[Verse 1: Usher]
I was all alone
I was feeling rather low
I needed someone to lift my spirits up
So I dropped in on a dance
Just to take a glance
And there this lovely thing was
She was more than enough

I asked her for her hand
Said, "would you like to dance?"
So pleased that I had asked
She quickly took my hand
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam, oohh

[Chorus: Usher]
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby, for me

Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me

[Verse 2: Monica]
Seems what you say is true
I feel the same way, too
You see, I waited all night long
Just to dance with you
And when you touched my hand
I knew you were the man
To turn my world around
And make my dreams come true

The magic in your eyes
Made me realize
That everything I feel
Has got to be real
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam

[Chorus: Monica]
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For me and for my baby
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me

[Bridge: Usher, Monica & Both]
I'm trying to find someone who
I can give my good loving to
Never, ever did I dream I'd find someone, yeah
Now, I've been trying to find someone, too
I prayed to Heaven and then I found you
I swear, I fell in love the night you danced into my heart

[Chorus: Usher & Monica]
Play another slow jam (ah baby)
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
(Can I get a slow jam, do you want to slow jam?)
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
(Can I get a slow jam, play another slow jam
Are you gonna slow jam?)

Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam....

Coming into the scene in 90’s under the guidance of a young Puff Daddy finding his way. It wasn’t until he connected with the up-and-coming producer Jermaine Dupri did Usher begin having his success with his second and third albums, My Way and 8701.

He made an impact with his fourth studio album Confessions that sold 1.1 million copies in the first week and produced four consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number one singles —"Yeah!“, "Burn”, “Confessions Part II”, and “My Boo”. Confessions went on to sell over 20 million copies worldwide and is the last album certified diamond by a black artist.
