}} "Like This" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Rowland, featuring vocals by rapper Eve. Written by Sean Garrett, Jamal Jones, Elvis "BlacElvis" Williams, and Jason Perry along with Rowland and Eve, it was produced by Polow da Don for her second solo album ''Ms. Kelly'' (2007), featuring additional production from S-Dot, Garrett, Perry, and Williams. "Like This" is an contemporary R&B song, which incorporates elements of Dirty South and go-go music, with its lyrics referring to a woman growing out of a past relationship. Recorded late into the production of the album, "Like This" was released as the album's lead single to US radios in March 2007. The song received generally positive critical reviews. Upon its release, the song became Rowland's highest-charting solo success since her 2002 single "Stole", reaching the top ten in Ireland and the United Kingdom, as well as the top 20 in Australia and New Zealand and number 30 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. In addition, it became Rowland's first single to peak at the top position on the ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Club Play chart. An accompanying music video was directed by Mike Ruiz and filmed in the Hollywood Hills in mid-March 2007. ==Writing and recording== "Like This" was one of the last songs on the album Rowland and co-producer Sean Garrett started working on in mid-September 2006 after the cancellation of ''My Story'', the album's actual version.〔 The singer has described the "''very'' sassy" song as a perfect example of what attitude she exactly had on her mind when creating the revamped version of the album, entitled ''Ms. Kelly'': "Polow already had this hot track", she said in an interview with her official website. "I loved the sound of the cowbell; it was so different! Sean and I started writing and he said 'Kelly this is your first single'."〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Official website )〕 Happy about finally running "into that song that definitely sticks out" after many months recording, Rowland eventually took a break from recording tentatively titled "Wooo!" or "Bump like This" — not without returning with a flash of inspiration.〔 "I just heard Eve on this song", she recalled. "I knew her energy belonged on the song and, just like that, it all came together. Then I knew: This was the single () and it turned out he () was right."〔 "It's a great combination of her thoughts and her feel on the type of music that she likes to do", Garrett added in an interview with ''MTV News''. "It's a cross between something in a club and on mainstream radio. We're just trying to stay a step ahead of what's going on."〔 Although Columbia Records intended to release album cut "Work" as ''Ms. Kelly''’s lead single at a particular time, "Like This" eventually replaced the album's original lead single "Gotsta Go", a collaboration with rapper Da Brat.〔 On February 13, 2007 a ninety-second clip of the song leaked onto the internet, and by February 16 a full low quality preview of the track had leaked. Since, the song was remixed by several producers and DJs, among spawning official versions with rappers Sean P of the YoungBloodZ and Lil Wayne. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Like This (Kelly Rowland song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
