J.Lo's Confession: 'Get Right' Was Usher's
Beat First
|

One thing is
clear: Usher has
more hits on his
cutting room
floor than many
singers have on
their albums.
Just when you thought the leaks from Usher's
Confessions sessions were all plugged up,
another unreleased Usher song has sprung up, but
we've heard this one before — well, some of it.
"Ride," produced for Usher by Rich Harrison as a
possible track for Confessions, has hit
the mixtapes. The record has the exact same
instrumental as Jennifer Lopez's horn-heavy "Get
Right" (see
"An Army Of J. Los — Enough For A Dozen
Marriages — Star In 'Get Right' Clip").
As
you can imagine, on Usher's version, he takes it
to the club just as J. Lo does, singing about
high times till the sun comes up.
"It's the way that you look at me, piques my
curiosity," he sings on one verse. "I'm
wondering what you're feeling tonight/ We never
chilled, we never spent no time/ So let's take a
minute/ ... Show you what I'm feeling inside/
Baby, hold on, tonight we're gonna ride."
Most of the lyrics differ from J. Lo's, except
parts of the bridge, where he sings, "So much
we've got to say, but so little time/ And if
tonight ain't long enough, don't leave love
behind/ (Don't leave this man behind)/ Baby,
take my hand" in the same flow as Lopez.
According to Usher's camp, after the song was
scrapped from his album, Harrison gave it to J.
Lo. However, since parts of the bridge Usher
wrote for "Ride" are used in Lopez's record,
Usher has approached J. Lo's camp and Harrison
for publishing credit. Reps for J. Lo and
Harrison could not be reached for comment.
