The album's production is characterised as having an "organic core" and "loose-limbed swagger", which relies heavily on sampled horn screams and weeping electric pianos with all the songs having a "glossy, processed sheen." The album's title track was produced by Lil Jon and is a dance and crunk&B track that experiments with Latin freestyle. Singles Six months after recording "1 Thing", Amerie and Harrison leaked it to American radio stations in an attempt to get it released officially. The response from DJs and listeners was positive, and it consequently received airplay across the country. Columbia Records attempted to suppress the song because it was an unofficial release, and because Amerie's labelmate Jennifer Lopez had expressed interest in recording the song for her own album, Rebirth. Radio stations refused to retract the song from their playlists, and Columbia eventually began promoting "1 Thing" as a single, making it a last-minute addition to the soundtrack to the film Hitch. The song became Amerie's best-performing single to date. In the United States, it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The RIAA awarded a gold certification for digital sales in October 2005, and another gold certification for ringtone sales in June 2006. Internationally, the single peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and attained top-10 and top-20 positions across continental Europe. The album's title track "Touch" was released as the album's second single and peaked at number 95 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in the United States, while reaching number 19 on the UK chart. "Talkin' About" was released as the album's third and final single. According to Amerie, it is one of her "really personal" songs and one of her favorite tracks on the album. Released as a promotional single, "Talkin' About" peaked at number two on Billboards Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. A remix was made featuring rapper Jadakiss. It was the third single from the album and Amerie told MTV News in August 2005 that she would be co-directing the music video with Chris Robinson, with whom she collaborated on the videos for the two previous singles. The video, however, was not filmed. Critical reception Touch received generally positive reviews from music critics.
