Get acquainted with a snippet pulled from Chris Brown‘s forthcoming smash, ‘They Don’t Know’– featuring vocals from none other than R&B icon Aaliyah.
Following the star’s success with ‘Fine China’, ‘Know’ touches down days after its video was shot here and weeks before its supporting album ‘X’ hits Pop shores via RCA.
Check it out below…

Sounds More Like Ciara’s ” If I were a Boy” to me.
Leave aaliyah Alone and stop using her desperately to get Attention , Please.
How “Fine China” is Doing Btw ?
Blake is better.
You’re kidding right?
No I’m not, name one song that Chris sounds better than him on.
Isn’t that obvious, Elijah can sing, Chris can dance. There’s no need to start s***.
Don’t think Chris can’t sing because he doesn’t sing live sometimes, he’s a much better singer than Elijah.
Are we really asking whose a better singer between Chris and Elijah?
I agree 🙂
@FentySoSnatched A seat awaits you m’lady. You are the CHIEF s*** stirrer in here, you and that b**** Icki are the worst.
Of course Elijah sings better than Chris. That’s like asking if Mariah sings better than Beyonce.
Chris Brown is a Great Dancer Live With Some Dance-Pop Hits.
I don’t use his Live Vocals or his R&B ballads Tbh , I use ” Beautiful People/Don’t Wake Me Up” the most and they are Auto-tuned!
Elijah Blake’s “X.O.X” Is good , But I won’t Put Him on a Pedestal Just Yet.
They can both sing. End of story.
Why are we having this conversation? The only one Elijah can’t out sing is Miguel.
Are you guys serious? Chris Brown can’t sing. At all. His voice is pure auto-tune and majority of his performances are lip synced. He is a great performer though. Like a male version of a younger Britney Spears only with more songwriting credibility.
“If I were a boy”? Do you mean “Like a boy”?
Anyways, I agree. These desperate fools are so eager for attention that they have to put a deceased woman’s vocals in the song.
Leave that girl alone already, damn!
yeah , I know it is “Like a boy” , but i was just …. Ugh …. Nvm.
yeah , but using ‘aaliyah’ for attention became trendy , i’m not amused by that one.
So Jay-Z & Kanye were desperate fools eager for attention when they used Otis Redding a dead man song to get that #1 hit. Sit your cupcake ass all the way down
Chris is a singer?
1D are straight?
The fact that you’re defending Chris is just so sad hun. You like to see your favs heartbroken?
@BrandNuStar Miguel can blow but Blake’s belts are stronger.

The random Aye’s in the background make the track sound crowded I can’t really appreciate it yet. I hope he performs this s*** tonight though unless he pre record fine china cause my dawg need to show out. That young n**** than lost too much respect from the general public.
This is from the video shoot. So the ‘ayes’ won’t be on the track.
I heard rumours he might use an Aaliyahgram…ooooo ooooo! I hope he does perform it
People need to stop acting like they care aboutartsist so much that there cant be tributes! I wont make this Drake vs CB but people are saying its better then enough said…lets hope CB doesnt take shots etc…I hope Timbaland is involved and the family was consulted.
Thanks Ri-H** for that!
I only like it because Aaliyah is featured on it & even then, I don’t really like it because she isn’t here to vow for it.
Ugh. It could have been better >>>
R.I.P Aaliyah.
*Plays ‘Miss You’
judging a 2 minute clip ok…fans of her will support it regardless…especially if it comes out the family gave it the green light.
Wait, Fine China was a success?…..*Crickets*
And how Original sampling Aaliyah, like….really?
I can’t with CB, him and Ciara both mind as well hang it up and be judges on a dancing competition show, THAT would be better for them then constantly flopping…there NOT gonna be music icons by any means anyway.
Fine China
RnB songs- Top 10
RnB hip/hop- Top 10 hit
BB hot100- 40(hopefully it climbs)
Radio OVERALL US- 16(over 60 million audience, this important)
So I dont think it has peaked yet. As for this song we will see what Aaliya’s family say.
Rihanna fan … too obvious, and btw, they are NOT flopping! what has Ciara has to do here exactly?? They already are music icons , not everybody can sell massively doing cheap dance music!
How original is Aaliyah? WTF? If Aaliyah wasn’t around there would be no Timbaland and Missy. SHE GOT THEM ON. No one would know s*** about them if it wasn’t for her having them produce her second album. She wanted something unique and different. And how many black female R&B singers were on that dark gothic s*** back in 2001 with snakes and s***. Get the f*** outta here with that busllshit.

“Fine China” a success my ass. Song flopped to the pits of hell everywhere except 106 & Park.
And he needs to stop using Aaliyah for attention.
shut your face…all of a sudden you are concerned about Aaliyah?
Are you concerned about Felon getting outsold by Lana and everyone else in almost every f****** country?
So I guess Jay-Z & Kanye used Otis Redding was for attetion also
correction attention also
Oh sit down and shut up, you talk as if your up there sitting next to him on the 106 & Park couch. People on this blog need to stop using the word FLOP, it’s a damn shame.
his album collection will just sound like one full song…everything is generic R&B…a microwave hit for the moment!
Microwave just like Beyonce & Rihanna’s musi. F****** fast food bull s***.
music
Will these thugs just let the precious babygirl rest?
Tell that s*** to Jay-Z & Kanye when they used Otis Redding song that went #1 for weeks. Hating ass m************. Just because it’s Chris now it’s about R.I.P.
TELL THAT S*** TO JAY-Z & KANYE!!
Desperate punk.
YEA DESPERATE PUNK JUST LIKE JAY-Z & KANYE WHO USED OTIS REDDING TO MAKE A NUMBER 1 HIT.
Not sure if I’m feeling this one.
. . Didn’t Aaleyighah–whatever the name is– the one who died in the 3rd week of August 1925 or something?
Seriously, I’m confused AF TBH..
So many shades of pathetic as f***.
That shade was weak and tired.
This era for CB is confusing me. I thought he said this was going to focus more on his vocal growth. Fine Chine was a decent start…..it was different. However, he’s not really promoting it. The album comes out really soon, so I don’t really have a lot of faith in it if this is all he’s giving me.
Think You Know seems more like a tacky PR scheme to get people interested in the project. It has Aaliyah on the track so of course people are going to be interested in it: whether they approve or disapporve of CB using her on the track. The only reason I bothered to listen to it was because I wanted to see how he used Baby Girl on the track.
Somewhere out there, Drake is seething. Aaliyah is his girl lol.
The song sounds promising though. I see it doing well on urban. I believe all the random yelling in the background is coming from the extras in the video. Sounds like someone recorded random bits and pieces from the video shoot.
The noise in the background? This song is only a snippit
snippet
Re-read my last sentence babe. 🙂
if you guys dont know, he sampled the chorus to his song from jon b.’s they dont know…..this song is mad unoriginal but i guess thats what you gotta do if you need a good hit
Why is he using Aaliyah now?
Drake.
Lol. Yeah. It was rhetorical question.
Why did Jay-Z & Kanye use Otis Redding in their rap song?
Certainly not for s*** stirring, bitchy purposes.
I thought CB was using unreleased Aaliyah, but this is just a verse taken from another one of her songs. I’m underwhelmed, and it doesn’t sound like anything she’d be on. The beat is too much. Her music was usually simple because her voice wasn’t overpowering. Maybe I’ll like it when I get the HQ version since I like Chris well enough.
Aaliyah’s music wasn’t simple. I think that you need to either listen to or revisit her albums. If you’re saying that she wasn’t a powerhouse vocalist, fair enough, but the beats and construction of her songs were not simple. Are you that somebody isnt’ a simple song
I don’t necessarily mean a simple composition. Her music was never overdone. I own each album by her and at one point, I was a “stan”. I loved Aaliyah because her music overall was very relaxed and smooth. That was her style. Even her dancing was smooth and fluid. She wasn’t the crunk, gaudy-beat type of singer.
He just chose the wrong word, I’m sure he meant that her misic was more crisp and well produced.
Aaliyah vocals was like Ciara, Janet Jackson and their beats on a song worked with their voices.
Im just waiting for the full song realy, I hope its good and one thing I will say is I would be disappointed if he used this to spite drake but if Timb is involved then maybe I can be ok.
What I have witnessed is that real fans of an artist(especially deceased) love to hear their voice being played on today’s radio regardless who’s paying tribute if its done classy and right, doesnt tarnish the name I wouldnt have a problem with it.
I’m good. You can keep that.
Chris Brown??? Didn’t bother listening
Don’t bother listening to Beyonce either (children story) and I really love Bey but that song is qestionable?
Just get back to Rihanna already. You’re slippin’ badly.
Garbage.
I like it so far.
And it would of been great if Aaliyah was present to do a dance part in the music video with Chris.
The only thing I am worrying about is if Chris Brown made a Drake reference in this song, I think it would be terrible if he added Aaliyah on a track to diss someone.
I’m still hoping that do something crazy with this music video by having Chris Brown & Aaliyah (As a Hologram) dancing together or something lol.
We Miss You Aaliyah
I like what i hear so far. Usually i dont like Chris’s music, but i liked Fine China and this sounds okay so far. I’m glad Aaliyah’s music is being sampled and i hope that people continue to do it with artists that have passed on to keep their music alive but as long as it’s done tastefully
This song is alright. Fine China is better in my opinion.
I like it keep doin u Breezy f*** all these got damn negative
Ass people. S*** u don’t need attention if anything u keeping
Her legacy goin’ and that’s dope now it’s ok for people to use MJ
Why not Aaliyah smh wow think before y’all say s***. Damn
Grow the f*** up and get a life. Leave this man alone.
I LOVE the vibe to the song! Good to hear Aaliyah on a fresh track! Good job CB, i think he’s starting to realize his potential!
P.s. Its always the dam navy talking about chart positions! *yawns*
I am not a chris brown fan, however i am glad he is putting aaliyah’s name out there.
This song was originally recorded with another rnb group.
The only think Chris Brown did is add his vocals on instead of dru hill (i think its them)
One thing i didnt like about the drake is that he tried to change the beats to the song he out out,
This one with chris brown is more realistic because he just added his vocals to the same song.
I prefer this one.

Who let this stupid c#nt sample the amazing Aaliyah. I hope his next album flops HARD!
i’m a fan of chris brown but his music doesn’t convince me this time around. fine china was okay but nothing new, i think he’s more creative than that but he just has to focus on his music and let the music speak for itself and stop with all the drama
Then your not a Chris fan? Ask the Navy about being a true fan. Even if they don’t like what Rih is doing you wll never hear them sayin it just like you did.
Cut the bull @Tallb you are NOT a Chris Fan
just because i don’t support EVERYTHING he does, doesn’t mean i’m not a fan. i have many songs of him on rotation but i am sceptical about this new project.
I rather just have the original version with Digital Black. I miss Aaliyah tho, my favorite since 1996. “R&B icon” Damn right! Princess of R&B, Queen of Urban Pop.
I like it.
I need to here the CDQ version but I love it; Aaliyah sounds amazing.
I absolutely loved Aaliyah when she was alive and while people tend to get it twisted regarding the whole ‘she wasn’t a powerhouse so she couldn’t sing debate’, hearing her voice again just reminds me why I preferred her to every other chick in the game past and present. Her voice was gorgeous and charismatic…, she caressed your ear, while the bulk of today’s best singers Xtina, Beyonce, JHud, Jessie J etc. have been lead tyo believe that battering the ear into submission is the only way to prove you can sing. Aaliyah could belt when she wanted to (see: Giving Up) but mostly she just really knew how to convey an emotion. But trust me when I say that ‘Restraint’ is one of the most under-used skills in the modern game.
re: the track I have to say she is the best thing about it. Tbh, as irritating as Drake’s obsession is with her is (and CB’s use at this point is suspect proven otherwise) 40-40’s sound does remind me of her at times enough for me to see him as a genuine fan of what she brought to music. However, Aaliyah despite being roughly around their age was infinitely more sophisticated than either of them and she was never gassed by her success unlike either of them.
Huh…..bye Chris. You just lost your touch. The music as of Graffiti and beyond just ain’t it… R.I.P. Chris’s career
