"Amen" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Meek Mill, released as the lead single from his debut studio album Dreams and Nightmares, on June 19, 2012. The song features fellow rapper, Canadian recording artist Drake with uncredited vocals from R&B singer Jeremih. It was produced by Key Wane and Jahlil Beats. The song samples the Doobie Brothers song "Minute by Minute."

Throughout time, "Amen" remains the only two songs (along with "R.I.C.O.") that Mill and Drake would ever collaborate together for, since they have engaged in a well-known feud that started in 2015.

The song, co-produced by KeY Wane and Jahlil Beats, was originally released on Meek Mill's ninth mixtape, Dreamchasers 2 (2012). The song was later officially released mastered, via iTunes and Amazon on June 19, 2012 in the US. American singer-songwriter Jeremih is officially credited as a featured artist on the mixtape version and although his vocals remain on the single version, he is not credited as a guest appearance.

"Amen" has received much backlash from religious organizations. On July 11, 2012, Meek Mill called into Philadelphia radio station Hot 107.9 and argued with Philadelphia pastor and rapper Jomo K. Johnson about the song. Johnson pushed for a boycott of the song, and will soon publish a book about Mill and MMG accusing them of blasphemy. In a statement, Johnson said that, "As a hip-hop fan, I want to encourage every rap fan in Philadelphia who is a believer in Jesus Christ, to boycott Meek Mill until he acknowledges this blatant disrespect. And being resident of North Philadelphia and pastor, I revoke Meek's 'hood pass' until this happens." Mill has subsequently apologized to those who might have been offended by the song, and Johnson has withdrawn his calls for a boycott.
