Dilemma (song)
"Dilemma" is a song by American rapper Nelly, featuring American R&B singer Kelly Rowland. It was released on June 25, 2002 as the third single from the Nelly's second studio album ''Nellyville'' (2002), and the lead single from Rowland's debut solo album ''Simply Deep'' (2002). It was number one in ten countries, including the UK, the US and Australia, selling over 7.6 million copies worldwide.〔 ''(in Italian)''〕 The song depicts the declaration of forbidden love between the protagonists of two conflicting relationships.
In the 55th Anniversary of the Hot 100 issue of ''Billboard'' magazine, the song was ranked at number 75 on the all-time Hot 100 songs while at the end of 2009 was named the 11th most successful song from 2000 to 2009, on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 Songs of the Decade. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 45th Grammy Awards. "Dilemma" was accredited internationally with 16 certifications.
==Background and release==
St. Louis producer Bam handed Nelly a skeleton track which producer Ryan Bower produced, which samples and contains elements from Patti LaBelle's "Love, Need and Want You" from her 1983 album ''I'm In Love Again''. Upon hearing the beat, he began writing lyrics and then wrote a song out from it. Nelly decided to make the song a last-minute addition to his second album ''Nellyville'', which had already been completed prior to Bam giving him the track. Once Nelly returned to the studio to record the track, his vision changed, wanting to add a female vocal onto it. He instantly thought of girl group Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland, whom he had met during the ''TRL'' tour in 2001. Nelly called Rowland by phone and agreed. After a few days of recording, during which Rowland rerecorded her part many times to achieve it "just right", "Dilemma" was completed.〔
Once ''Nellyville'' was released in the United States on June 25, 2002, radio programmers started playing "Dilemma". By July 2002, the track had reached the top ten of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 based on airplay alone. This prompted Nelly to release it as the album's second single, although it was not the original plan. The single was released on July 30, 2002. The decision affected the early plans for Destiny's Child members, whose members were held on hiatus to pursue solo album releases. As part of their strategy, each member's albums were to be staggered with member Beyoncé Knowles releasing in October 2002 and Rowland's album expected in early 2003.〔 Their management rescheduled the dates: Rowland eventually released her debut solo album, ''Simply Deep'', on October 28, 2002, ahead of Knowles, which caused her to move and push back her album release to a June 2003 date. "Dilemma" was released as the first single from the album, which served as a propeller for her solo career.〔 "Dilemma" is Rowland's first international solo single away from the group: she had previously appeared on R&B singer Avant's single "Separated", which was released in the United States in July 2000.
