Lyrics:

If you're just joining, we're in the studio tonight with Ashanti. How you feeling?

Feeling great, I'm excited

You look good. So, to your fans all over the world, your third album, what should they get from this?

Um, I really want people to feel me on this one. This is definitely my best album. I'm just really excited about it. The lyrics are just a little bit deeper, hooked back up with 7 Aurelius, so it's a beautiful thing

The album's crazy. So explain to everyone the title 'Concrete Rose'

Concrete Rose because, like, when you think of hip-hop, you think of something grimy, grungy, kind of gritty. Concrete, when you think of R&B, you think of something soft, sensual, you know, kind of like a rose. My music is considered hip-hop and R&B, so hence, 'Concrete Rose'
