Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Usher's Slow Love begin by inviting the listener to come and get some of the slow and sensual love that Usher is offering. The singer then reassures his partner that he is not interested in playing games or messing with their mind, but genuinely wants to love them and take his time with them. Usher goes on to contrast himself with other, less committed partners who "hit and run", and promises to keep going until his partner is fully satisfied.

Later in the song, Usher insists that he will give his partner a slow and uninterrupted experience without any concern for rushing or making mistakes, and that he is not interested in asking whether his partner is enjoying the experience or not, as he already knows what needs to be done.

Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a slow, sensuous evening with a committed partner, that is unhurried and uninterrupted, and in which the singer truly intends to give their partner the very best.
