Interesting facts and trivia about Hold You Down (feat. Chris Brown, August Alsina, Future & Jeremih). By Songfacts®.

Khaled slows things down for the ladies on this R&B posse ballad. The piano-led song starts off with Chris Brown introducing the chorus, before Jeremih, Chris Brown (again), Future and August Alsina each contribute a verse in that order. The cut was produced by Bkorn, Lee On the Beats and LDB.

The Gil Green-directed video was shot in the Hollywood Hills and finds the four R&B guest artists singing in a mansion. Khaled also does some acting in the clip as well as plugging his Bang & Olufsen headphone line. The video is famous for the interlude where Khaled tells a woman, "You smart. You loyal. You grateful. I appreciate that," and hands her stacks of cash. The memeworthy line not only generated interest in the video, but also inspired Khaled and other hip-hop artists to take advantage of meme culture by posting funny gags on social media.

The song's official remix finds Usher taking over Chris Brown's part as he sings the hook from the original song. Rick Ross, Fabolous and Ace Hood contribute a verse each, adding a more hip-hop flavor to the mix.
