43 Usher Song Lyrics To Use As Captions For Your Next IG Post

We’re only a few days away from Usher’s Super Bowl performance, and the anticipation is growing stronger. It’s no secret that Usher has an extensive and straight-up legendary catalog. His career spans longer than the lifetime of most Gen Zers, and he’s still such a relevant artist. His music industry resilience is a testament to his musical talent.

The last few months have been nothing short of iconic for the R&B legend, from his historic Vegas residency to gracing the January 2024 cover of Vogue. Looks like fans will continue to be fed because he’s not slowing down anytime soon. 

The R&B legend continues to build excitement for his ninth studio album, Coming Home, which will be released two days before the 2024 Super Bowl. We know Usher for his lover-boy lyrics and heartfelt songs about the ups and downs of relationships. Since we’ll soon have his new music, what better time than to look at all the gut-wrenching, swoon-worthy, and heartfelt lyrics the singer has given us over the years?

I’ve compiled a list of all the Usher lyrics that would make perfect Instagram captions. 

“I’ll be your groupie baby ’cause you are my Superstar star.”— “Superstar” 

Never settle ladies.

“You’re my girl. I’m gon’ tell it to the whole wide world.” — “U Got It Bad”

Take notes significant others. This is perfect for an IG hard launch. 

“You got it bad when you’re on the phone, hang up and call right back.” — “U Got It Bad”

We’ve all been there.

“You make me wanna leave the one I’m with and start a new relationship with you, this is what you do.”  — “You Make Me Wanna…”
“You remind me of a girl that I once knew.” “U Remind Me”

Perfect to use for that glow-up pic.

“There goes my baby.” —“There Goes My Baby” 

When you just want to show your SO off to the world. 

“I’m never gonna tell you nothing wrong”— “Moving Mountains”

Please don’t. I’m sensitive. 

“Spotlights, big stage. Fifty thousand fans screamin’ in a rage. Bodyguards and limousines. This is the way I see you in my dreams” — “Superstar” 

Umm, goals. 

“It’s seven o’clock on the dot. I’m in my drop-top cruising the streets.” — “Nice & Slow”

This is a perfect caption for a video montage of you and your friends taking a night drive.

“You are the one” — “U R The One”
“Let’s make what we got here last forever.” — “New Flame”

Perfect for a pic of you and your SO (or of you and your bestie)! 

“DJ got us fallin’ in love again.” — “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love”

This song is always included on party playlists so why not use it as a caption!!

“I’m in the club with my homies, tryna get a lil’ V-I, keep it down on the low key.” — “Yeah!”

Perfect for a group pic with your besties. 

 “If there’s a question of my heart, you’ve got it.” — “Matrimony”
“I found you, finally.” — “OMG”

This one would be perfect for a food photo showing off your Super Bowl spread.

“Honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow.” — “OMG”

Show off that game-day ‘fit that accentuates your best assets.

“See I don’t know about ya’ll, but I know about us” — “My Boo” 

Perfect for a pic of you and your SO on game day. 

“You’re truly special, your love is legendary to me” — “Superstar”
 “It’s the only way we know how to rock.” — “My Boo”

Name a better song than “My Boo”… I’ll wait.

“Peace up, A-Town down.” — “Yeah!”
“Girl, you got me saying, “My, my, my” (My)” – “Nice & Slow”

Use this lyric to hype up your bestie in the comments under their post.

“My way” — “My Way”
“We got to vibe, we a wave.” — “No Limit”

This would be perfect for a picture of you and your boo — especially if you’re wearing matching jerseys. 

“Don’t leave your girl around me, true playa for real.” — “U Don’t Have To Call”
“Somebody said that your boyfriend’s looking for me.” — “Boyfriend”
“Been doing it my way, getting my way for years.” — “My Way”

I’ll do what I want when I want. 

“I’ve been waiting all day to wrap my hands around your waist and kiss your face” – “There Goes My Baby” 
“Situations will arise in our lives, but you gotta be smart about it.” — “U Don’t Have To Call”

Both teams need their fans to keep the faith!

“You don’t have to call.” — “U Don’t Have To Call” 

Especially when the Halftime Show is happening.

“No limit.” — “No Limit”

For when you’re feeling yourself in your Super Bowl ‘fit! 

“Watch me as I dance under the spotlight.” — “More”

Nothing will stop me and my besties from dancing along to Usher’s performance. 

“I need a bad girl.” — “Bad Girl” 
“Can you handle it if I go there, baby with you?” —  “Can U Handle It?” 
“Baby, you got my attention, what you gon’ do with it?” — “Seduction”
“We ain’t good, good, but we still good.” — “Good Good”

In case you need lyrics for when you’re in your feelings. 

“I hate that we ain’t make it to forever. Probably ain’t getting back together.” — “Good Good”
“There’s always that one person that will always have your heart. You never see it comin’ cause you’re blinded from the start” — “My Boo” 
“Baby, lemme love you down” — “OMG”

Another great lyric to use to show off your game day food options.

“We made a mess of what used to be love.” — “Climax”
“What I gotta do now to get my shorty back?” — “Burn”
“When I’d go home at night and lay down my head down. All I seemed to think about was you” — “You Make Me Wanna…”

When your team lost the biggest game of the year and all you can think about is how they could’ve come out on top.

“It seems we’re going nowhere fast. We’ve reached the climax.” — “Climax”

When you’re team is losing and the game’s almost over. 

“Take that and rewind it back.” — “Yeah!”

Let’s see that game replay!

It’s safe to say that Usher has a song lyric for every situation, making him one of the greats. I’m excited to hear what music he has in store for us for the 2024 Super Bowl, and I’m sure they’ll all make great captions for our Instagram pics.
