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 Beyoncé'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".
Sexual Healing ft. Sarah Conner
Ne-Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual Healing
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling,
That it's sexual healing
Get up, get up, get up, get up,
Let's make love tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
'Cause you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby oh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling,
I need sexual healing
The lyrics to "Sexual Healing" by Ne-Yo ft. Sarah Conner are all about the power of intimacy to heal emotional pain and distress. The first verse focuses on the physical desire for sexual release, with the singer declaring their need for love and attention, and the deepening strength of their desire. The chorus then shifts into a more emotional space, expressing how sexual intimacy can be an important tool for relieving stress and improving mental health. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer professing that even when things are at their worst, they know that a call to their lover will help them feel better. From there, the lyrics pivot back towards the physical, as the singer describes the powerful sensations they experience during sex and how it can help them feel better overall.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the complex interplay between physical and emotional intimacy, highlighting the ways in which these two forms of intimacy can work together to create a sense of wholeness and healing. It also emphasizes the importance of healthy sexual relationships in our lives, suggesting that there is something inherently healing and life-affirming about the act of making love.

Essa música é fabulosa! E essa versão é esplêndida! Marvin Gaye é sem dúvidas, um dos melhores cantores desse mundo.
@PurplePinkRed
I really enjoyed this! Never heard a female voice on this or a duet version. Marvin Gaye will always be the classic and the best, but Ne-Yo and Sarah have great voices. Whoever did Sarah's make-up, hair and outfits were spot on. The overall video concept is fantastic too.
@djbreezemusic
Bolton also did good!
@PurplePinkRed
@BassLevels Entertainment Yes indeed!
@markjohnson8436
Hello beautiful 😍
@patinho5589
The video is just referencing the film 9 and a half weeks scene for scene
@myraallen2951
She pretty
@luacristal9427
Amei a versão dela que é muito parecida com a do extraordinário George Michael mas a música é de Marvin Gaye 🖤
@andreiadesouzasilva5410
Que vibe!!!
Coloco essa música e meu esposo já sabe!!!😋
@CarlosSilva-pm1vn
Clássico dos clássicos essa versão ficou top demais ainda mais com essa voz da Sarah Connor e o Ne-Yo.
