. He’s climbed to number 1 Baby!!!

  46. KodieBlue December 9, 2009

    Well based on all of the negative energy surrounding him and all the hate what happened has generated in his life, to come out selling that much is an upset to many people who don’t understand how to forgive him and are too blind to see that he’s emerging a better person and is taking what he did wrong as a lessond learned..
    Ya know??
    Other than being number two on the itunes Main Chart here in the U.S., and climbing from his debuted of ten to number six on the itunes main chart for the U.K., he is also number one in albums sold in eight counries outside of the U.S. for the most albums sold in the R&B category on the Itunes chart. The U.S. The U.K. Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and two others that make it eight that I don’t remember.. But there on there.
    So Itunes albums sale charts from what they say account for thirty percent of albums sold in and outside of the U.S. so these sale figures on what His new album Graffiti has sold are suppose to be thirty percent of all albums sold. And the reason why I went into a lengthy conversation about this is because, not only is he one of my but many peoples favorite artists, but he has also endeared some of the worst hatred from the world ranging from figures in the record industry to not working with him when he made there single a hit when he was on it, to the common working fan.. And despite claiming he was guilty, and apologizing on numerous occasions, pleading gulity willingly, going to multiple domestic violence counseling classes, keeping what she did wrong out of the picture, the media’s ears, and eyes. And going on a fan appreciation tour, working and generating and donating a good potion of the proceeds to the Jenesee center, an organization for battered women help and shelters, and the rest to Best Buddies, a program that connects memtally challenged people to Regular people friends to help them feel like they fit in and belong, people still continue to call him a woman beater, say that his career is over and he’ll never sell another album again, and there were literally seemingly millions of them online blogging everywhere about this. Nd unfortunately for there sake there still are
    So I started bloggin about four months ago about this in his defense, because these people came off as so hateful based on a human mistake like as if they never do anything wrong..
    And I joined the millions defending him, and raised awareness about his album that alot of radio stations for the longest time this year now have blacklisted..
    I think its six of his songs off of his new album, are the number one most downloaded songs off of itunes single download chart and have reached that point in just five days outside of the u.s. and just one day after release in the u.s…
    And three of them aren;t even official singles off of his album.
    So, I’m patient but looking forward to the end of the week this Friday to see how many albums he sold outside of the U.S. when the report is released, and anxious Next tuesday to see how many he sold in the U.S. As I said before, I have a feeling haters are going to be very surprised!

  47. B@tch Please December 9, 2009

    Chris Brown album is gonna FLOP SO HARD.LMAO

  48. ARTISTK December 9, 2009

  50. Jason December 10, 2009

    Who would want to purchase an album created by a little boy who hits women? Some girls are so stupid as to even give this bad excuse of a man attention. Shame is all i can say, his music has never been very good anyway.
    People should try looking up good male artists like Tinchy stryder, Guvna B and Victizzle.

  51. YUNGBOI December 10, 2009

    I THINK THAT HE SHOULD COME OUT WIT SING LIKE ME DATS MY S***

  52. Symone December 10, 2009

    Honestly I feel that many of you need to calm down. We shall see what the sales are for Chris next week. Afterall a projection is on a GUESS,plus I suspect sabotage by some in the industry with agendas……Chris is doing fine on itunes and he’s doing well outside of America and his cd has not been shipped all over as of yet.

    “The Biggest Hypocrites will always be the Loudest Critics”! Hypocrites often like to harp on the failings of others and they do it loudly and often so that they won’t have time to deal with their own flaws”,so to my fellow Chris Brown fans,remember that!

    Many people who are against Chris are people with unresolved issues with abuse.Either you have men who are against Chris because they didn’t protect their mother or sister from abuse,so in their cowardly stance they now spaz out at Chris.Then you have women that also have issues with a man that hit them on a regular basis,that they project on Chris!

    Remember Chris Brown fans………It takes a really small person who gains false self esteem by putting down or judging other people,so they are too be pitied because we all know that there is no such thing as “a perfect human being”……..

  53. I mean Really? December 10, 2009

    First of all, how the hell is anything in the top twenty of Billboard a flop? You people who are wishing this dude to fail are pathetic and are obvioulsy talking outta your asses right now! ‘Transfrom Ya’ peaked the in top twenty and has been staying strong on the charts for eight weeks. It was hardly a flop! Where as Rih’s ‘RR’ peaked at No 9, but then fell out the next week and continued to fall. ‘Crawl’ just debuted on the charts and has already starting climbing. Being that many radio stations still aren’t playing his music,, he hasn’t been able to perform it anywhere live on a nationally televised program and it still made it to top tweny that is impressive! ‘Transform Ya’ is still No 1 itunes r&b downloads top 20 in itunes 100 downloaded, and “Crawl’ is No 2 on itunes r&b, ‘Forever’ is still No 8 after 2 years being out. His album is No 2 on itunes top downloaded albums and top ten in numerous other countries and # 1 in Australia and Belgium It may not sell as many units as his previous LP initially, but anything over 100,000k is not a flop! With all the obstacles he has, and the way the media continues to butcher his name, he is still doing quite well. He has many potential hit singles such as ‘Wait’ with Trey, or ‘What I do’, ‘Sing Like Me’, ‘Movie”. The album is full out hits, besides ‘Crawl’ he hasn’t released the best material yet!

    I like ‘Sing Like Me’ and it might do well on urban radio, but I don’t think it will be a mainstream hit. “Pass Out’ shouldn’t be released in the US, due to ist title I think it is too risky. I think it will do better in the UK. ‘Forever’ was a huge hit in the US as wll, but “Pass Out’ I think only appeals to the market overseas. I think his next single should be “Wait’ Transform Ya wasn’t the big hit that he probabaly thought it was but ‘Wait’ could be much bigger! I think maybe he is trying to wait to summer to release that, but I think that he should release it now. ‘Movie’ will be a good r&b ballad he could release! I don’t know what he is waiting for, but he needs to start releasing the hits now and stop stalling!

  54. DizzyGuy19585 December 10, 2009

    I really hope Rihanna’s album goes platinum…I went to the store today and got 5 of them for 99 cents each…I’m using them as coasters…lol.

  55. Graffitirainin4gold December 22, 2009

    Just wanted to say, “I Can Transform Ya” is gold over 500K sold. How that for a single on a flop album, so you say? Can’t stop Graffiti even with the sabotaging. Before the Graffiti reign let up singles will be raining Gold all over that mofos.

  56. kenville February 10, 2010

    yup im love this song i kill it @ home! this may go # 1 to hell with yall haters
