Dive (Usher song)
"Dive" is a song recorded by American recording artist Usher for his seventh studio album ''Looking 4 Myself'' (2012). It was written and produced by Rico Love, Jim Jonsin, Danny Morris and Frank Romano. "Dive" is a slow-paced R&B ballad with elements of pop music, with Usher making use of his falsetto range. Its lyrics use the metaphor of diving, which was interpreted by critics to discuss a commitment to a relationship. The song was announced by Usher via Twitter as the fifth single from ''Looking 4 Myself'' on August 21, 2012. It was released to urban radio on August 28, 2012.
"Dive" was received well by critics, who praised its production and Usher's vocals, particularly his falsetto. An accompanying music video directed by Chris Applebaum, portrays Victoria's Secret Angel model Chanel Iman as Usher's love interest, showing them being intimate and making love in several scenes. Upon the release of ''Looking 4 Myself'', the song debuted at number 50 on the South Korea Gaon International Chart, with sales of 6,546 digital copies. "Dive" peaked at number 34 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, remaining on the chart for twelve weeks before dropping out.
==Composition and lyrics==
The track is a slow-paced R&B ballad with elements of pop music, that runs for a length of three minutes and 47 seconds. Throughout the song, Usher makes use of his falsetto range, to which ''Billboard'' Erika Ramirez described as "soulful".〔〔 Chuck Arnold of ''People'' complimented Usher's falsetto on both "Dive" and lead single "Climax", adding that the songs show"that he's a "better singer than ever".〔 Matt Cibula of PopMatters wrote that "Dive" contains a triple entendre in its lyrics: seemingly singing about diving or oral sex, "only to realize that what he's really discussing" is commitment to a relationship. Trent Fitzgerald of PopCrush perceived that the song's lyrics "metaphorically compares love to the crashing waters of the ocean".〔 Carrie Battan of Pitchfork media interpreted the lyrics as "explicit" which might "make you cringe if they'd come from of anyone else" in the line: "It's raining inside your bed/ No parts are dry/ Lovin' made you so wet/ Your Legs/ Your thighs".〔
