#NewMusic: Ne-Yo Gets Personal on ‘Self Explanatory’ Album

R&B veteran Ne-Yo has released his “Self Explanatory” album, his first in four years since “Good Man.” 

The 13-track, 41-minute project includes previously released singles “Stay Down,” “U 2 Luv” and “Don’t Love Me.”  

Ne-Yo’s “Self Explanatory” seemingly takes a personal dive into his relationship with his wife, Crystal Smith. Ne-Yo told Entertainment Tonight that the single “Don’t Love Me” was inspired by his then potential divorce, calling it an “open letter” to his wife. 

Tracklist:

  1. Layin’ Low
  2. You Got The Body
  3. After Party
  4. Handle Me Gently
  5. Don’t Love Me
  6. U 2 Luv
  7. Push Up
  8. Proud of You
  9. Call Me Up
  10. What If
  11. Want it All or Nothing
  12. No Loot
  13. Stay Down
