Amerie discography
This is the discography of Amerie, an American R&B singer signed to Columbia Records/Sony Urban Music. Her first album, All I Have (2002), was certified Gold in America, where it produced the top forty song "Why Don't We Fall in Love". Amerie's 2005 single "1 Thing", from her second album, Touch, became her biggest hit in the U.S. and elsewhere, although U.S. sales of Touch did not match those of her debut. Her third album, Because I Love It (2007), was preceded by the single "Take Control" and the mixtape Because I Love It Vol. 1, and it remains unreleased in North America. Amerie's recordings outside her solo material include featured credits on singles by LL Cool J, DJ Kayslay and Ricky Martin.
