Overall Meaning

In Usher feat. Jagged Edge's song "Nice & Slow," Usher is telling his lover to get ready for him as he's on his way over to her. He's telling her to wear something he finds attractive and that he's coming to see her in 10 minutes. As he approaches her spot, he's anticipating great love and is asking her to not keep him waiting. Once they're together, he wants to take things slow and go somewhere private where they can make love without any interruption. He's been waiting for this moment for so long, and he wants to take his time and make sure they enjoy each other until the sun comes up. Usher also adds his signature ad-libs and mentions that he wants to do something freaky to her.


The song highlights the importance of taking things slow and enjoying the moment. Instead of rushing into things, Usher wants to cherish the time he has with his lover and make sure they both have the best experience possible. The lyrics suggest a level of passion between the two characters, and Usher's delivery adds to the sensuality of the song.
