"Fine China" was written by Chris Brown, CBE artist Sevyn Streeter, Eric Bellinger and Roccstar, while production was handled by Roccstar and PK.[5] It is an R&B song,[6] with Brown singing "I'm not dangerous" in a vintage King-of-Pop falsetto over elastic bass and swinging Eighties funk grooves, according to Rolling Stone's Matt Diehl.[7] According to Brown, the chorus ("It's alright/I'm not dangerous/If you're mine, I'll be generous/You're irreplaceable/A collectible, just like fine china") is about "how delicate, priceless and beautiful a girl can be."[7] Lyrically, it uses fancy dinnerware as a metaphor for a delicate woman over a soulful, 1970's-inspired track.[4] He also makes use of his falsetto, which soars over harmonies and a disco beat in the chorus.[6] According to Amy Sciarretto of Pop Crush, "the shimmying song has a similar tempo to 'Billie Jean,' with '80s backbeats and plenty of Jacksonian 'Woo-hoos' and 'whoas' sprinkled throughout the song."[6]
"Fine China" was released on iTunes by RCA Records on March 29, 2013,[11] and sent to Rhythmic radio on April 2, 2013.[12] It was sent to Urban radio on April 9, and Top 40/Mainstream radio on April 22, 2013.[13] The single's album cover is simple, with the Mandarin characters 精美的瓷器 (jīngměi de cíqì) in red with Brown's name in the lower left corner in a faux-Asian-style font on a black background. It translates literally as "fine porcelain", or the "fine china" the song uses as a metaphor.[4]
Chris Brown: Fine China
He compares the woman he loves to "fine china" and says "It's alright / I'm not dangerous / When you're mine / I'll be generous," which sounds like the public apology he needed to make.
South Korean singer and former EvoL member SAAY's cover - which she did a year ago- was included in the medley clip. SAAY has been very happy when she saw the clip and posted in Instagram, "Omg what an honor! I took this #finechina cover vid almost 1year ago.. Sending all ma love from South Korea! thank u guys soso much, sweet dreams!"
