"Confessions," produced by Jermaine Dupri and many others, was Usher's fourth studio album. It sold 1.1 million copies in its first week, and is the second-best selling album of the 2000s decade in the United States, according to Billboard.

The Grammy-award wining album spawned the No. 1 hits “Yeah,” “Burn,” “Confessions Part II,” and “My Boo.”

When fans heard the artist might be returning with a follow-up to the classic, they took to Twitter to share their excitement.
