Usher says that his hit song "Climax" isn't actually about what everyone seems to think its about--sex.
"It's odd that people view 'Climax' as a sexual song," the R&B star told an Atlanta radio station. "It's not. It's not even about sex."
The singer clarified that the song's meaning is "really about the ultimate experience or finale of an experience of love and life."
He continued, "When you're in a relationship and it's kinda reached the climax of where it could go, you gotta let it go if you're not gonna commit and that's what the song's about."
Usher does say, however, that the album as a whole does have some sexual undertones.
"That is the double entendre of how the music works," he said. "It's not about sex. It's about an out-of-control experience, when a person has reached the peak of that experience."
