You may think taking a song title from one of the more memorable lines from Will Ferrell's 'Anchorman' is more likely to produce bouts of laughter than a platinum selling single; but if there's one thing Flo Rida knows how to do, it's how to turn an out-there song concept into gold . The Dead or Alive sampling 'Right Round' sold over 600,000 downloads in its first week of release and 'Sugar', which took its cues from the slightly jokey Euro-pop of Eiffel 65, was also a huge mega-selling hit. On this single, Flo Rida enlists the help of R&B sensation Ne-Yo to give us a less frantic affair than his previous work. As you might expect 'Be on You' is a straight up R&B love song, merging the rappers fast paced flow with the soft vocal croon of Ne-Yo. It's a combination that quickly saw the track snapped up by both Ne-Yo's and Flo Rida's equally devoted following and allowed the record to quickly break into the top 20 of the US Billboard chart on release.~Jon Davies (C) Shazam Entertainment 2009.
