Usher has never been one to shy away from making love in the club, even making a song called “Love In This Club”:
I wanna make love in this club (Hey)
In this club (Hey)
In this club (Hey)
In this club (Hey)
Can't nobody do your body like this USHER (Ft. Plies) – Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home) (Remix)

Usher puts his own spin on the classic prayer “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep”, which originally went like this:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I shall die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen.
Usher changes the words around to let Tameka know instead of Jesus that his life was seriously effected by their marriage, even if it didn’t last that long in the end.
You can think about you don't want it
You don't wanna come across too anxious
Gonna see if you're ready for the second round USHER – 2nd Round

While this song is about a “cuhrayzy” woman who kills her man, this could be a reference to Jhene’s hip hop knowledge. She’s made 2Pac references before and she’s one of her favorite artists, so it figures she references The Notorious B.I.G.’s son “Who Shot Ya?”, a song calling out Pac.
