When it comes to Usher's hit 2004 album Confessions, art does imitate life.
In an exclusive interview with People for the outlet's cover story, the "My Way" singer revealed that both "Confessions (Interlude)" and "Confessions, Pt. II" derived from his real life experiences.
"There is a great deal of truth in that album," Usher told the publication, adding that he is not solely referring to "his truth." While making the album, Usher brought together "male friends in the industry," People reports, including Jermaine Dupri.
"We were having real talk sessions," Usher continued. "We would sit around and I would say, 'Yo, check your egos at the door, and let's just really be honest. Everybody has to speak their truth.'"
