'With You' was released as the third single from Brown's second studio album Exclusive (2007), after 'Wall to Wall' and 'Kiss Kiss' (2007). Before its official single release, the song was first released to digital retailers in certain territories on November 2, 2007, through Zomba Recordings, as a promotional single.^[2] More than a month later, on December 4, 2007, Jive Records and Zomba Recordings serviced the song to rhythmic crossover radio in the United States. They later solicited to contemporary hit radio on January 8, 2008.^[3] On March 4, 2008, an extended play for 'With You' was released to digital retailers in certain countries, including the United States, featuring the original song and two other remixes by Tracy Young and Kovas.^[4] Another extended play was released in selected countries on March 14, 2008, containing the original version and four other remixes.^[5] On March 21, 2008, 'With You' was released as a digital single in several countries, including Belgium, France, Ireland and Norway.

Composition[edit]

'With You' is a 'folksy' R&B song.^[7] According to the music sheet published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, 'With You' utilizes styles of urban and contemporary R&B music and has a moderate tempo of 86 beats per minute.^[8] It is written in a key of E♭ major while Brown's vocals range from E♭₄ to B♭₅ The song follows a basic sequence of E♭5-E♭maj7-A♭7-B♭ as its chord progression.^[8] It consists of a slow stuttering beat and an acoustic guitar arrangement that has garnered comparisons to that present in Stargate's other produced song, Beyoncé's 2006 hit 'Irreplaceable'.^[9]Kelefa Sanneh of New York Times said the song could be a cover of 'Irreplaceable',^[10] while Nick Levine of Digital Spy called the two songs 'kissing cousins'.^[7] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune felt that the song 'openly mimics 'Irreplaceable' right down to the acoustic guitar riff.'^[11] Lyrically, 'With You' is written about teenage love, presented in the lyrics 'And now I know I can’t be the only one/ I bet there’s hearts all over the world tonight / With the love in their life who feel the way I feel when I’m with you.'^[12]

Music video[edit]

The music video was shot in Los Angeles, California on November 20, 2007. It premiered on music video channels MTV, BET, and Fuse TV during the week of December 3, 2007. In a November 8, 2007 interview with MTV, Brown stated that he co-directed the video as well. 'And it shows me more solo. Like, it shows the grown side of Chris – it doesn't show the kiddie side. 'Cause with this album, I wanted to blend, I wanted to do all different visuals of me. The first [video] 'Wall to Wall,' the acting, the vampires, the spookiness, then you go to 'Kiss, Kiss,' that had the little goofy part, now this one is solo, the main [performer] is me. Me freestyle dancing – just showing people me naturally, not a choreographed routine, just me dancing and showing you what I'm capable of. But at the same time, I was just having fun with the camera, and just one-on-one time with me and my audience.'^[13] The video was quite popular in American television, reaching number 1 on BET's 106 & Park for 6 days, and staying on the countdown for 38 days. It has also reached number 1 on MTVTRL for 10 days, replacing Flo Rida's 'Low' and finally retired at number 1 after it stayed on the countdown for 35 days. The music video won the accolade for 'Best Male Video' at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.^[14]

Critical reception[edit]

Bill Lamb of About.com awarded a four and a half star rating, praising the song's instant warmth of the guitar-based arrangement, Brown's romantic vocals and as a perfect slow dance option. Lamb however disregarded its 'simplistic swoony lyrics'. He concluded his review, saying 'With You' helps prove that Chris Brown is not only an amazingly talented dancer, he can truly communicate to an audience vocally as well. Look for this song as a key choice at romantic events throughout 2008 and beyond.'^[15] Erinn V. Westbrook of The Harvard Crimson wrote positively about the single, saying 'It’s a bit sappy, but Brown comes off surprisingly genuine. If you’re like me, you may actually fall in love with the teenage vocalist.'^[12]

Andy Kellman of Allmusic named it one of the album's highlights.^[16] Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a three star rating, calling it a 'pretty, folk-tinged R&B ballad' and commenting that 'The lyrics won't be troubling the Ivor Novello judges any time soon ('With every kiss and every hug, you make me fall in love'), but its chorus is pretty enough to make us turn a deaf ear.'^[7]Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times commented that song borrows shamelessly from Beyonce's 2006 single 'Irreplaceable'.^[10] Norman Mayers of Prefix Magazine said that the ballads on Exclusive 'suffer from lame, redundant, and derivative production', citing 'With You' as an example, commeenting that Stargate recycles Beyonce's 'Irreplaceable'.^[17] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine commented that Stargate used the same formula for 'Irreplaceable' on 'With You', saying that it 'is in serious need of replacing'.^[18]
