I'm a Man; I Can't Help It: Usher claims that he's just helpless and is easily pulled in by women's wiles in several songs. | |

Central Theme | |
| Confessions (2004) (Music) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Infidelity and ending relationships. There was rampant speculation that the album was about Usher cheating on his then girlfriend Chilli from the group TLC, but there was only one song dedicated to the subject, "Burn" (which wasn't about adultery, just a relationship running it's course). Jermaine Dupri revealed years later that most of the album was from his experience of cheating on his steady girlfriend. | |

A Wild Rapper Appears! | |
| Confessions (2004) (Music) / int_78f26d1c | comment |
A Wild Rapper Appears!: Downplayed; "Yeah!" features Lil Jon and Ludacris but the track is already a heavy Hip-Hop Crunk track, it just happens to have singing on it. | |
