Sure Thing

"Sure Thing" is a single from Los Angeles born R&B singer-songwriter Miguel's debut album, All I Want Is You. He penned the song as a pledge of his devotion to an ex-girlfriend after cheating on her. "I believed we could overcome adversity, obviously unbeknownst to her," Miguel told MTV News. "But I wrote a record for her about how perfect we were for each other."

Miguel told The Boombox why he wrote about his own romantic escapades on his debut album. "On All I Want Is You, I discussed my experience in my last three or four relationships. It was a great way to introduce myself because I think love brings us all together," he said.

Veteran hip-hop director Hype Williams (Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind," Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot") shot the music video in Honolulu, Hawaii. It features scenes of the singer dancing in a narrow, backlit hallway intercut with shots of his love interest. Miguel told Baller Status: "The video was set out to be an art piece and evolved into more of an emotional collage of images that I hope really conveys the emotion of the song, but more importantly, I think it’s the imagery in the song that I used to explain my infinity of this other person, my girlfriend at the time."
