"Papers"
Song

"Papers" is the first single of Usher's forthcoming sixth studio album Raymond vs. Raymond[3]. The title of the song, originally reported to be “Filing Papers,” has been confirmed as “Papers” by Jive Records. It was written by Sean Garrett,[4] who claims that he was unaware at the time that Usher's marriage was in trouble. [5]

Promotion

It is said that Usher will address the end of his marriage to Tameka Foster, on the first offering from his new album. The song premiered on radio October 5.[6] The song features the same instrumentation as Gorilla Zoe's "So Sick" record, which is included on his March 2009 release.
