Not Just Another Sad Love Song: R&B Songs About Real-Life Heartbreak

Usher’s “Confessions II”

When Usher dropped the song “Confessions II,” many people thought the R&B singer was coming clean by admitting that he had been unfaithful. He had recently broken up with TLC member Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and it felt like “Confessions II” was Usher’s way of apologizing and taking blame for what went wrong in their relationship. Although the song was based on real heartbreak, it wasn’t inspired by Usher and Chilli’s relationship. It was actually based on producer Jermaine Dupri’s failed romance.
