Fergie isn’t the only pro at product placement.

Chris Brown’s top 10 hit Forever isn’t just a hot song — it’s also a gum jingle. Listen carefully and you’ll hear the R&B star croon, “Double your pleasure/double your fun” in the chorus. Why? Because the song is an extended version of a new Doublemint ad written by Brown and scheduled to begin airing next month in 30-second spots for Wrigley’s chewing gum.

C.Brown isn’t alone. The campaign includes spots featuring R&B singer Ne-Yo doing his own take on Big Red’s “kiss a little longer” jingle. And Dancing With the Stars country singer Julianne Hough recorded a twangy version of Juicy Fruit’s “The taste is gonna move ya.”
