Chris Brown | Yeah 3x (2010)

"Yeah 3x" (pronounced "Yeah three times", "Yeah Yeah Yeah", or “Yeah three-x”); sometimes stylized as "Yeah 3X" is a song by American singer Chris Brown, which features American producer DJ Frank E as an uncredited featured artist, and was released as the lead single from his fourth studio album F.A.M.E. on October 25, 2010.

It was written by Brown, DJ Frank E, Kevin McCall, Amber Streeter, with Calvin Harris receiving an additional writing credit following his accusation of plagiarism.


The song was produced by DJ Frank E. Brown recorded the song for his pop audience as he had been doing a lot of mixtapes and urban records. "Yeah 3x" is an uptempo dance-pop, Europop, and electro house song; it uses a video game-type beat and features a thick bassline and big synth chords.




"Yeah 3x" peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and at number seven on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. Outside of the United States, "Yeah 3x" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It also peaked within the top 20 of the charts in Canada, Norway, Slovakia, and Sweden.




An accompanying music video was directed by Colin Tilley and filmed at Universal Studios. The video features Brown in various dance sequences in a neighborhood of old time storefronts and brownstones. It also features cameo appearances by Teyana Taylor, Kevin McCall, and Future Funk from America's Got Talent. Brown promoted the song with live performances on televised shows, including Dancing with the Stars, Today and the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. It was also included on the set list of his 2011 F.A.M.E. Tour.
