It was sent to urban contemporary radio in the United States on March 28, 2011, as the fourth US single from Brown's fourth studio album, F. A. M. E. (2011). Musically, "She Ain't You" samples the remixed version of SWV's "Right Here" (1993), and also samples Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" (1983).

"She Ain't You" reached number five on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, number 17 on the US Pop Songs chart, and number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Although it was only officially released in the US, the song also charted in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Slovakia and the United Kingdom. The accompanying music video was directed by Colin Tilley and features Brown paying tribute to Michael Jackson. Brown performed "She Ain't You" at the 2011 BET Awards, on Today, and during his F. A. M. E. Tour.

You make it hard for me to see somebody else
I'm calling her your name
Yeah it's messed up, 'cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you
It's your fault, babe
I never wanted us to break up
No, not this way
But you don't understand it, girl
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her, it's only 'bout the sex
With you I had a bad romance
And if I could, just trade her in, I would
'Cause nobody can pass ya, no, yeah

Think I better let her go
Can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
(No, she ain't you)
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
She ain't you, no she ain't you

I been sleeping out
For quite some nights now
It's not the same in my bed
But if she found out, what's going on in my head
It'll be all bad, have me right back
But you don't understand it, girl
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her, it's only 'bout the sex
With you I had a bad romance
And if I could, just trade her in, I would
'Cause nobody can pass ya, no, yeah

I think I better let her go
Can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you

No, she ain't she ain't you
No, she ain't she ain't you
No, she ain't she ain't you
No, she ain't she ain't you
No, she ain't she ain't you
No, she ain't she ain't you
No, she ain't she ain't you
No, she ain't she ain't you
No

Think I better let her go
Can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
(No, she ain't you)
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
She ain't you, no, she ain't you
