"Scream" is a song by American singer-songwriter Usher, released through RCA Records, as the second single from his seventh studio album Looking 4 Myself (2012). It was written by Usher, Savan Kotecha, Max Martin and Shellback, with production handled by the latter two. The song premiered on the internet on April 26, 2012, and was released the following day as a digital download. "Scream" is primarily a synthpop and dance-pop track. Critics compared its musical structure to that of Usher's 2010 single "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love", which was also co-written by Martin, Kotecha, and Shellback. "Scream" was noted to contain heavily sexual overtones within its lyrics.

"Scream" peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and went on to sell over three million copies in the United States. It was certified 3× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song peaked within the top five in several other countries, including Canada, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. It went on to be certified gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) and IFPI Denmark (IFPI) for shipments of 150,000 and 15,000 copies, respectively. The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production, though some were ambivalent towards its originality.

Usher performed "Scream" during several events and shows, including the Off-Broadway show Fuerza Bruta, the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, Saturday Night Live, iHeartRadio Music Festival, Summertime Ball, iTunes Festival , BBC Live Lounge and E3 2012. An accompanying music video premiered on the internet on June 12, 2012. Directed by direction duo BB GUN, the video contains footage from the Fuerza Bruta show, with Usher reenacting his role as The Running Man, dancing with his love interest and running into a brick wall towards the video's closure.

Production and release

"Scream" premiered on the internet on April 26, 2012, and was released as a digital download the following day.[1][2] It was sent to mainstream and rhythmic radio on May 1, 2012.[3] The song was released as the follow-up to "Climax", as the second single from Usher's seventh studio album Looking 4 Myself.[4][5]

Usher explained to MTV that "Scream" was a record which "represented the other side of the [album]", comparing "Climax" to the former song:

Whereas the first song was a little bit more artistic and a little bit more soulful, and it has done everything, it probably exceeded my expectations, I mean, from the moment I was able to give it away. I was able to kind of be reintroduced in a way musically, and thank you to [producer] Diplo, but 'Scream' is really like the next step. It's just in time for summer and the type of experience that I want people to get out of the album.[6]

"Scream" has a running duration of three minutes and fifty-five seconds.[7][8] It is written in the key of G minor.[9] The synthpop[10] and dance-pop track[11] contains a four-on-the-floor rhythmic pattern,[12] while making heavy use of synthesizers and bass.[10] DJ Booth described its sound as keeping with "current audiences" saying "Max Martin goes for broke on the production tip" with instrumentals "that builds to an explosive, synth-drenched chorus".[12] About.com wrote that in terms of themes, "Scream" is similar to Usher's "Yeah!" (2004) and "Love in This Club" (2008).[4] Rap-Up compared its musical elements to Usher's 2010 hits "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" and "OMG".[13] Idolator's Robbie Daw wrote that the song "follows a dance-pop formula you can hear when flipping to any pop station on the radio."[7] Steve Jones of USA Today perceived that "Scream" achieves the same effect as the "crunk-fueled" "Yeah!" along with "Euphoria".[14]

"Scream" contains heavily sexual lyrics.[4][12][15] MTV's Jenna Hally Rubenstein wrote that Usher sings about a "hot chick and how it'll be a total cinch for him to get her home", in the line "I see you over there, so hypnotic/ Thinking 'bout what I do to that body.../ Got no drink in my hand/ But I'm wasted/ Getting drunk of the thought of you naked/ I get you like ooh, baby, baby."[10] In the chorus, he sings "If you wanna scream ‘yeah,’ let me know and I'll take you there / Get you going like a-ooh baby baby, ooh baby baby, a-ooh baby baby, ooh baby / If you want it done right, hope you're ready to go."[16][17] DJ Booth depicted the track to be about orgasms.[12] Digital Spy's Lewis Corner wrote that "Scream" contains "sex-fuelled lyrics" portrayed in the line "I see you over there so hypnotic/ Thinkin' 'bout what I'd do to that body".[18]

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Andrew Leahey of The Washington Times liked the track's use of instrumentals, perceiving that Usher "holds onto his crown" by doing this, and by combining "Ibiza club music".[19] PopMatters' Matt Cibula lauded Usher's vocals, writing that he "absolutely rips "Climax" and "What Happened to U", nails party anthems like "Scream" and "Euphoria" to the wall".[20] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy depicted "Scream" to be "a seductive club number of chest-popping beats and sex-fuelled lyrics".[18] DJ Booth viewed that Usher "takes to the track like a fish to water" by portraying confidence and sex-appeal to a woman in a club.[12] Rap-Up depicted the song as an "adrenaline-fueled record" comparing it to Usher's "OMG" and "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" (2010).[13] Billboard's Jem Aswad declared "Scream" as one of the "stellar" tracks on the album.[21]

By contrast, The A.V. Club's Evan Rytlewski wrote that the song opens Looking 4 Myself on a "discouragingly perfunctory note", though complimented Usher for not using auto-tune to alter his vocals.[22] Idolator's Robbie Daw was ambivalent towards the track, writing that "Scream" contains "a dance-pop formula you can hear when flipping to any pop station on the radio".[7] Neon Limelight disapproved of the track as a whole for being generic, saying that the song is a disappointment compared to its previous single "Climax".[8] Melinda Newman of HitFix showed a similar opinion, also noting the track as generic.[23]

Music video

Dressed in a white suit, the video opens with Usher strolling and singing to the song. Throughout the video inter-cuts to a woman swimming above the ceiling. Entering the chorus, Usher begins to run, which he then instantly changes into different attire for the second verse, with the video inter-cutting to both the women and Usher in his original white suit. Following the second chorus, Usher starts dancing with the women. He then begins to sprint, ending the video with him bursting through a brick wall, showing clips of the Fuerza Bruta performance with Usher running across the venue's conveyor belt.[45] Rap-Up reviewed the music video positively, writing that Usher "makes all the right moves in the exhilarating video [...] Mr. Raymond shows off his fancy footwork in a crisp white suit as he glides across the stage during his show with Broadway's Fuerza Bruta."[46] The music video on YouTube has received over 75 million views as of May 2024.[47]
