Ur'sher, baby
Yeah yeah, we did it again
And this time I'ma make you scream

Ooh baby baby, ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby baby

And I ain't trying to fight it, to fight it
But you're so magnetic, magnetic
Got one life, just live it, just live it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Usher's "Scream" are quite physical in nature, with Usher describing his desire for a woman's body and his intention to make her scream. The song opens with Usher declaring that he's going to make his partner scream, an idea which he maintains throughout the entirety of the song as he expresses his romantic and sexual desires.


The chorus, punctuated by Usher's high-pitched screams, instigates an invitation for his partner to join in, amplifying the sexual tension of the lyrics. He encourages her to give in to her passion and allows himself to succumb to his own fantasy of her body.


Throughout the verses, Usher quenches his thirst for his partner's naked body and outlines his intention to dominate her sexually. The verses are set against a fast-paced electro-pop beat with symphonic strings and electric guitars. The song, despite its explicit sexual themes, is a certifiable dance anthem, perfectly blending R&B, electro-pop, and techno.
