Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Scream. By Songfacts®.

This Eurodance party-popper was released as the second single from Usher's seventh studio album, Looking For Myself. Usher co-penned the song with Texan songwriter Savan Kotecha, whose other credits include One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." Swedish hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback produced the track, which was premièred on the Internet on April 26, 2012.

Lyrically, the song finds Usher between the sheets. "I try to be eloquent," he told The Guardian regarding writing about songs set in the bedroom. "I try to be intelligent in the way I approach speaking about sex."

Usher performed both this song and "Climax" on the May 12, 2012 episode of Saturday Night Live. "We at it again 'SNL' and this time I'm gonna make you scream," he shouted to the audience before singing this tune.
