Down

This was the first song recorded by British R&B artist Jay Sean after he'd signed with the American Hip-Hop oriented record label Cash Money Records.

This tune features Lil Wayne. Sean told MTV News that he recorded this song in 90 minutes, after which he received a call from Ronald "Slim" Williams, the CEO of Cash Money Records. He recalled: "Slim called me up and was like, 'Yo, man, there's something wrong on the second verse that just doesn't sound right.' I was like, 'Really? What?' He played the song. All of a sudden I heard Wayne's Auto-Tune stuff, and I'm like, 'OK. What's going on? Right! That's Lil Wayne on my song right now!' That day was brilliant."

Sean penned the song during a late night recording session in Miami's Hit Factory Studio. He told Billboard magazine: "The news was on, everything was depressing and we were like, Look at this man - everything's so down in the dumps. Why don't we write a song to take everyone's mind away from being down?" He added: "Wayne heard it, fell in love and dropped a verse on it."
