It's just in time for summer and the type of experience that I want people to get out of the album.

I was able to kind of be reintroduced in a way musically, and thank you to Diplo, but 'Scream' is really like the next step. Whereas the first song was a little bit more artistic and a little bit more soulful, and it has done everything, it probably exceeded my expectations, I mean, from the moment I was able to give it away.

Usher explained to MTV that 'Scream' was a record which 'represented the other side of the ', comparing 'Climax' to the former song: The song was released as the follow-up to ' Climax', as the second single from Usher's seventh studio album Looking 4 Myself. It was sent to mainstream and rhythmic radio on May 1, 2012. 'Scream' premiered on the internet on April 26, 2012, and was released as a digital download the following day. Directed by direction duo BB GUN, the video contains footage from the Fuerza Bruta show, with Usher reenacting his role as The Running Man, dancing with his love interest and running into a brick wall towards the video's closure. An accompanying music video premiered on the internet on June 12, 2012. Usher performed 'Scream' during several events and shows, including the Off-Broadway show Fuerza Bruta, the 2012 Billboard Music Awards and during E3 2012.

The song peaked within the top five in several other countries, including Canada, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). 'Scream' peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and went on to sell over one million copies in the country. 'Scream' was noted to contain heavily sexual overtones within its lyrics.
