On the topic of choosing the lead girl, Kingston told MTV News, "I picked the main girl, basically, because Justin is 16 and I'm 20 years old, so it had to be a girl that fit the both of us, because in the video and song, she's trying to play the both of us. The music video was filmed on March 30, 2010, in Beverly Hills, California, and was directed by Ray Kay, director of Bieber's " Baby" video. The song features a prominent synthesized back beat, followed by verses from both singers, then a rap interlude, while utilizing the children's rhyme "Eenie Meenie Miny Moe." "Eenie Meenie" has been described to be a mix of Kingston's "Fire Burning" and Chris Brown's "Forever." It moves at 120 beats per minute and is set in common time. It is a dance-pop song, with R&B, and reggae fusion influences, written in B minor (recorded in B-flat minor), with a vocal range from the tone of F♯4 to the note of A5. The song was first premiered on March 4, 2010, on Ryan Seacrest's website, and it was released officially on March 23, 2010, in the United States. We banged out a couple of records and Eenie Meenie was definitely the most special one.” “I was like ‘let’s do it, I’m ready!’ and he came down over the Superbowl weekend and slept over at my house. So one day he was like ‘yo’ and said he wanted to do a record with me. When talking about how the collaboration first came about, Kingston told MTV News, “Me and Justin have been friends for the past two years. The accompanying music video features Kingston and Bieber at a pool party at a condo, being pursued by the same girl.
It was a moderate international success, appearing on charts worldwide, including the top ten in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and the top twenty in Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United States. The song received generally positive reviews. The song, a dance-pop number with Kingston's reggae influences and Bieber's R&B vocals, is lyrically about an indecisive lover. However, it is included on Bieber's My World 2.0. It was originally released as the first single from Kingston's third studio album Back 2 Life on March 23, 2010, but was taken off for unknown reasons.
The song was written by Kingston, Bieber, Carlos Battey, Steven Battey, Benny Blanco, Marcos Palacios and Ernest Clark, and was produced by Blanco. “ Eenie Meenie” is a song by Jamaican-American recording artist Sean Kingston and Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber.
