The third official single "Stay Down" reached the top 40 R&B charts, and was chosen in favor of "Hurt Again", which was originally the third single, but eventually was only a radio single by receiving airplay in Spring 2008. Growing Pains was awarded the Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 51st Grammy Awards in February 2009.

Singles
"Just Fine" was released as the album's lead single on October 2, 2007. The single was the only single from the album which was released in multiple formats. The single peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #3 On the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In the UK, the song performed well peaking at #16 on the official chart. "Work That" was released as the album's second single on December 18, 2007. The single charted from digital downloads when the album was released, and eventually peaked at #65 on the Billboard Hot 100 but did become a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The song "Hurt Again" was supposed to be released as the official third single released from Growing Pains, but at the last minute was changed in the favor of "Stay Down". Between the loss of momentum from the album's first and second single and lack of promotion for the single, "Stay Down" did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; it peaked at #34 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.

Toes hangin' out the window loadin' up my army
You know I keep a bad *** breathin' on me
Also known to have no business with no beefin' on me
And won't hesitate to cock it when them people on me
So guess what, no exceptions to you neither homie
You know I got that African connection
Locked up in a facility correction

Black royals of front, we in the place now

First *** to create this sound
Can't believe it took a konvict to shake this town
Dippin' European linen with the V-net
Diamond studded VVS, no less
Kunta Kinte bracelet, lit up the whole set
My *** we on deck, man believe it's no sweat
Need street credibility who you go get
I give you that credibility for the right check
Keep your future on the shelf, quiet where it's best kept
Don't want them upfront shooters bringin' red light

So make a way now, when they come wavin' them ***
You know to lay down and give 'em all you got
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
