The single also marks the creative reunion of LA Reid and Usher, who haven’t worked together since the 2004 diamond-selling album ‘Confessions’. Reid was the one who discovered Usher and signed him to LaFace Records, propelling the then 14-year-old to stardom.
Usher hasn’t released a full album since 2016’s ‘Hard II Love’, which peaked in the Top 10 album charts in the US, Australia, and the UK. However, the 44-year-old has been teasing a new album since 2019 in an Instagram post with Jermaine Dupri.

His upcoming ninth album has been thought to be a sequel to ‘Confessions’, but in a recent GQ cover story, Usher negated that, saying, “I want to be better than what I was.”
Currently, the Atlantan singer is doing a Las Vegas residency at the Park MGM, after a successful run at Caesars Palace in 2021. The tour started on March 15 and is set to end on October 28.
