"My Boo" is a duet between American R&B singers Usher and Alicia Keys, written by the artists alongside Adonis Shropshire, Manuel Seal, and Jermaine Dupri, the latter of whom produced it with No I.D.—who is uncredited.

Commercially the single stayed on top of the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, becoming Usher seventh and Keys' second number one on the chart.

During the production of Usher's fourth studio album, Confessions, they thought of various female singers to pair him with on the song.

Usher and Kortney Kaycee Leveringston's rare demo version can be found floating on the Internet.

[3] However, Jermaine Dupri, who co-wrote the song including Usher's number-one hits "Yeah!

", "Burn", and "Confessions Part II", felt that he had established good relationship with Keys since she had worked with him and Usher.

"[6][3] "My Boo" was not included in the final track listing of Confessions (neither were Red Light" or the songs Usher recorded with P. Diddy and The Neptunes).

[17] In a 2022 review Stereogum wrote that Usher and Keys are both "a premium on conveying intimacy" singing the song "gracefully, getting tons of warmth and fondness across", praising the production for using " a string-loop, a sighing ahh-ahh effect, strutting drums and acoustic-guitar noodles".

[29] Directed by both Usher and music video director Chris Robinson, "My Boo" clip was filmed in New York City.

[6] The footage starts with Usher in a living room watching a video for "Bad Girl", a song from Confessions.

The "Bad Girl" intro features Usher singing the song in a club setting while admiring a scantily-dressed woman.

The video then shows him and Alicia Keys in their separate quarters, preparing to head out, while singing their part of the song.

She leaves the car and walks down the street, and the couple meet up in the middle of Times Square, cuddling each other and on the brink of kissing.

[35] Usher and Keys performed the song at the former's Super Bowl LVIII halftime show.
