Dilemma (song)

"Dilemma" is a song by American rapper Nelly, featuring American R&B singer Kelly Rowland. It was released on June 25, 2002 as the third single from the Nelly's second studio album Nellyville (2002), and the lead single from Rowland's debut solo album Simply Deep (2002). It was number one in ten countries, including the UK, the US and Australia, selling over 7.6 million copies worldwide. The song depicts the declaration of forbidden love by a female lover in a committed relationship, and the predicament the male protagonist must face.

In the 55th Anniversary of the Hot 100 issue of Billboard magazine, the song was ranked at number 75 on the all-time Hot 100 songs while at the end of 2009 was named the 11th most successful song from 2000 to 2009, on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 45th Grammy Awards. "Dilemma" was accredited internationally with 16 certifications.

Background and release

St. Louis producer Bam handed Nelly a skeleton track which producer Ryan Bower produced, which samples and contains elements from Patti LaBelle's "Love, Need and Want You" from her 1983 album I'm In Love Again. Upon hearing the beat, he began writing lyrics and then wrote a song out from it. Nelly decided to make the song a last-minute addition to his second album Nellyville, which had already been completed prior to Bam giving him the track. Once Nelly returned to the studio to record the track, his vision changed, wanting to add a female vocal onto it. He instantly thought of girl group Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland, whom he had met during the TRL tour in 2001. Nelly called Rowland by phone and agreed. After a few days of recording, during which Rowland rerecorded her part many times to achieve it "just right", "Dilemma" was completed.

Dilemma

by: Joe

It feels like I'm in a race
The way I'm running through your heart
And running away from another
A vision of your face
Is love that is breaking me down
Like a bottom looking for cover
I promised that I'd be faithful
But I let you down graceful
I don't wanna make you more than it has to be
But whos gonna be grateful?
And whos gonna be hateful?
And it's all me
Which one will I choose?
Which one will I lose?
Which one will I save?
Which heart will I embrace?
One is gonna smile
One is gonna cry
First I'll feel like living
Then I'm gonna die
This is my dilemma,
This is my dilemma
don't wanna do this face to face
Maybe I'm making this hard
Why should it go any further?
But I'm trying to find the place
Who knew I'll be making a choice?
When you wonder...
I know it's onna be painful
Actions that are shameful
I can't interrupt my head, once it's all on me
So loers gonna be envy
And others will look like they scream
I swear I didn't mean
How can I confuse, is it what I do?
Which one will I take
Her heart wont let it sake
One is gonna smile
One is gonna cry
First I'll feel like living
Then I'm gonna die
This is my dilemma, my dilemma, my dilemma
This is my dilemma, my dilemma, my dilemma
One is gonna smile
One is gonna cry
First I'll feel like living
Then I'm gonna die
This is my dilemma,
This is my dilemma
Maybe I stil deserve to have one of the other
The illusions I could not feel
Couldnt feel when my...
From a distance I see them flourish
Tryin to fill up this space
With love, with love
Should take it's place
Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma
One is gonna smile
One is gonna cry
First I'll feel like living
Then I'm gonna die
This is my dilemma, my dilemma, my dilemma
This is my dilemma, my dilemma, my dilemma
One is gonna smile
One is gonna cry
First I'll feel like living
Then I'm gonna die
This is my dilemma,
This is my dilemma
This is my dilemma
This is my dilemma
Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma, dilemma
