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. 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. 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. In 2023, they reached #1 on US Urban Radio with "Good Good", the lead single from
Usher's ninth studio album,
Coming Home. 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. 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". In 2025, Mel & Mus produced and co-wrote "
Bae", the comeback single from
Keri Hilson. ==Selected songwriting and production credits==
