The R&B singer, whose song 'Papers' chronicles a man's struggle with a failing marriage, filed for divorce from his wife Tameka Foster last year. Usher claimed that he did not know that he would get a divorce when the song was written.
"I think people would have immediately alluded to the fact I was talking about my wife when I made that record - and now my ex-wife", Usher said. "When the song was recorded, I wasn't divorced."
Foster has also stated that the song was strictly for "entertainment" and should not be taken literally.
Usher will release the album Raymond v. Raymond, produced by Zaytoven and written by Sean Garrett, on March 30.
