"'Paradise'" is a song by American rapper LL Cool J featuring American singer Amerie. The song was released on December 14, 2002, as the second single from LL Cool J's ninth studio album, '10' (2002). It also appears on the soundtrack to the 2003 film 'Deliver Us from Eva', in which LL Cool J stars alongside Gabrielle Union.
