Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about So Special. By Songfacts®.

This John Legend featuring track is from Lil Wayne's ninth studio album, Tha Carter IV. It was released on August 29, 2011, ten months after the rapper's release from Rikers prison where he'd served eight months on weapons possession charges.

Cash Money President Mack Maine told MTV News Wayne conceptualized Tha Carter IV in three stages: pre-prison, in-prison and post-prison. "He did the 'Blunt Blowin' joint as soon as he got out. He actually wrote that one while he was in Rikers," he said. "But he also did 'So Special' and he did 'She Will' when he came home, which the ladies are gonna love. So that was kinda like the difference."
