Product Description
Usher - Yeah!(#ad)
If you are a contemporary R&B fanatic, then you must have known, heard and loved Usher's “Yeah” single featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris.
Before ‘swag’ was associated with the likes of Justin Bieber, Usher had certainly epitomized it with his “Yeah” hit from the album Confessions.
Usher co-wrote the song with Que Smith, LRoc, Ludacris, Lil Jon, Robert McDowell and Sean Garrett but only featured guest vocal from Ludacris and Lil Jon during the production of the song.
The song was released on 27 January 2004 and topped the Billboard hot 100 chart in the US for 12 consecutive weeks before another of Usher’s hit “Burn” dethroned it.
“Yeah” was the longest-running number one single that year and it went on to receive a similar reception in other countries topping in other charts including Australia, Canada, Belgium, Norway, and Germany.
It received two platinum certification in New Zealand and was certified platinum in other countries.
"Yeah" was nominated for Record of the year awards at the Grammy awards and won The Best Rap/Song Collaboration in the same year at the Grammys.
It sold over 4 million copies in 2013 in the US and was the second track on the Hot 100 decade-end chart, after “We Belong Together” by Mariah Carey which took the first spot, Mr. X directed the music video.
Mr.X along with Usher combined ideas to create a killer music video. The two had worked together on Usher's other singles such as “U Got it Bad” and “U Don’t Have to Call”.
The video shows Usher entering a club when a woman approaches him and attempts to seduce him.
The video continues to show Usher performing choreography in the club, backed by male dancers and female dancers in the performance before Lil Jon and Ludacris rap their verses.
Since it’s released on YouTube, the song has already garnered 129,233,432 views as on September 2017.

Up in the club wit my homies, trying to get a lil V-I
Keep it down on the low key (low key)
You should know how it feels (hey!! hey!!)
I seen shorty she was checking up on me
From the game she was spitting in my ear
You would think that she knew me (knew me)
I decided to cheat (okay!!) Conversation got heavy! (hey!)
She had me feeling like she's ready to blow! (watch out!!)
Oh! (watch out!!) She's saying "come get me!" (come get me)
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said "baby let's go"
When I told her (let's go!!) I said
(Yeah!!) Yeah - yeah
Shorty got down on me, said come and get me
(Yeah!!) Yeah - yeah
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah!!) Yeah - yeah
Covering my girl, she be the best up on me
(Yeah!!) Yeah - yeah
Next thing I knew, she was all up one me screaming
(Yeah!!) yeah yeah (yeah!) yeah yeah - yeah!
(Yeah!!) yeah yeah (yeah!) yeah yeah - yeah!
She's all up in my head now
Got me thinking that it might
Be a good idea to take her with me
Cause she's ready to leave (ready to leeeeaaavvee) (let's go!!)
And I got to keep it real now
Cause on a 1 to 10, she's a certified 20
But that's just ain't me (hey!!)
Cause I don't - know, if I take that chance
She swears he's gonna leave
But what I do - know, is the way she dance
Make shorty alright wit me
The way's she's Getting Low!!
I'm like yeah, just work that out for me
She asks for one more dance, and I'm like yeah
How the hell am I supposed to leave? (let's go!!)
And I say.
(Yeah!!) yeah yeah (yeah!) yeah yeah - yeah!
(Yeah!!) yeah yeah (yeah!) (Hey hey heyyyy!!!! Luda!!!)
Yeah yeah - yeah!
Watch out, my outfit's re-di-culous
In the club looking so conspicuous
And RAWR!! These women all on the prowl
If you hold the head steady, I'm a milk the cow
And forget about game, I'm a spit the truth!
I won't stop till I get em in their birthday suits!!
So gimme the rhythm and it'll be off wit their clothes
Then "bend over to the front! and touch your toes!!"
I - left the Jag I took the Rolls
If they ain't cutting then I put em on foot patrollll (oww!!)
How ya like me now?
When my pinky's baguette over three hundred thou-sand!
Let's drink, you the one to please
Ludacris fill cups like double D's
Me and Ush' once more, and we leaves em dead
We want a lady in the street, but a freak in the bed that say.
(Yeah!!) yeah yeah (yeah!) yeah yeah - yeah!
(Yeah!!) yeah yeah (yeah!) yeah yeah - yeah!
