1. 개요
어셔가 2004년 발매한 싱글. 그의 4집 앨범 "Confessions"의 두 번째 싱글이다.
2. 상세
Yeah!와 더불어 어셔의 최전성기를 상징하는 노래이다. 전 싱글인 Yeah!가 남부 힙합의 한 장르인
Crunk에 알앤비를 더한 형태의 음악인 Crunk&B를 유행시켰다면, 이 곡은 전형적인
컨템퍼러리 R&B 곡이다.
전 싱글인
Yeah!를 1위에서 몰아내고 빌보드 핫 100에서 7주 연속 1위를 하다가, 중간에 Fantasia의 I Believe가 1주 1위를 한 뒤, 이 곡이 다시 1주간 1위를 하였다. 총 8주 1위, 8주 비연속 1위를 한 것인데, 이 곡의 1위를 최종적으로 저지한 것은 역시 어셔의 다음 싱글인
Confessions Part II였다.
2004년
빌보드 연말 차트에서는 바로 전 싱글
Yeah!에 밀려서 2위를 기록했는데, 이로서 어셔는 '''1964년
비틀즈 이후 40년 만에 연말 차트 1, 2위를 모두 석권한 아티스트가 되었다.'''
3. 가사
I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And it's better for me to
let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn
It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn
When your feeling ain't
the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same
by myself Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back o0o o0o o0o o0oh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my bo0o
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Ima be burnin' till you return (let it burn)
the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn, let it burn, you go girl)
Let it burn (gotta let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know its best for yourself but you
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
[Bridge]
On the other side I
wanna break down and cry (ooooh)
I'm twisted cuz one side of me
is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I
wanna break down and cry (yeah)
[Breakdown]
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return
[Chorus]
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
We know that it's through
Let it burn Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
