What is it about Akon that screams teenager's ringtone? I'm not sure whether it's because his records sound like they're designed to be blasted out from a Nokia 3366, or it's because they have actually been recorded on said mobile instrument. Tinny-sounding drum beats, intensely irritating nasal vocals, indulgent and arrogant lyrics, the list of annoyance factors related to Akon is endless. While the rapper apologises for pretty much everything he's ever done in his private life during this record, he isn't the slightest bit remorseful about the hellish rackets that he keeps forcing upon the general public.

How the chap has managed to get such illustrious musical figures as Eminem and Gwen Stefani onside becomes more and more confusing with every release. While Akon no doubt intends this single to portray him as some hard done-by geezer who's willing to take the flak for other people's misdemeanors, in reality it's just a chance for him to settle some scores. The whiny Lothario asks listeners for forgiveness over an incident where he performed a raunchy dance routine with a 14-year-old girl at a concert. The sentiment seems fair enough, but he can't let it lie without taking a dig at the girl's father and proclaiming his innocence in the whole affair. Akon's pomposity and self-importance would probably make Bono shake his head in disapproval. A truly abysmal song.
