前兩天習(xí)近平主席在華盛頓參加奧巴馬總統(tǒng)舉行的國宴時(shí)，大家只關(guān)注了出席國宴的商界大佬，卻沒發(fā)現(xiàn)美國R&B實(shí)力唱作人Ne-Yo也在國宴現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，而且他還現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演助興了哦，唱的是他的名曲“Because of You”。這首歌是Ne-Yo發(fā)表于2007年的專輯《Because of You》中的同名首發(fā)曲，是很多歌迷播放器里的必備曲目。

Ne-Yo: Because Of You

Ooo, want to but I can't help it

I love the way it feels

This got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real

I need it when I want it

I want it when I don't

Tell myself I'll stop everyday

Knowing that I won't

I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it)

Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit

But I doubt it; I'm

Taken by the thought of it

And I know this much is true

Baby, you have become my addiction

I'm so strung out on you

I can barely move, but I like it

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)

And it's all because of you (all because of you)

So, then it's all because

Never get enough

She's the sweetest drug

Think of it every second

I can't get nothing done

Only concern is the next time I'm gon' get me some

Know I should stay away from

'Cause it's no good for me

I try and try, but my obsession won't let me leave

I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it)

Ooo, even if I did, I don't know if I would quit

But I doubt it, I'm

Taken by the thought of it

And I know this much is true

Baby, you have become my addiction

I'm so strung out on you (strung out on you)

I can barely move, ooo, but I like it (but I like it)

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)

And it's all because of you (all because of you)

So, then it's all because

Never get enough (never get enough)

She's the sweetest drug

Ain't no doubt (no doubt, hey)

So strung out (strung out, hey)

Ain't no doubt

So strung out (hey)

(Over you)

Over you (you)

Over you (you)

(Because of you

And it's all because of you

Mmm, never get enough

She's the sweetest drug)

Ne-Yo原名Shaffer C. Smith，效仿《黑客帝國》影片里男主角的名字Neo給自己起了一個(gè)NE-YO的藝名，出生于美國阿肯色州一個(gè)音樂世家，自幼生活在一個(gè)單親家庭，被母親撫養(yǎng)長(zhǎng)大。為了使Ne-Yo有更好的發(fā)展，母親帶著他移居拉斯維加斯。2004年，一直潛心創(chuàng)作的Ne-Yo一鳴驚人，他和馬里奧（Mario）合作創(chuàng)作的單曲《Let Me Love You》不僅曾連續(xù)九周壟斷Billboard Hot 100單曲榜，還以1億8千9百50萬次的收聽次數(shù)創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的成為電臺(tái)單周收聽量最大的單曲。其中，由Ne-Yo創(chuàng)作的感人至深歌詞更是給人留下了很深的印象。在2006年首張專輯發(fā)行之前，Ne-Yo的歌聲還不為人所知，但作為一名出色的詞曲創(chuàng)作人，Ne-Yo這個(gè)名字已經(jīng)響徹整個(gè)美國R&B音樂圈。從90年代末開始，Ne-Yo就開始為多位一線歌手創(chuàng)作歌曲，這其中包括了瑪麗·J·布里奇（Mary J. Blige），魯本·斯圖達(dá)德（Ruben Studdard），B2K，克里斯蒂娜·米蘭（Christina Milian），吉米·?？怂梗↗amie Foxx）和海瑟·海德麗（Heather Headley）等。
