Usher's track Fooling Around, produced by Jermaine Dupri, was recently leaked onto the internet without his permission.
JD who doesn't condone track leaking angrily posted on his website how he felt about the situation. "Some kinda way my Usher record Fooling Around got leaked, if you follow me on Twitter you know I don't condone leaking records. So basically I been down about it all night."
Dupri did appreciate the positive feedback he and co-writer Bryan-Michael Cox has received thus far. Cox feels that Usher wants to tell his story of where he is in life in relation to his recent divorce through his music like many great musicians of the past has done.
"I think Usher is in a place where he really wants to express what's going on in his life, as any artist would, all the greats did it. Marvin Gaye did Here, My Dear. All the greats express where they are personally. Usher's last album was that too. I think the new album is where we are going to see Usher as an artist. I'm very curious to hear what the rest of the album is going to sound like. Our records are definitely in that lane of touching on what's going on in his life, so we are going to see what's going to happen. I'm very excited about the album. I think he has a lot to say."
On the track Fooling Around, Usher takes listeners back to his Confessions album as he details how cheating seems to be the only thing he is good at although he is married but continues to apologize throughout the song.
"I know you never knew when you said, 'I do,' that you would have to face all the pain you feel, It's killing me girl, that you have to live with this/ Live with the lies I tell, live with the pain you feel/ Knowing the man you love is foolin' around/ It's killing me girl/ I just don't understand why you wanna be with this kind of man/ Why would you love a fool?/ With all the things I do, I know it's hard for you."
Usher's album Raymond vs. Raymond has already suffered a pushback date and is now set to release March 1, 2010. Other tracks on the upcoming album were also released onto the web including the single Papers, Daddy's Home, and Little Freak featuring Nicki Minaj.
