Mel & Mus are a Grammy-nominated Dutch songwriting and production duo best known for writing and producing the R&B/hip-hop hits "Don't Think They Know", "Barbie Dreams" and "Good Good". [1]
In 2010, their song "Hit It Like This" received special recognition from the music magazine Rap-Up as a "must-hear song" on the Jamie Foxx album, Best Night of My Life , for its "club-primed" sound. [2] The Rihanna and Nicki Minaj collaboration, "Raining Men" from the 2010 album Loud , was their breakthrough, appearing on various charts in both the United States and United Kingdom. [3] [4] [5]
Mel & Mus next contributed two songs to the Chris Brown album X : "Songs On a 12 Play" and "Don't Think They Know" in 2013, which posthumously paired the noted R&B artist Aaliyah with Brown. [6]
In 2023, they reached #1 on US Urban Radio with "Good Good", the lead single from Usher's ninth studio album, Coming Home . [7] The single was Usher's first top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit since 2016, and stayed on top of the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart for five weeks. [8] The song was included on the Vibe "20 Best R&B Songs of 2023" list, praised for its "sexy, empathetic, and smooth southern bounce [coupled] with modern trap-tinged R&B". [9] In 2025, Mel & Mus produced and co-wrote "Bae", the comeback single from Keri Hilson. [10]
