Usher<\/a> reteams with Ludacris<\/a> and Lil Jon<\/a> \u2014 the same trio that released the 2004 hits \u201cYeah!\u201d and \u201cLovers and Friends\u201d \u2014 for the singer\u2019s new single \u201cSexBeat,\u201d which arrived Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Usher, Jon and Luda come together it\u2019s always amazing. It allows us to stay connected to our core like us three together,\u201d Usher told Beats 1\u2019s Zane Lowe<\/a> of the track. <\/span>\u201cNo matter what Jon is doing, no matter where Ludacris is, no matter who I am, or where I\u2019m going, or what type of music I\u2019m introducing, when we come together, we go back to the center, like the orbit of who we all are as artists at our best. Usher, Jon and Luda had to do it again. You know? It\u2019s time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Usher added, \u201cWe, by the way, have been sitting on this song for about two years. So as great as that one song is, please know that two years ago this record was done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The slow jam opens with Lil Jon setting the mood and Ludacris delivering his raunchy verse before Usher takes control of the song. \u201cSex beat\/When I get in that room and the bass go boom\/Something about the way it make me move,\u201d Usher croons<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo easy for us to disregard how incredible of a lyricist Ludacris is because they moved on to the new idea. But when he comes out over the tracks that we do, he always comes with vengeance. His wordplay and just his execution is amazing,\u201d Usher told Lowe. \u201cAnd I think that when Jon he produces, he produces with a very specific idea of how broad our reach is, right? And me as a vocalist, I\u2019m always trying to make sure that you said it, the sweetness is there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
