| Song |
"U Got It Bad" is a 2001 single from Usher's 2001 album 8701. It was the second US single from the album and the third international single, reaching number 1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, and reaching the top 5 in the United Kingdom and Australia.
The song was produced by Jermaine Dupri and co-produced by Bryan-Michael Cox. The Soulpower remix, which incorporated some 2-step garage elements, received significantly more airplay than the Dupri-produced version in some territories.
The song is listed at #99 on the Billboard: All-Time Hot 100 Top Songs [1], which is compiled by sales data. It was also named the 15th most successful song from 2000 to 2009, on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade.[1]
Background
A short trend started shortly after the single's debut, after there was a misconception about what was said in the second line of the first verse. In the line "You found somebody who makes you change your ways like hanging with your crew", there was a confusion about what was actually said at the end of the line. It was thought that Raymond developed a term called "Hanging Witchacoo" which supposedly was to mean "promiscuously associating with celebrities of the opposite sex." The confusion was shortly ended on February 10, 2002 when Raymond appeared on MTV's TRL to clear up the issue.
Chart performance
The single hit number one on December 15, 2001 but remained for only one week after being temporarily replaced by Nickelback's "How You Remind Me". "U Got It Bad" then returned to the number one spot on January 19, 2002 and spent five more weeks at the top of the chart.
