About Confessions

"Confessions Part II" is a song by R&B singer Usher, produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox for Usher's fourth album Confessions. Written by Usher, Dupri and Cox, the song is a confession of a man to his woman about his impregnated mistress who goes by the name of Amy Lewis (lives in Atlanta, Georgia). This is a continuation of "Confessions Part I" which relates to a man's infidelity. Its personal content evoked rumors and early responses from the public even before its release, believing that Usher was asserting the truth; however, Dupri divulged that the story behind the album is about himself. "Confessions Part II" received mixed reviews from critics. The song was released as the third single from the album, following the success of "Burn". The single reached number one on Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, becoming the album's third consecutive number-one single. Internationally, the single had lesser success than the album's previous releases.

Hello?
Yo I'm in the booth I'ma call you right back
Nah I just gotta put this one part down I'ma call you back
I'm at the studio man what
Man quit playin' with me man
No for real don't play like that
Are you, are you serious?
How you know?
Put that on everything
Damn
I'ma call you back
I'ma call you back

Every time I was in L.A. I was with my ex-girlfriend
Every time you called I told you
Baby I'm workin' (no)
I was out doin my dirt (oh)
Wasn't thinkin' 'bout you gettin' hurt
(I) was hand in hand in the Beverly Center like man
Not givin' a damn who sees me
So gone (I know)
So wrong (just listen)
Thinkin' like I didn't have you sittin' at home
Thinkin' about me
Bein' a good girl that you are
But you probably believe you got a good man
I mean I never would do the things I'ma 'bout to tell you I've done
Brace yourself
It ain't good
But it would be even worse if you heard this from somebody else (oh no)

I know you hate me
I know I hurt you
But there's more
Listen
