"Sins of My Father" is a song recorded by American recording artist Usher for his seventh studio album ''Looking 4 Myself'' (2012). The song, a collaborative effort between Usher, Terry Lewis, Salaam Remi, and Rico Love, tells the story of a "tortured soul" in a "volatile" relationship." Critics noted Usher's relationship with ex-wife Tameka Foster to be the basis of the song, which contains references to their children together. Usher himself added that the song itself is a "kind of testament" for the type of father he is. "Sins of My Father" is a soul song that contains prominent blues, dub, Motown and reggae influences. It received universal acclaim from music critics, who cited it as a stand-out track on ''Looking 4 Myself''. Upon the release of ''Looking 4 Myself'', the song debuted at number 62 on the South Korea Gaon International Chart, with sales of 5,813 digital copies. ==Writing and recording== "Sins of My Father" was written by Usher, Rico Love, Salaam Remi and Terry Lewis. The production of the song was helmed by Remi, with Love also serving as its co-producer. Remi has previously produced songs such as "Made You Look" (''God's Son'', 2002) for American rapper Nas and "You Know I'm No Good" (''Back to Black'', 2006) for late English singer Amy Winehouse. In an interview with SoulCulture, Usher told that the inspiration for writing "Sins of My Father" is about dealing with things that people can't understand. He further stated that the past can bring people "down a road" because they are not aware of it. According to him, "The time spent with a father will teach you a certain understanding of live and how to cope and deal with things. The lack of a father being there can also teach you how to deal with life – and that’s what 'Sins Of The Father' is about ... That statement was made because that’s something that I felt." Usher added that the song itself is a "kind of testament" for the father he is.〔 Gleyder "Gee" Disla and Mark "Exit" Goodchild recorded "Sins of My Father" at Jungle City Studios in New York City, Doppler Studios in Atlanta, Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank and Instrument Zoo in Miami.〔 Alex Fremin, Jacob Dennis, Max Unruh and Ramon Rivas served as recording assistants.
