Dilemma by Nelly Song Info
"Dilemma" is the hit single by rapper Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland, ex-Destiny's Child, released in 2002, from the 2002 album Nellyville. "Dilemma" was Kelly Rowland's first international single outside of Destiny's Child (she had a guest appearance on Avant's "Separated", which was only released in the US) and is also the first single from her debut studio album, Simply Deep . It has a melodic base and uses some excerpts from the lyrics of "Love, Need and Want You" by Patti LaBelle on her 1983 album, I'm In Love Again. Patti also appears in part of the music video, playing the role of Kelly Rowland's character's mother. Kelly Rowland's part in "Dilemma" was originally offered to Christina Aguilera, but Aguilera turned down the offer. Two years later, Nelly approached Aguilera again so she could record "Tilt Ya Head Back", a track that was critically acclaimed but had little commercial success (in terms of the Billboard Hot 100, the most important music chart in the world) from her next album. by Nelly, Sweat.
