As for her own single produced by Tricky and The Dream, she explained, "[That song] was written based on me having a good day. You know, I can have 30 or 40 [bad days]. I can have as many bad days as anyone. But I choose to say, 'I'm just fine.' Right now. You know those days when your hair looks good, you're not sitting in traffic, your man's not acting like an idiot? You're just fine. So it's okay to have those days. Instead of coming with something ungrateful to the universe, how about I come with something first that's says, 'You know what? It's okay. Enjoy this day if you're having a great day.' "

Blige's new album, Growing Pains, will be in stores on December 11, and she also worked with Ne-Yo, Stargate, Dre & Vidal, and Timbaland for the effort. The song written by Ne-Yo, "Work in Progress," is a favorite of Blige's, but she's not sure yet if it will be her second single.
