Last August, Usher married longtime girlfriend Tameka Foster and nearly three months later, the couple had their first child. For the first time in his life Usher was both a husband and father; two roles he had never before experienced. Now, just two weeks away from the arrival of his highly-anticipated new studio album, Here I Stand, Usher is sharing with the world that he doesn’t mind Trading Places. Produced by L.O.S. Da Maestro and co-wrote by The-Dream, the same duo who crafted J. Holiday’s Bed, the track features Usher openly explaining the roles that he’d like to swap with his leading lady. Just a little guess: a week after his album drops on May 27, Mr. Raymond will experience a #1 record for more than the first time.

Greeting in Australia, Ole. I hate to break it to you, mate; this song is NOT produced by Tricky Stewart. Believe me when I say this: Google searches lie to you. :-)

I think some people are finding this track lacking uniqueness because it's a the-dream cred. His stuff is blowing up everywhere hence a certain familiarity with it. But you absolutely can't take anything away from this Usher joint. Usher just hits those signature dream falsetto notes perfectly; spine-tingling to be exact. Love how it has the-dream written all over, can't wait for the album.

Yeah, you can definately hear The Dream all over this indeed. HOWEVER, I don't like how he (Dream) sings (only song I like from him is "Fast Car" belive it or not). I love and prefer Usher's voice. He did a great job on this one.

This sounds like Fast Car, Kissez.
Like a slow version. Matter of fact, that was the first thing I thought of. |

His voice doesn't disappoint, as always, but the song is as good as, for example, Love In The Club! I need to listen to it again, for now I'm not mad for it...in rotation

I don’t get how this could not be anyone’s type of song, as if you were too tough to appreciate it…?! I’m sorry 4 u if that’s your case. Well, as for me, I love this Dream-style. Bed was more baby making, but this is even better musically speaking, especially with the additions of such a beautiful flawless performance by Usher and the remarkable guitar solo by the end. The lyrics are better than average also, the entire trading is kinda funny. Agree with u senorfresco, it does remind Fast Car, in a slower tempo.

Usher is the best R&B singer of his time, hands down. I can't wait for his album to come out so he can remind all these kids like Chris Brown of what real passion in R&B is. I've always thought that Chris Brown has potential, but needs to go through some real s**t in his life before that emotion will carry over to the music. Usher learned this a long time ago. As for this song, it really does have The-Dream all over it. The song is like The-Dream's "Falsetto" and Chris Brown's "You"(lol) put together. Pretty cool.

I like the beat and that just might be all I like about the song. I'm really starting to think The-Dream sucks becuase all of his songs sound exactly the same...that shows a lack of creativity to me. Usher's okay and this beat is okay so i guess together it's an okay song.
