Ever since his 2005 debut, Trey Songz had always been in the shadows of other male R&B acts. The game has been dominated by both R. Kelly and Usher for years. Ne-Yo was immediately added to the list, along with Jamie Foxx, in 2006.

In 2009, Usher's album was pushed back and Ne-Yo had no plans of releasing any music. Meanwhile, Mario and Trey Songz worked on new music. Mario released his album during the summer and Songz released his single during the summer.

Fans not familiar with Trey Songz had mistaken him for Mario more than once. Before the end of 2009, there was no question about who Trey Songz was. After his "I Invented Sex" hit, he received many comparisons to R. Kelly.

Last year, Ne-Yo and Usher both released new albums, but they were still being overshadowed by music released by Trey Songz in 2009. Before the end of last year, Trey Songz had released another album and it also overshadowed the releases from the other veterans. Now, with his popularity at an all-time high, Trey has decided to strike while the iron is hot.

Trey Songz is already back in the studio, working on his fifth studio album, which he plans to release before the end of 2011.
