"Closer" is a song by American R&B singer Ne-Yo. The song was written and produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate.〔(Ne-Yo's 'Gentleman' Inspired By Davis, Sinatra ) at (Billboard )〕 It was released as the lead single from Ne-Yo's third studio album ''Year of the Gentleman'' (2008).
"Closer" reached number one in the UK, scoring Ne-Yo his second UK number one, following 2006's "So Sick". "Closer" became the fifteenth biggest selling single in the UK in 2008 according to BBC Radio 1's chart of the year. The song and its music video were used in a commercial for Overstock.com in early 2008. The commercial was also used as promotional tool for ''Year of the Gentleman''.
==Background==
"Closer" marked a musical departure for Ne-Yo, taking on a dance-pop style over the more rhythmic and urban sound his songs usually possess. In the song, Ne-Yo sings of having an urging attraction to a woman he sees, having the desire to "come closer" to her. His attraction to her becomes stronger, and almost hypnotic, as he sings "And I just can't pull myself away, under a spell I can't break/I just can't stop." The song was featured in episodes of The CW shows ''Gossip Girl'' and ''90210''.
Speaking in May 2008 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning Blues & Soul, Ne-Yo explained the inspiration behind the song: "It was very much inspired by just the vibe of some of these house and techno clubs we went to while we were in London. You know, kinda smoky, kinda dark and mysterious... With just that constant, four-on-the-floor house beat that just really gets bashed into your skull the whole time you're there, by the way the music makes you feel. I basically tried to capture that energy and put the Ne-Yo spin on it. And 'Closer' was the end result."〔(Ne-Yo interview by Pete Lewis, 'Blues & Soul' June 2008 )〕
