Usher wrote "You Make Me Wanna..." with Jermaine Dupri and Manuel Seal, who also produced and played musical instruments on the tune. Phil Tan was in charge of recording the song at the Krosswire Studio, in Atlanta, Georgia in 1996. Tan and Dupri mixed the record with assistance from John and Brian Frye at Studio LaCoCo, in Atlanta, Georgia. [1] "You Make Me Wanna..." draws from the genres of R&B, soul and pop, [2] and heavily utilizes the acoustic guitar, [3] [4] while also incorporating hi-hat and bell instrumentation. [5] According to Universal Music Publishing Group's sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, "You Make Me Wanna..." is written in the key of C Minor with a moderate tempo of 88 beats per minute. Usher's voice extends from the low note of B♭3 to the high note of C6. [2] The song [6] has a basic sequence of Cm–Fm7–A♭–G–G/B as its chord progression. [2] In the song, Usher attempts to seduce his partner's best friend, whom he finds irresistible, [7] creating a love triangle. [8] The song's lyrics are written in second-person narrative, [2] [7] and its hook is the pick-up line, "You make me wanna leave the one I'm with and start a new relationship with you". [9] Usher told Rolling Stone that the song was inspired by one of his own memories of "juggling three women". [10]

Release

"You Make Me Wanna..." was distributed by LaFace Records and Arista Records. In the United States, it was serviced to rhythmic contemporary radio on July 15, 1997. [11] The song was then released via maxi single on August 5, 1997. [12] [13] On September 9, 1997, the track was added to US contemporary hit radio. [14] "You Make Me Wanna..." was released via cassette single, CD single, and 12-inch vinyl in the UK on January 19, 1998. [15] The vinyl was made available in the US on April 24, 2001. [16] Unauthorized copies of the song were distributed in Europe before its release, due to its popularity. [17] "You Make Me Wanna..." serves as the opening track to Usher's second studio album, My Way , while an extended version concludes the album. [18]

Critical reception

BBC Music's Christian Hopwood stated that "You Make Me Wanna..." had "universal appeal". [19] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Vocally strumming his notes as gently and powerfully as the guitar player who accompanies him, Usher makes no enemies by professing an attraction to a friend while being involved with another. The track promises to be a hit among all generations and genders as his loyal young female fan base will eagerly jump aboard. Older women will easily fall prey to the very thought of his musings, while men now have an interesting avenue to express similar feelings." [20] Robert Christgau noted "You Make Me Wanna..." as one of the best tracks from My Way. [21] Entertainment Weekly 's Whitney Pastorek gave it an A− rating, and complimented its minimal production. [5] The Daily News reviewer called the single "very wonderful". [3] British Music Week gave the single five out of five, remarking that it "looks set to crash into the mainstream". [22] The magazine's Alan Jones praised it as "a superbly sublime and soulful semi-acoustic debut which recalls similarly styled singles from Tony Rich and Babyface. It actually has a very complex vocal, with Usher singing in and around the gaps on his own chorus. A very promising cuitain-raiser." [23] According to Ann Powers of The New York Times , the song "put the spice back in the word 'relationship'." [24] David Fricke from Rolling Stone said it is one thing: "tiptoe love funk with a spare, gangsta air and Usher doing overdubbed ensemble singing like a one-man Blackstreet." [25] When reviewing My Way, Ian Hyland from Sunday Mirror stated that, "Tracks like 'You Make Me Wanna...', 'Nice And Slow' and 'Slow Jam' should put you in the mood". [26] A writer for The Vindicator wrote, "The song is a melodic blend of Usher's smooth, youthful voice and a strong, upbeat rhythm track. [27] Billy Johnson Jr. of Yahoo! Music commended the production on "You Make Me Wanna...", along with that of "Nice and Slow" and "My Way", the second and third singles from My Way, respectively. [28] On Valentine's Day 2004, VH1 listed the song at number six on its "Top 10 Sexy Tunes" for the holiday. [29]

"You Make Me Wanna..." won Usher the Billboard award for Pop Singer of the Year, [30] and the Best R&B/Soul Single, Male category at the 1998 Soul Train Music Awards. [31] Radio station WQHT awarded it the title of Best R&B Song at its inaugural Hip Hop Awards. [32] The singer also received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for the song at the 40th Grammy Awards, [33] but lost to R. Kelly's"I Believe I Can Fly". [34] In the 1997 Pazz & Jop critics' poll administered by The Village Voice , "You Make Me Wanna..." tied for thirtieth place in the singles category with Radiohead's "Paranoid Android". [35]
