Featuring Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child, this song is about a girl who thinks about another guy even when she's with her boyfriend (thus the "Dilemma"). Nelly and Kelly act this out in the video, but also in the song, as they sing to each other by name.
This was the first big release for Kelly Rowland away from her group, Destiny's Child. Nelly was an established star and hot on the charts, but Rowland was not widely known on her own. "Dilemma" was a good (and very safe) way to introduce her as a solo artist and get her ready for her first album. The song appeared on both Nelly's album Nellyville and on Roland's debut solo album, Simply Deep.
The chorus is based on Patti LaBelle's 1983 song, "Love, Need And Want You." LaBelle also shows up in the video, playing Rowland's disapproving mother.
