"Nice & Slow" is a 1998 single from Usher's second album My Way. It became his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in early 1998. However, in the UK, it did not follow the number one success of "You Make Me Wanna...", only peaking at #24, therefore becoming the final single from the album there. The song was written by Brian & Brandon Casey of the R&B group Jagged Edge, Manuel Seal Jr., Jermaine Dupri and Usher Raymond.
