}}}} "Look at Me Now" is a song by American recording artist Chris Brown, featuring American rappers Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, released as the second single from Brown's fourth studio album ''F.A.M.E.'' on February 1, 2011. It was written by Brown, Diplo, Jean Baptiste, Ryan Buendia, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and Afrojack. The song was produced by Diplo and Afrojack, and was co-produced by Free School. Musically, "Look at Me Now" is a "Dirty south-inspired" hip hop song that features "thumping bass, spacy synth and horn jam sounds."〔 Critical reception towards the song was positive, where critics noted it as the standout track on the album, and praised Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne's rap verses. "Look at Me Now" proved to be successful in the United States, where it reached number six on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, making it Brown's highest chart position since "Forever" (2008). It also reached number one on the Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. Internationally, the song charted in Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. An accompanying music video was directed by Colin Tilley and filmed in Los Angeles, California. It features numerous scenes of Brown, Busta Rhymes, and Lil Wayne in a smoke-filled, graffiti-covered parking garage, where a ''Step Up''-type dance-off is held. The video received a positive response from critics for displaying various colors and intricate routines performed by Brown and several dancers. The song won three awards at the 2011 BET Awards for Best Collaboration, Viewer's Choice and Video of the Year. Several artists have covered the song and released their own remixes, including Karmin, Justin Bieber, Trey Songz and Da Brat. == Background and release == "Look at Me Now" was written by Chris Brown, Diplo, Jean Baptiste, Ryan Buendia, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes and Afrojack,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Look at Me Now )〕〔 and was produced by Diplo and Afrojack, and co-produced by Free School.

In an interview with ''Vibe'' magazine, Diplo revealed that when he was first asked to put the song together, he thought that "Look at Me Now" was not for an official release, saying: "I knew that I was working on something for a Chris Brown record, but I thought it was for a mixtape... When I did the beat, I gave it to one of his writers. Then Busta Rhymes got on it and I was like, 'Okay, this is going to be a club record.' And then when Wayne got on it 'Look at Me Now' became a radio record. It just took off from there." 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「Look at Me Now (Chris Brown song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
