''Confessions'' is the fourth studio album by American R&B singer-songwriter Usher, released March 23, 2004 on Arista-imprint label LaFace Records. Recording sessions for the album took place during 2003 to 2004 with production by Jermaine Dupri, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Lil Jon. Primarily an R&B album, ''Confessions'' showcases Usher as a crooner and incorporates musical elements of hip hop and crunk. The album's themes generated controversy about Usher's personal relationship; however, the album's primary producer Jermaine Dupri claimed the record reflects his personal story.
The album was an instant commercial success in the United States, selling 1.1 million copies in its first week. Its continued success was bolstered by its four chart-topping singles. As a strategy to boost its sales amid threats of bootlegging, a special edition was issued with the hit single "My Boo". Despite some mixed criticism towards its lyrical substance, ''Confessions'' received mostly positive reviews and earned Usher several awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album. The album has sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. and has been certified diamond in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). According to ''Billboard'', it is the second best-selling album of the 2000s decade in the U.S. and has been regarded by music writers as Usher's greatest work.
