Background and composition

"Love Me Now" was written and produced by Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, while additional songwriting was done by Kenneth Coby and Crystal Johnson. In an interview with Billboard, Amaro spoke that she "look for songs that are connected to real life scenarios -- love songs, breakups, getting hurt, finding the strength to keep on pushing in life." "Love Me Now" is a mid-tempo R&B ballad with a minimalist beat and production, which, according to Jessica Sager of Pop Crush, allows the singer's vocals to "shine". Lyrically, Amaro wants her man to stop wasting time and enjoy time with her while they have it, singing, "Boy, drop the world and love me now/ Hurry up boy, you're waiting too long / Listen to the urgency in this tone." The song was released to stream on August 16, 2012, being released for digital download on September 18, 2012 along with "Don't Fail Me Now".

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, known in Japan as Gyakuten Saiban 4 (Japanese: 逆転裁判4, lit. "Turnabout Trial 4"), is a visual novel adventure video game developed by Capcom for the Nintendo DS handheld game console. It is the fourth video game in the Ace Attorney series, and was originally released in Japan on April 12, 2007; it was later released in North America on February 19, 2008, in Europe on May 9, 2008, and in Australia on May 22, 2008.

The game takes place seven years after the previous game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. Phoenix Wright, the main character of previous titles in the series, has been stripped of his attorney's badge, and Apollo Justice, an up-and-coming attorney, becomes his apprentice, working with Phoenix's adopted daughter Trucy on four cases. The player's goal is to get their clients declared not guilty; to do this, they investigate the cases and cross-examine witnesses. When finding inconsistencies in witness testimonies, the player is able to present pieces of evidence that contradict the witnesses' statements. They can also use the "perceive" system, in which they are able to see nervous motions or actions during witness testimonies, similar to a tell in poker.

Ace Attorney

Ace Attorney, also known as Phoenix Wright and in Japan as Gyakuten Saiban (逆転裁判, lit. "Turnabout Trial"), is a series of visual novel legal thriller adventure video games, created by Shu Takumi and developed and published by Capcom, in which players assume the role of a defense attorney in a fictional courtroom setting, which is based on the Japanese legal system, to strive to find their clients "not guilty" using investigation, evidence, and cross-examination to prove their case. The series primarily focuses on the protagonist, Phoenix Wright, a passionate lawyer who seeks out the truth and defends his clients to the end, with later games sometimes featuring other protagonists.

The first three games in the series, originally released exclusively in Japan between 2001 and 2004 for the Game Boy Advance, were ported to the Nintendo DS, taking advantage of features such as touchscreen control, and localized into other regions. These games have also been ported to other formats, such as PC, WiiWare, and iOS. Subsequent titles were developed for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS systems. To date, there have been five main games in the series, with a sixth game currently in development, as well as the prequel Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Bōken, two Investigations spin-off games and a cross-over title, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
