Should I Go
"Should I Go" is a song by American recording artist Brandy Norwood from her fourth studio album, ''Afrodisiac'' (2004). It was written by Walter Millsap III, his collaborative partner Candice Nelson, and mentor Timbaland, while production was helmed by the latter. "Should I Go" is built on percussive beats, syncopated handclaps and a piano riff that samples British alternative rock band Coldplay's song "Clocks", written by Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, and Chris Martin for their second album, ''A Rush of Blood to the Head'' (2002). Lyrically, Norwood as the protagonist openly talks about contemplating stepping away from the music business, admitting that she's trying to figure out where she fits in today.
==Background==
In June 2002, Norwood gave birth to her daughter Sy'rai. Soon, she resumed work on her then-untitled fourth studio album with producer Mike City and companion Robert "Big Bert" Smith, the latter of which served as the album's executive producer and A&R. He replaced longtime contributor and mentor Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who Norwood felt was not going in the same direction creatively after all,〔 and kept her from exploring her "versatility, () creativity and () art." The couple eventually finished a number of demo recordings and at least four full songs until late November 2002, and although Smith expected the album to drop by spring 2003 at one time or another, Norwood and Big Bert ended their relationship in mid-2003, resulting into the album's delay and several personnel changes. Norwood eventually decided to scrap most of the project, and instead enlisted rapper Timbaland, with whom the couple had previously worked on Kiley Dean's ''Simple Girl'' album, as the album's main contributor. Impressed by Timaland's input, Norwood rediscovered the musical affection, she had missed on previous album ''Full Moon''.
Timbaland consulted his protégé Walter Millsap III and writing partner Candice Nelson to work with him on the bulk of Norwood's fourth album.〔 Many of the themes and musical styles of their records were inspired by British alternative rock band Coldplay's debut album ''Parachutes'' (2000) which Nelson had just started listening to at the time. Conceived after the production of "I Tried" which samples Coldplay's "Sparks", "Should I Go" was written along a backing track Timbaland had produced around "Clocks", another Coldplay song from their second album ''A Rush of Blood to the Head''.〔 Impressed with Millsap and Nelson's knowledge of the British band, he played them the music he had crafted prior to recording sessions for ''Afrodisiac''.〔 The pair took it to the car, driving around while listening to it.〔
The development of "Should I Go" was motivated by the idea of what Millsap and Nelson imagined Norwood might feel at times and in the business as it was constantly changing.〔 On the accompanying writing process, Nelson commented that "it was like 'What else does Brandy feel besides love and all that? What else might be going through her mind?' That’s what we came up with. She had already been in the business for awhile and she had put out a few albums, so it was like 'What might somebody at that point in their career been thinking?'"〔 Upon hearing the demo, Norwood felt shocked but could relate to its topic.〔 Her vocals were recorded at The Criteria Hit Factory in Miami, Florida and Amerycan Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California, with production overseen by herself.〔 Timbaland and Jimmy Douglass mixed the track, while Douglass, Blake English, Demacio Castellon, Jeremal Hicks, and Halsey Quemere all assisted in the audio engineering of the track.〔
