When I was mad young, my uncle was trying to feed me and I was mad rebellious. I wanted to feed myself and he was like nah, and he was trying take the fork away from me. So he was feeding me and I wouldn’t let go, so his hand slipped and jerked back into my eye…

On June 25, 2012, Musiq released a book on love and relationships entitled “143 – Love According To Musiq”. The book’s title is inspired by the favorite number of television host Fred Rogers, since the phrase “I love you” has 8 characters: 1 in “I”, 4 in “love” and 3 in “you”.

The following singles were the duet IfULeave featuring Mary J. Blige; and the ballad SoBeautiful. “SoBeautiful” marked the first collaboration between Musiq and the producer JR Hutson, after Hutson had spent “about eight months” trying to get Musiq to come by his studio. According to Hutson, the two plan to work together again.
