Usher’s brand new single “Climax” has been rising at radio, but the R&B stars wants you to know the Diplo produced jam is not about sex.
“It’s odd that people view ‘Climax’ as a sexual song,” he told Ryan Cameron on Atlanta’s V-103. “It’s not. It’s not even about sex. It’s really about the ultimate experience, or lack there of, or finale of an experience of love and life.”
He continued, “When you’re in a relationship and it’s kinda reached the climax of where it could go, you gotta let it go if you’re not gonna commit and that’s what the song’s about.”
Ursh does admit that the record has sexual undertones, but that was intentional. “That is the double entendre of how the music works,” he said. “It’s not about sex. It’s about an out-of-control experience, when a person has reached the peak of that experience.”
