Ne-Yo was a beautiful song writer before he became a recording artist. He has written songs for a number of artists, including Mary J. Blige, Ruben Studdard, Marques Houston, Faith Evans, Christina Milian, B2K, Nivea, Tyrese, Jamie Foxx , Heather Headley,and Mario . After coming off a bad deal with Columbia Records, Ne-Yo originally decided to remain as a songwriter until a close friend introduced him to L.A. Reid who signed him to Def Jam Records on the spot.
The origin of the name Ne-Yo was given by a mutual friend in 1999 who called him Neo because he could 'see' music akin to the character Neo from The Matrix trilogy. He altered the '-yo' part as an homage to his hip hop roots.
Ne-Yo's debut album, In My Own Words, was released in early 2006, through Def Jam Recordings, and debuted at number one on Billboard 200, selling over 301,000 copies in the first week and certified platinum. During the same week, Ne-Yo's second single "So Sick" (produced by Stargate) reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Ne-Yo is as famous for his songwriting as for his singing, writing such songs as Rihanna's top ten hit "Unfaithful", Mario's "Let Me Love You", Mario Vazquez's "Gallery", Paula DeAnda's "Walk Away (Remember Me)", and BeyoncΓ©'s Billboard Hot 100 ten-week number-one hit "Irreplaceable".
His second album, Because of You, was released May 1, 2007. The first single from the platinum-selling album was "Because of You". He has also said that he has written songs for Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Corbin Bleu, and Enrique Iglesias for their upcoming albums. Smith also has stated that he will write songs for Craig David, Usher, Chris Brown, Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis, and he recently confirmed that he has been contacted by producer will.i.am to work on Michael Jackson's upcoming album.
Ne-Yo opened a recording studio called Carrington House and started his own label, Compound Entertainment, in 2007; Paula Campbell, Sixx John, and Shanell are now associated with Compound.
In December 2007, Ne-Yo and the Goo Goo Dolls performed at a fundraising concert for presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
He appeared in the song "Deewangi Deewangi" in the Hindi movie Om Shanti Om.
In February 2008 at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, Ne-Yo won Best Contemporary R&B Album for Because Of You.
The Lazy Love Songfacts reports that Ne-Yo's fifth studio album was originally titled 'The Cracks in Mr. Perfect' before Ne-Yo changed it to R.E.D, which stands for "Realising Every Dream".
One More
Ne-Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if I may assume, babe
You work hard but you don't get what you're worth
Am I right?
Let me take another guess
You're a little stressed and I bet your feet hurt
No I don't read minds, babe
I just know what it looks like
Don't know where you've been
And I don't know what you've been through
But something's tellin' me you
You deserve a drink or two
Bartender, let me get one more for the lady
(Whatever she wants)
Let me get one more for the lady
Let me get one more for the lady
(Whatever she wants)
Don't know where you've been
And I don't know what you've been through
But something's tellin' me you
You deserve a drink or two
See I was thinkin', over in the corner while I was drinkin'
See you've probably been lookin' for way more out a weekend
Than freakin' and watchin' the Sun fly so high
But you feel so nasty and don't know why
You tried all the things that you weren't gon' try
Like kiss body parts if it wasn't on a guy
But your girl's in the bed and it wasn't undivided
And wasn't no ambition, and everybody wishin'
We'd have did this shit way back then, why we didn't?
Even if you went too far, it's forgiven
You were high when you did it, everybody was trippin'
Promised you'd forget it, but everybody didn't
You're like, this ass doesn't land in the air, body mitten
And I don't just be lookin' on everybody's kitten
But you get in the room and my dick in the room
Make your forget about all the chicks in the room, like that
Let me get one more for the lady
(Whatever she wants)
Let me get one more for the lady
Let me get one more for the lady
(Whatever she wants)
I don't know where you've been
And I don't know what you've been through
But something's tellin' me you
You deserve a drink or two
Ain't gon' lie to you, baby
Wish I could take you somewhere, my bride
Ain't gon' lie to you, baby
Get all in your mind and see what's inside it
Ain't gon' lie to you
I want you, how could I not with a booty so fat?
I don't wanna get on your nerves and test your patience
I ain't tryna do that, no
Ain't gon' lie to you, baby
I would love the opportunity to rub your feet
Ain't gon' lie to you, baby
If you with it, I got somebody sexy you should meet
Ain't gon' lie to you
You had a long night, I'm just tryna help you end it right
So if I may be so bold, can I get you one more to go?
Let me get one more for the lady
(Whatever she wants)
Let me get one more for the lady
Let me get one more for the lady
(Whatever she wants)
Don't know where you've been
And I don't know what you've been through
But something's tellin' me you
You deserve a drink or two
Ne-Yo's song One More is a tribute to hardworking women who don't always receive the recognition they deserve. The song opens with Ne-Yo observing a woman who looks like she's just got off a long day at work. He assumes she's underappreciated and stressed out, which is why he offers to buy her a drink. Ne-Yo sings about his desire to make the woman's weekend more interesting and fulfilling than just watching the sun rise. He wants her to forget about her problems and enjoy her night.
The song is well-written and catchy, with a deceptively simple melody that effectively captures Ne-Yo's sincerity and empathy. The melody is soft and slow, creating a calm ambience that makes the listener feel at ease. The lyrics are emotional but uplifting, conveying a nostalgic and bittersweet feeling.
One More is more than just a catchy tune, it's also a direct appeal to the value of women's work and the struggles they endure. The reference to the woman's feet hurting is a subtle nod to the physical toll of hard work, as well as the emotional exhaustion that comes with it. Ne-Yo's lyrics serve as a reminder that every woman deserves to be appreciated and cared for, no matter what challenges she faces.
Line by Line Meaning
You look like you just got off of work
It appears that you have recently finished working
And if I may assume, babe
If I may make a guess
You work hard but you don't get what you're worth
You put in a lot of effort but don't receive the recognition you deserve
Am I right?
Is my assumption correct?
Let me take another guess
Let me make another assumption
You're a little stressed and I bet your feet hurt
You might be feeling anxious or tense, and your feet are probably sore
No I don't read minds, babe
I don't have the ability to read your thoughts
I just know what it looks like
I can tell by your appearance
When a woman works all night tryna get her thing right
When a woman stays up all night to achieve her goals
Don't know where you've been
I have no knowledge of your past experiences
And I don't know what you've been through
I am unaware of the hardships you've faced
But something's tellin' me you
But I have an intuition that suggests you
You deserve a drink or two
You should be treated to a couple of drinks
Bartender, let me get one more for the lady
Barkeep, please give one additional drink to the lady
(Whatever she wants)
(Any beverage she desires)
See I was thinkin', over in the corner while I was drinkin'
While I was drinking, I was contemplating on the side of the room
See you've probably been lookin' for way more out a weekend
You're probably searching for more excitement on the weekend
Than freakin' and watchin' the Sun fly so high
Than just having illicit relations and lounging as the sun rises
But you feel so nasty and don't know why
You feel dirty but can't grasp why
You tried all the things that you weren't gon' try
You attempted activities that you initially weren't going to do
Like kiss body parts if it wasn't on a guy
Like kissing body parts other than a man
But your girl's in the bed and it wasn't undivided
But your friend was also present and it wasn't a private encounter
And wasn't no ambition, and everybody wishin'
There was a lack of motivation, and everyone wanted more
We'd have did this shit way back then, why we didn't?
We should have done this a long time ago, why didn't we?
Even if you went too far, it's forgiven
Even if you went too far, it's alright
You were high when you did it, everybody was trippin'
You were under the influence when you acted that way, everyone was also out of it
Promised you'd forget it, but everybody didn't
You made a promise to forget it, but everyone else didn't
You're like, this ass doesn't land in the air, body mitten
You're thinking that your bottom isn't floating in the air- body mittens
And I don't just be lookin' on everybody's kitten
I don't glance at everyone's intimate area
But you get in the room and my dick in the room
But when you walk in the room, my penis (figuratively) is also present
Make your forget about all the chicks in the room, like that
It makes you forget about all the other women present in the room
Ain't gon' lie to you, baby
I won't deceive you, darling
Wish I could take you somewhere, my bride
I desire to bring you somewhere, my partner
Get all in your mind and see what's inside it
To examine what's concealed within your thoughts
I want you, how could I not with a booty so fat?
I want you, it's only natural with such a large backside
I don't wanna get on your nerves and test your patience
I don't want to irritate you or try your patience
I ain't tryna do that, no
I'm not attempting to do that
I would love the opportunity to rub your feet
I would enjoy the chance to massage your feet
If you with it, I got somebody sexy you should meet
If you're interested, I know someone attractive that you should meet
You had a long night, I'm just tryna help you end it right
You had a challenging night, and I'm trying to assist you in finishing it correctly
So if I may be so bold, can I get you one more to go?
So if I may be so forward, can I get you one more drink to take with you?
