Rick Ross and Usher, who recently collaborated on the latter’s “Looking 4 Myself” single “Lemme See,” have once again teamed up for the Boss’ first “God Forgives, I Don’t” single. “Touch’N You” hit radio and the Web on Monday (May 14), and will arrive on iTunes on May 22.
As its title suggests, “Touch’N You” finds Ross in sensitive, slow jam mode, grunting at his lady love, “It’s me against the world, now what’s your phone number?/Jumping in that Range Rover, and I’m coming over.” Usher provides the sweet nothings of the chorus as Rico Love’s beat throbs underneath his heavenly voice.

After its late 2011 release date was pushed back, “God Forgives, I Don’t,” Ross’ fifth studio album, is set for a July 31 release on Def Jam Recordings/Maybach Music Group. Before that, MMG’s second compilation album, “Self Made 2,” will drop on June 26, and Meek Mill‘s Maybach debut “Dreams and Nightmares” is coming on Aug. 28.
Meanwhile, “Lemme See” climbs to No. 45 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart after debuting at No. 62 on the tally. That Ross-Usher duet previews “Looking 4 Myself,” due out on June 12.
