Track Description
Available in:
"True" is a song by American recording artist Brandy Norwood recorded for her fifth studio album Human (2008). Originally written and composed by RedOne along with Claude Kelly for Michael Jackson, the song deals with betrayal and heartbreak. "True" is a pop-R&B ballad that is features instrumentation by the piano and strings. Lyrcially the song deals with trust issues. The protagonist sings to an indifferent love interest, wondering whether she is his only one and whether he loves her.

"True" was generally well received by contemporary music critics who stated that it is one of the album's strongest ballads. Following the release of Human, "True" charted at number 18 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles, a chart composed of 25 positions that represent songs that are making progress to chart on the main R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. The song was part of Brandy's set list for her Just Human Tour (2009) across the world.


"True" was written by RedOne and Claude Kelly and conceived amid recording sessions for Lady Gaga's The Fame (2008) in New York City in 2007. The pair originally wrote the song from a male perspective with Michael Jackson in mind but the opportunity of handing it over to Jackson upon finishing the demo "kind of past", according to Kelly. The following year, Epic Records A&R manager Brandon Creed heard a demo version performed by Kelly, feeling that it would fit Norwood's upcoming debut with the label. Kelly said, "Brandon Creed heard the song and was like 'this would be great for Brandy'. So Brandy went in and we changed the key, changed a couple of words so it made sense for her and made it honest to her point of view. Perfect vocals, perfect emotions, she brought that song to life very easily. It’s actually one of my favorites too."

Norwood's version of "True" was recorded at Larrabee Studios, in Los Angeles, California, in 2008, featuring production by RedOne and a co-production credit by Norwood. Adam Messinger and RedOne played the piano, while Mathias Bylund performed the strings. The song was mixed by Manny Marroquin and RedOne with assistance by Chris Plata and Erik Madrid. All background vocals and harmonies were sung and arranged by Norwood. The song was mastered by Brian Gardner.
