Put It Down (Brandy song)

"Put It Down" was revealed as the name of the album's official leading single in Norwood's interview for True Exclusives.{{cite web|title=Brandy Talks About 1st Single & Working With Chris Brown|work=True Exclusives|publisher=YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp823Tn6Sng|date=2012-04-12|access-date=2012-09-29}} Norwood confirmed the release of the song, following her February 2012 joint single "It All Belongs to Me" with fellow R&B singer Monica, on April 12, and also revealed Brown as a co-writer and vocal feature on the song.{{cite web|title=New Music: Brandy f/ Chris Brown – 'Put It Down'|work=Rap-Up|publisher=Rap-Up.com|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2012/04/26/new-music-brandy-f-chris-brown-put-it-down/|date=26 April 2012|access-date=5 May 2012}} On her decision to release it as a single, she commented, "I love taking risks in music and it's great to challenge yourself to be different. That's what I love about the song."{{cite web|title=Brandy Wants To Try Something Different This Summer With Two Eleven|work=Bark+Bite Blog|url=http://www.barkbiteblog.com/2012/05/brandy-is-ready-to-embrace-something-different.html|date=2012-05-12|access-date=2012-05-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120525123020/http://www.barkbiteblog.com/2012/05/brandy-is-ready-to-embrace-something-different.html|archive-date=2012-05-25|url-status=dead}} In a Billboard interview, Norwood further commented about the track, saying that she "felt like, [when] being gone for such a long time, you need to come back with something strong and shock people. Make them go, 'Wow, who is that? Oh my God, that's Brandy? I didn't' even know she can sound like that. Didn't know she would do a song like that?' Because It's completely different than anything I've ever done."{{cite news|last=Ramirez|first=Erika|title=Brandy Talks 'Wildest Dreams' Single, Possible Drake Collabo, & Touring with Monica|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/480287/brandy-talks-wildest-dreams-single-possible-drake-collabo-touring|access-date=August 23, 2012|newspaper=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=August 23, 2012}}

Musically, the singer described the song as “very commercial, but at the same time, it's got a dope hip-hop influence—it's club, it's radio, it's all formats."{{cite web|title=Brandy 'Puts It Down' with Chris Brown on New Single|work=Rap-Up|publisher=Rap-Up.com|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2012/04/12/brandy-puts-it-down-with-chris-brown-on-new-single/|date=12 April 2012|access-date=5 May 2012}} In August 2012, Norwood sat for an interview with Nadeska Alexis of MTV News, where she elaborated on how the song was conceptualized. "Chris Brown also wrote a song on the album called "Slower", so naturally he's heard other songs that I've done and he kinda just hopped on "Put It Down" — rapping and singing — and it was organic and very authentic." In this way, Brown ended up co-writing the track for Two Eleven. She further explained, that "when I heard it, I thought, 'This is great,' [because] he brought a whole new flavor to the record. Sean [Garrett] already made it kinda swagged out, but Chris is just the icing on the cake, and I appreciated him for being a part of it and just being so supportive as an artist. He's so great, the girls love him, and I thought it would be great to have him on board."{{cite web|first=Nadeska|last=Alexis|title=Brandy Tells MTV News She Felt "Shy" Shooting Video With Chris Brown|publisher=MTV.ca.

"Put It Down" was written by Shondrae "Bangladesh" Crawford, Isaiah Watkins, Dwayne "Dem Jointz" Abernathy, and fellow R&B recording artists Sean Garrett, and Chris Brown, while production was handled by Bangladesh and Garrett themselves, featuring co-production by Dem Jointz.{{cite AV media notes |title=Two Eleven |others=Brandy Norwood |year=2012 |url=http://www.4everbrandy.com|publisher=RCA Records}} The song is a bass-heavy, contemporary R&B up-tempo song featuring tinny percussion and canned claps. It begins with an electronically manipulated voice constantly repeating the song's chorus: "I’mma put it down / you gon' fall in love".{{cite news|last=Daw|first=Robbie|title=Brandy & Chris Brown Pair Up For "Put It Down": Listen|url=http://idolator.com/6405992/brandy-chris-brown-put-it-down-listen|access-date=June 8, 2012|newspaper=Idolator|publisher=Buzz Media|date=April 26, 2012}}

Lyrically, it features Norwood complementing a prospective beau on his swag.{{cite news|last=Fitzgerald|first=Trent|title=Brandy + Chris Brown 'Put It Down' on New Single|url=http://popcrush.com/brandy-chris-brown-put-it-down-on-new-single/|access-date=June 8, 2012|newspaper=Popcrush|date=April 26, 2012}} "You're talking so tough, damn, I love it all, even the way you flex, that's what turns me on," she sings. Later, according to Idolator blog, Brown adopts a Nicki Minaj-like vocal delivery and raps, "Sippin’ on that Brandy, that liquor comes in handy, girl, I know you fancy, but this party I'm financing." In the chorus, Norwood sings: "I’mma put it down / you gon' fall in love."{{cite news|last=St. Asaph|first=Katherine|title=The Singles Bar: Brandy ft.

File:Chris Brown 5, 2012.jpg's (pictured) involvement received mixed reviews by critics, who felt his presence on the track was unnecessary.]] The song received generally positive reviews from music critics upon its release. Priya Elan from The Guardian called the song "Brandy's best single for ages". He however found that Browns presence on the track was unnecessary and compared it to a "saxophone solo or Vanessa's bits in all of The Saturdays' songs."{{cite news|first=Priya|last=Elan|title=This Week's New Tracks|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jun/30/this-weeks-new-tracks|access-date=2012-09-27|work=The Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media|date=2012-06-30}} Robbie Daw of music blog Idolator found that it was "a catchy enough jam that we kind of wish we could hear sans Breezy. But given the lackluster performance of Brandy's previous single, the Monica collab "It All Belongs to Me", hitching up to Brown for a song ahead of her album launch probably seemed like the sensible thing to do." Chuck Arnold of People magazine gave the song three and a half out of four stars and added that "after that underwhelming reunion with Monica, Brandy really seems poised for a long-overdue comeback with this thumping, stuttering banger featuring Chris Brown."{{cite web|first=Chuck|last=Arnold|title=Picks and Pans: Music|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20595674,00.html|access-date=2012-09-27|work=People|publisher=Time Inc.|date=2012-05-21}}

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy found that "after 2008's ballad-packed Human, Brandy has opted for an altogether bouncier sound for the lead cut from her new album Two Eleven. In fact, its sparse beats and a melody that takes a few listens to grow reminds us of 2002's brilliantly hectic Full Moon."{{cite web|first1=Robert|last1=Copsey|first2=Lewis|last2=Corner|title=Brandy Gets To 'Put It Down' with Chris Brown on New Single: Listen|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/thesound/a379101/playlist-10-tracks-you-need-to-hear.html|access-date=2012-09-27|work=Digital Spy|publisher=Hearst Magazines UK|date=2012-04-30}} Mesfin Fekadu from San Francisco Chronicle felt that the record was "full of swag and one of the year's best thanks to its addictive beat."{{cite web|last=Fekadu|first=Mesfin|url=http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Review-Another-Brandy-album-and-another-winner-3959780.php#ixzz29gS107Fn|title=Review: Another Brandy album, and another winner|work=San Francisco Chronicle|publisher=Hearst Corporation|date=2012-10-18|access-date=2012-10-18}} Andy Kellman from Allmusic declared the song "Two Eleven{{'}}s most upbeat and commercial song" and felt it stuck "out on an album dominated by aching ballads and grown slow jams".{{cite web|last=Kellman|first=Andy|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/two-eleven-mw0002399906|title=Two Eleven – Brandy|publisher=Allmusic. Rovi Corporation|at=Review|access-date=2012-10-14}} Mark Edward Nero from About.com was of the opinion that while Norwood was stepping "out of her musical lane" on "Put It Down" she would manage "to make the track her own and sounds completely comfortable" on it.{{cite web|first=Mark Edward|last=Nero|title=Album Review: Brandy – 'Two Eleven'|work=About.com Guide|url=http://randb.about.com/od/reviews/fr/Brandy-Two-Eleven.htm|date=2012-10-16|access-date=2012-10-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024172701/http://randb.about.com/od/reviews/fr/Brandy-Two-Eleven.htm|archive-date=2012-10-24|url-status=dead}}

Katherine St. Asaph of Popdust gave the song three and a half out of five stars, writing: "Brandy's voice, when not massed into (very nice, mind you) call-and-response, is either kept sliver-thin or made slightly affected, as if someone in the studio kept yelling 'Swag! More Swag!' across the room while she tried to record. Meanwhile, Chris Brown's verse is so chirped and pitch-shifted and accent-addled that you suspect this was meant to say 'featuring Nicki Minaj' before someone at RCA remembered it was supposed to be a hetero love song." Jason Lipshut of Billboard found that "the production pulls back at the right times and takes Brandy's persona into 2012 surprisingly smoothly."{{cite magazine|last=Lipshut|first=Jason|title=Brandy Gets To 'Put It Down' with Chris Brown on New Single: Listen|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/490165/brandy-gets-to-put-it-down-with-chris-brown-on-new-single-listen|access-date=2012-06-08|magazine=Billboard|date=2012-04-26}} In a separate, less enthusiastic review, his Billboard colleague Andrew Hampp called "Put It Down" the weakest song on the album. He felt that it sounded like "the result of what happens when a label asks to hear a current single" and was "noteworthy mostly for its semi-tribute to the dearly departed Bran'Nu."{{cite magazine|first=Andrew|last=Hampp|title=Brandy, 'Two Eleven': Track-By-Track Review|magazine=Billboard|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/474623/brandy-two-eleven-track-by-track-review|date=2012-10-16|access-date=2012-10-16}} Tanner Stranksy, writer for Entertainment Weekly, also called the track "one of the weakest offerings from an otherwise well-crafted for-the-fans album".{{cite web |url=https://ew.com/article/2012/10/19/two-eleven-review-brandy/ |title=Music Review — Two Eleven (2012) — Brandy |publisher=Entertainment Weekly / CNN |last=Stranksy |first=Tanner |date=2012-10-03 |access-date=2012-10-04 |archive-date=2014-11-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111011240/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20635716,00.html |url-status=live }}

On July 18, Norwood eventually performed "Put It Down" for the very first time at the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C.{{cite web|title=Brandy performs "Put It Down" at The Howard Theater in DC|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_aJA_CSPlg|publisher=YouTube|access-date=2012-08-23}} The track had its television premiere on the MDA Show of Strength benefit concert, which aired on September 2, 2012.{{cite news|title=MDA SHOW of STRENGTH: Brandy "Put It Down"|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HjiqKszzdI&list=UL|access-date=September 5, 2012|publisher=YouTube|date=2012-09-12}} In October 2012, Norwood performed the single on American TV shows 106 & Park, Good Morning America and Live! with Kelly and Michael. Norwood performed the song, along with "Wildest Dreams", at the "Dick Clark's New Years Rockin Eve" special on January 1, 2013. She was the only R&B performer of the night.{{cite web|title='Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' on ABC Wins Ratings Race On New Year's Eve|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/01/dick-clarks-new-years-rockin-eve_n_2393518.html|access-date=2013-05-03|work=The Huffington Post|date=2013-01-01}}

On June 7, 2012, "Put It Down" debuted on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart at number 98. It eventually reached number three, marking Norwood's tenth top ten entry as well as her highest-charting single since her 2002 offering "What About Us?".{{cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2012/09/28/brandy-unveils-two-eleven-promo-photos/#more-136619|title=Brandy Unveils Two Eleven Promo Photos|publisher=Rap-Up.com|work=Rap-Up|access-date=2012-09-29|date=2012-09-28|archive-date=2012-10-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121001000917/http://www.rap-up.com/2012/09/28/brandy-unveils-two-eleven-promo-photos/#more-136619|url-status=dead}} Upon her returns to the top ten, Norwood tweeted, that “I can't lie-at one point I thought it was over for me in music but God had another plan thank you Father!” The song also peaked at number 10 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which represents the twenty-five songs which failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100,{{cite magazine|title=Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles – Issue Date: 2012-08-25|url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/chart-search-results/singles/14112497|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240526041757/https://www.webcitation.org/69yCwV0XP?url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/chart-search-results/singles/14112497|archive-date=2024-05-26|url-status=live|format=requires registration}} before making its debut at number 95 on the latter chart.{{cite web|title=US Singles Top 100 (September 1, 2012) – Music Charts|url=http://acharts.us/us_singles_top_100|work=A-Charts.com|access-date=August 23, 2012}} It later reached number 65 during its tenth week.

An accompanying music video for "Put It Down" was filmed in Los Angeles, California on July 10, 2012. For the visuals, Norwood reunited with director Hype Williams, with whom she had worked on several videos between the years of 1994 and 1995. While Frank Gatson Jr. served as the video's art director, Jaquel Knight handled the choreography.{{cite web|url=http://thatgrapejuice.net/2012/06/brandy-enlists-frank-gatson-put-video/|title=Brandy Enlists Frank Gatson For 'Put It Down' Video|publisher=ThatGrapeJuice.net|date=2012-06-03|access-date=2012-08-22}} On her collaboration with Gatson, Norwood commented, "he [Gatson] gets the best choreographers when he puts his foot in something so he's really excited about everything that's happening. He loves the song and we are looking forward to working together and making this everything it's {{sic|suppose}} to be."{{cite web|url=http://necolebitchie.com/2012/07/10/brandy-shoots-put-it-down-video-with-chris-brown/|title=Brandy Shoots 'Put It Down' Video With Chris Brown |publisher=NecoleBitchie.com|date=2012-07-10|access-date=2012-08-21}} Brown also came to the set that day to film extra scenes with Norwood. In an interview with MTV News, the singer admitted that she was initially nervous about her performance in the video, stating:

"I was so shy, because I'm coming into my own as a performer, so I really wanted to do good. Standing next to Chris, he's so vibrant, like, 'What am I gonna do standing there next to him?' But I practiced really hard, like two weeks before Chris practiced — wait, I'm pretty sure Chris didn't need to practice. But I practiced, I was ready [...] Chris was not gonna upstage me! I was gonna be right there along with him shinin' too. I feel like I held it down a little bit, and I definitely did a lot better when Chris wasn't around, because I was shy."

During rehearsals for the video, Norwood posted pictures of her rehearsing on her Instagram account.{{cite web|url=https://instaprof.appspot.com/profile/4everbrandy|title=App Shot|publisher=Instaprof.com|work=Instagram|access-date=2012-08-21}} On August 6, 2012, both Norwood and Brown gave links on Twitter to a preview of the music video.{{cite web|url=http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/08/brandy-chris-brown-put-it-down-teaser/|title=WATCH: Brandy feat.

In the video, Norwood brings back her trademark braids, and she's paired them with a Madonna-esque cone bra, some body jewelry, white pants and a pair of heel-less six-and-a-half-inch high Giuseppe Zanotti leopard wedges.{{cite news|title=Brandy (and Her Braids) Are Back in the "Put It Down" Video|url=http://popdust.com/2012/08/03/brandy-braids-put-it-down-chris-brown/|access-date=August 23, 2012|newspaper=Pop Dust|date=August 3, 2012}} In the video, the singer dances with her girls in front of cars while sporting a head of curls in others.

Containing product placement, "Put It Down" advertises Vaio notebooks during the second chorus.

The video garnered a generally positive reception by reviewers. David Greenwald of Billboard magazine commented that the video was "bringing modern art to the streets" and that it "finds the R&B singer dancing in front of both blue-lit industrial backdrops and artful Jackson Pollock-esque green screens."{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/480438/brandy-and-chris-brown-get-colorful-in-put-it-down-video-watch|title=Brandy and Chris Brown Get Colorful in 'Put It Down' Video: Watch|magazine=Billboard|first=David|last=Greenwald|date=2012-08-12|access-date=2012-08-20}} Robert Copsey of Digital Spy wrote that Norwood and Brown are "seen flirting and dancing against a colourful backdrop" in the clip.{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a399552/brandy-chris-brown-debut-colourful-put-it-down-music-video.html|title=Brandy, Chris Brown debut colourful 'Put It Down' music video|work=Digital Spy|first=Robert|last=Copsey|date=2012-08-15|access-date=2012-08-20}} Jazmine Gray of Vibe wrote: "Brandy still got it.

Jenna Hally Rubenstein of MTV's Buzzworthy Blog noted that the video contains Norwood's "signature braids as she flirts and makes puppy eyes at Chris Brown [...] Not much else happens in the way of plot, but we're totally cool with that because watching Brandy and Chris nail their choreography while almost potentially kissing is waayyyy enough for us to have this vid on repeat basically the entire week.{{cite web|url= http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/08/15/brandy-chris-brown-put-it-down-video/|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120817075737/http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/08/15/brandy-chris-brown-put-it-down-video/|url-status= dead|archive-date= August 17, 2012|title=Video Premiere: Brandy Featuring Chris Brown, 'Put It Down'|work=MTV Buzzworthy Blog|first=Jenna Hally |last=Rubenstein|date=2012-08-15|access-date=2012-08-23}} Katie Hasty of HitFix described the video as "big splashes of bold colors – Williams' specialty – and some fresh moves from Brandy and her merry band of street dancers." She, however, noted, that "Brown, meanwhile, dons his favorite pair of painters overalls and pretends to flirt with Brandy.
