Deserves its own thread.. it's so perfect, I'm having trouble deciding if it's almost TOO perfect of a song.. I'm coming back to it every few months, and it gets better every time I hear it.

It's still his greatest song, and on the worst of his three albums.

He and Stargate are so skilled at inserting harmonies when they're most needed; this song has got SO many hooks.

the sheer momentum of the melody on this is just wonderfully unstoppable - i got a problem and i/don't know what to do about it/even if i did i don't know if i would quit but i doubt it ohhhh~~

Ne-Yo has 5-10 grade A singles under this belt but I never thought this was one of them, felt like a big step down from his first album at the time, and even know "Spotlight" does a lot more with the same basic tempo/backing.

even know
But dude.. that bridge.. he's so STRUNG OUT!!
― billstevejim, Monday, 3 November 2008 17:59 (seventeen years ago)
ugh that bridge ain't shit. and, y'know, if Ne-Yo wants me to believe that he's straight, or that he's a sex addict, that's cool, but when he tries to sell both premises in one song it just gets to be a little too much. lol @ "I'm gon' get me some".

My unifying theory is that if his girl doesn't give him what he wants he's going to the closest truck stop and he's gonna wait there all night.

al otm... "Because of You" is pretty much boilerplate Ne-Yo

You must realize: Ne-Yo admires boilerplate. He strives for boilerplate.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:35 (seventeen years ago)
eh...I still wouldn't put it in my top 5 Ne-Yo singles
― "JOE THE PLUMBER, I'LL WHUP YOUR ASS" (The Reverend), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 03:49 (seventeen years ago)
lol @ "I'm gon' get me some".
the lol is way on point here, but i suck at paying attention to lyrics.. i didnt notice this line was even in the song until just recently.
still kills.
