Songz was born Tremaine Aldon Neverson on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, Virginia. Raised a military brat, he recognized his vocal abilities at the age of 14. Reluctant to sing, he began performing with encouragement by friends and family. Record producer Troy Taylor discovered Songz during a talent show, which led him to a record contract with Atlantic Records. After graduating from high school, Songz moved to New Jersey to begin his music career.
2004–2006: I Gotta Make It
While recording his debut album, Songz released mixtapes under the alias Prince of Virginia. He made an “answer track” to R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet”, entitled “Open the Closet”.His debut album, I Gotta Make It was released in July 2005 by Atlantic Records. It debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200, domestically selling over 10,000 copies in its first week of sales.

Another single, Gotta Go, peaked at number 67 on the Hot 100 and on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, at number 99.
2007–2008: Trey Day

Production on Songz’s second album had included, Bryan-Michael Cox, R. Kelly, James Harris, Terry Lewis, Andrew Harr, Bernard Freeman, Floyd Hills, alongside Tamir “Nokio” Ruffin, Justin Haro, and M.S. Eriksen. The album debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200, selling more units than his previous album, I Gotta Make It. The lead single, “Wonder Woman”, peaked at number 54 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
The second single, “Can’t Help but Wait”, peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart; it became Songz’s highest charting debut on the Hot 100, and his first-charting R&B single on the R&B charts.[citation needed] “Can’t Help But Wait” charted at number 74 on the Billboard Pop 100 in February 2008.

In 2008, Songz was nominated for a BET Award for Best Male R&B Artist.

Pretty, pretty girls all around the world
I know that what you heard ain’t fly
'Cause people gone say shit
Oh oh oh oh
No difference from all of these women
But do you believe it
Ain’t by chance that we’re here
Only got one life to live, so
Let me change your mind
They say that I’m bad for you that’s fine
Sometimes bad is a good time
Don’t you be shy
Let me change your mind
Can’t never have a one night only
But you don’t need to be lonely
Come get to know me

The lyrics of Trey Songz(트레이 송즈)'s song "Change Your Mind" are about a man trying to convince a woman to give him a chance and change her mind about him. The chorus repeats the phrase "let me change your mind," a plea for the woman to consider him as a potential partner. In the first verse, Trey acknowledges that people may have said negative things about him, but asks the woman to believe in him anyway. He argues that they only have one life to live and that he wants to make the most of the opportunity they have to be together.
The second verse is more explicitly sexual, as Trey describes the physical actions he wants to take with the woman. He tells her that his kisses will "eat" her lipstick and urges her to stop "tripping," or being hesitant. Overall, the song is a seductive plea for the woman to give in to her desires and take a chance on Trey.
