Amerie, the Grammy-nominated R&B singer best known for her 2005 hit “1 Thing,” treated fans to a rare glimpse of her personal life this week. On July 1, the artist behind albums like All I Have and In Love & War posted a series of sunlit photos from a relaxed outdoor hangout. In her caption she wrote, “Good people. Good times.💯,” before tagging the group she calls her Day Ones.
Circle Of Trust
In the photos, Amerie and a handful of close friends lounged on wooden benches under dappled shade, drinks in hand. The tagged names included @jamaicacraft (a Caribbean-inspired craft brewer), @man.means.mind914 (a mental-health coach and motivational speaker), stylist @courtneycl, photographer @ericarchibald and fitness trainer @jimsontamano. Their easy camaraderie and genuine smiles made it clear this was a crew she’s leaned on through every career pivot.
Snapshots From The Gathering
One image shows Amerie in a breezy white top, leaning back as she laughs at something off-camera. In another, the group raises glasses of vibrant cocktails, toasting to sun and friendship. Subtle decor—potted greenery and strings of Edison bulbs—suggested a private backyard or intimate garden setting. Though the location wasn’t tagged, the warm light and lush backdrop hint at a summer evening in Los Angeles or Miami, where Amerie has long kept a base between studio sessions.
From Chart Topping To Cozy Moments
Born Amerie Mi Marie Rogers on January 12, 1980, the singer burst onto the music scene in 2002 with her debut album All I Have. She earned widespread acclaim three years later when “1 Thing” became a dance-floor staple and secured her first Grammy nomination. Since then, she’s released several albums, dabbled in acting (including a cameo in Tokyo Drift) and launched her own imprint, Feeniix Rising. Yet amid global tours and studio deadlines, she’s always credited a tight inner circle for keeping her grounded.
Recent Creative Detours
Earlier this year, Amerie expanded her creative resume by publishing a debut novel, This Is Not a Ghost Story, under her married name, Ameriie Rogers. That project followed a memorable Tiny Desk performance with Washington, D.C. go-go legends Backyard Band for NPR’s Black Music Month celebration. On Instagram, she also teased appearances at the BET Awards and shared snapshots from promotional events—proof she’s kept busy both on stage and on the page.
Even as she toggles between writing, recording and acting, the singer continues to prioritize these treasured friendships. Her latest post is a reminder that for Amerie, success isn’t just about chart positions or book deals—it’s about having good people by your side. As one of her closest collaborators commented in the thread, “Always real ones with you.” And for Amerie, that sums it up: good people, good times, always.
Amerie’s fans can expect more glimpses of her life offstage in the coming months. Whether she’s in the studio working on new music or signing copies of her novel, she’ll undoubtedly bring that same mix of warmth and honesty to every project—and every friendship she celebrates.
