With his lead single, Love In This Club, just starting to settle into playlists nationwide, two new full-length songs off Usher’s forthcoming studio album, Here I Stand, have surfaced on the Internet. I Can’t Win, one of the two leaked tracks, tells the story of a man who is suffering in his current relationship because of the mistakes his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend made during their relationship. A piano-laced clap track, courtesy of Stargate, is a bold move away from the similar Beyonce/Chris Brown production work the Norwegian producers became accustomed to dishing out and excellent songwriting credits, courtesy of Ne-Yo, should help catapult Usher towards another highly-successful album. Jive Records has yet to release an official date for the album drop.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on February 25, 2008

 I can relate to this. Good performance by usher, but not as good as "you got it bad"

HE IS BACK! I've been holding my breath as to whether or not his new album is gonna be solid; I should be smacked for not having enough faith in Usher. Usher with Ne-Yo lyrics, that's a very tough combo to beat. After the first few verses, you can tell right away that it has the ne-yo feel of things. The beat and vocals are all spot on, and he's definitely showing all the newcomers how it's supposed to be done. Is it a club banger? No ofcourse not, it's a slow usher track, his other tracks will take care of that.

Usher is surprising me, I forgot how good he is. He makes many other "rap singers" look foolish. He is all about that quality, mad respect.

Thank god the king is back! Usher is the new Michael Jackson, without the mental disorders, lol. This track has mad lyrics, Ne-Yo never fails, and he has gone with Stargate for brilliant production, simple and nice beat that doesnt take away from Ushers vocals! strong vocals from usher, better than his other leaked tracks. cant wait for the album!!

Not bad. The production could have been more exciting. But it's refreshing to hear an Rnb song that keeps the focus on the song's emotion and not production.

Haven't heard much out of him for awhile, nothing fresh anyway. This song has a fresh beat and just flows really good. Lots of emotion and I love emotion in a song. Thinkin this is a great song and that Usher may do a comeback with it!

This is really really good! I am not even a big slow song fan, but this is really hot! The beat is very well balanced and soothing. Usher, like i said before, keeps getting better and better! This is a Classic! He pours his heart out to us on this one!

when do the songs get posted? i use to get on like 9:30 am and be first, now i'm like #452. unless people are watching this site at 3 in the morning... Now the song, i'm going through exaclty what he's saying so i know what he's saying, if i wasn't then this would get a 3. and ne-yo can write his ass off. oh, and i'm still too tough for this shit.

Usher is back to making classic music...every song I've heard from his new album so far has been just as good or better than any song from Confessions (which sold 10million copies). So go figure how this album is gonna do...

This is how R&B is suppose to sound like.. Mario and Usher are no doubt the best singers out in the R&B scene right now and Usher always will be for the fact that he is the REAL king of R&B.. I seen somewhere that R. Kelly is the KING! lmao! im not gonna say but the CHARGES R. Kelly has against him.. he cant be a king lol. Sorry to bring that up. but im definitly waiting for his new album to drop. this song does have alot of emotion and thats wat makes a song good.. to know that the singer put work into it.

Oh my god that chick who gave him a 1 star and if you couldn't compare this to you got it bad, IS MAD CRAZY! This maybe a classic they are focusing on his actual voice and the production complemants that, if only they could understand music, but you have to put moving mountains next!!!!!!!!!!!
