About Lay It on Me

"Lay It on Me" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Rowland featuring two rap verses from American rapper Big Sean. Taken from her third studio album Here I Am (2011), the contemporary R&B song was written by Sean and Ester Dean while Hit-Boy co-wrote and produced the song with a piano-driven melody. Laced with elements of 808s and high NRG beats, "Lay It on Me" tells the story of Rowland describing sexual encounters with her lover. The song was served to US rhythmic radio on August 16, 2011 by Universal Motown as the album's second single, and later in 2012 as the album's fourth international single. It was met by a warm response from critics, who generally praised the sex appeal of the song, progressive production and suggestive lyrics. "Lay It On Me" has peaked in the top-fifty of the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In the UK, Lay It On Me failed to match the success of its predecessor 'Down For Whatever' which became a top-ten hit. This was due to a lack of promotion and airplay.
