Fact: Nelly‘s latest LP ‘5.0’ has been as successful as the war in Iraq. However, in what appears to be the smartest move yet in the handling of the project, the Kelly Rowland-assisted ‘Gone’ has been confirmed as the album’s next official single.
Full story after the jump…
Set to impact Mainstream radio on January 18th, the Jim Jonsin produced cut serves as the third official release from the LP, which spawned Platinum Pop smash ‘Just A Dream’.
Sources close to camp Nelly stress that though the Hip-Pop star remains disappointed with the performance of the project, he and Universal Motown are adamant to give the LP at least one other positive face beyond the success of ‘Just A Dream’. Hence, reportedly in the works, is a video for the single too. Watch this space.
Haven’t heard ‘Gone’ yet? Take a listen below…
This should have been his 1st single!
Song is definitely a crappy version of “Dilemma” and I’m sure with Nelly’s label not making much money from this project, the video will also be a crappy version of “Dilemma.”
BYE.
THE SONG SUCKS KELENDRIA (KELLY) AND CORNELL (NELLY) NEEDS TO HANG IT UP, FLATSCREEN!
I WAS rooting for Smelly Flopland but 2011 is here now:

“Its Just The Way The Game Is Played, It’s Best If You Just Wait Your TURN!!”
I’m excited about this… I’m sure this will be a success depending on promotion and could bring in some single sales. The album is done, IMO.
I’m excited Kelly is getting ready to make a return and drag b****** by their nappy lace.
this s*** so repetitive. song is out dated but whatever
Great Choice! This track is so feel good! hopefully another smash for them both, im hoping for a really good video!
I don’t think it’s a good single
I like it. Stop hatin because Kelly sounds 1 million times better than Rihanna. I hope it become a hit but the way the industry keeps throwing Rihanna in our faces I don’t know.
Kelly keep doing your thing girl
i have been waiting 4 tooooo long……..finally Gone is going to be released
Who cares it will FLOP hard anyway.Nobody is checking for Kelly.SMDH!
It’s a better choice than ‘Move That Body!’
Never Ever try to Repeat Past Success…looks like Nelly and Kelly clinging onto the success of Dilemma…Sorry to say its not gonna work!!
I LIKE THIS SONG!!! ITS BETTER THEN THAT S*** RIHANNA GOT OUT NOW!!!
I thought “LONG GONE! was going to be his third single! This sounds like crap in comparison!
WHY????
Nelly is a rapper…RAPPER not a singer/vocalist R.A.P.P.E.R
on 90% of this song his singing!!..if you call it singing more like breathing heavily and talking in tune!! why would you do this when you’ve got an original member of destinys child one of the most successful girl groups of all time on the track??
dilemma part 2 my ass the only dilemma with this song is why the f*** kelly let nelly ruin it…deserves to flop!!
oh bet kelly looks nice in the video tho!
@ S***
B**** SHUTCHA F*** ASS UP & GO SUCK A A*** INFECTED D*** U C***!
I’M DISSAPPOINTED IN THE SINGLE CHOSEN…..THE BEST SONG I’VE HEARD FROM NELLY ALBUM SO FAR HAS BEEN HIS SONG WITH DAWN RICHARD AKA DIRTY MONEY CALLED “K.I.S.S”
THEY REMADE TOTALS SONG “KISSING YOU” & THAT S*** GOES IN! DAWN WAS SINGING HER ASS OFF….THIS IS A BAD CHOICE IN SINGLES….
SMDH
Ok promo is gonna be needed…and good single choice. He should get a big push from pop radio nd rhythmic radio.

I was wondering if this was going to be a single or not because I definitely heard this on the radio the other day.
This single will help her more for her upcoming album & projects…. I’m so excited about her upcoming album!
I like this song . Hope it does well.
i agree with @TC K.I.s.s was the best song on that album Dawn sanged down. 2 meshe out shined nelly and murphy lee. need to be a single ASAP
NELLY FEAT. DIRTY MONEY aka DAWN RICHARD & MURPHY LEE – K.I.S.S http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&client=mv-google&hl=en&v=WJSXnCxl-VE
This is horrible. They need to give up on this album already/
YALL LOOK AT THIS F***** TRAGEDY BEYAWNCE…..LACEFRONT SO TIGHT IT’S YANKING HER SCALP CLEAN OFF DURING A LIVE PERFORMANCE… http://www.hairconspiracyextensions.com/images/beyonce-mask.jpg

EPIC-LACEFRONT TRAGEDY

Whatever. Nobody is checking for a Kelly and Nelly collabo.
This song is GREAT! If you not checking why are you on the post? @BREEZYTHEBEST You checked the post & clicked on it. Check for some common sense to know that if you weren’t checking you wouldn’t have even clicked & had the nerve to comment. Anyway, YAY! Punch Kelly & Nelly! The only thing I don’t like is Nelly’s singing, but Kelly’s clear smooth, commanding vocals more than make up for it.
Yes Kelly….seriously tho Kelly made this track!…I’m so excited for Kelly!!!!!…..Haters stay pressed!…and @Breezythebest i don’t think you are in the right place to talk about who is checking for whom considering your fav is most popular for gay bashing and hitting women…B****
LMMAO at Sam saying that about Nelly’s album! I love Kelly Rowland, but wtf is this? Nelly is a wackass “rapper” who’s “untalentedness” has been exposed. This song is such a pathetic attempt to regain the success that “Dilema” had. At least Kelly got paid and will get some exposure for being in the music video. Trust, hardly any radio stations will be playing this s***!
@ Dave Wow it is not that serious for Nelly or Kelly ,that’s exactly why I clicked the post out of sheer boredom.NEXT
@ Irvine You Softer Than Baby Puppies.BREEZYTHEBEST B****.
@ TC ;D
I agree with you about “K.I.S.S.”!!!!! But sadly, I think it was only a bonus track on the Deluxe edition.
Now I wish Kelly recorded THAT song! Still love the Dawn, Nelly, and Kelly tho. 🙂
Come on people! Hes been trying to sing for years!! GEt over it! This song should float right up! However it shouldve been released a bit earlier maybe around thanksgiving to capitalize on Just a DREAM! Jan 18 is fure sure a lil late, but I say shoot the video and do yo thang….if They want it to be just on an urban platform, ill understand no promo….
Maybe as like a 5th or last/final single but def not now.
the 2nd single should have been “Liv Tonight” even tho it features Miss Keri-ed Baby, it’s hott! And I do not know what the label was thinkin when the thought “Move That Body” would be a hit.
Yes Dr. Luke produced it, but overall the lyrics, still make it a s***** song!
“Gone” has Nelly singing way to much, no auto tune was necessary and he should have just sung rapped the entire song like “Dilemma” not how this was done! That bridge is DEAD with Nelly straight singing!
yall might not know this but nelly started off singing it might sound wierd now cuz your use to him rapping
I’m excited to see the video. Love the new album and love that song.
That song doesnt come close to Dilemma!… played it afew times to see if it will grow on me but i still hate it & it still SUCKS ASS!
Looking forward to the music video, even though I don’t care that much for the actual song….But then I haven’t listened to it enough, is it a grower or…?
And dead at the h** posting that old ass Beyonce photo with her lacefront looking jacked up. That image has been floating around the internet for years. Can we get a more recent photo? No? Well then sit ya ass down!
I’m just glad I’ll get to hear Kelly on the radio and the video will get Kelly some free press.
Thanks Nelly!
Kelly Rowland needs to release “Unity” as a worldwide single ! Still the best song she has ever recorded. Check it out on iTunes or YouTube ~ amazing !!!
Um…I don’t think this is the best idea. Like several people have said it is like a bad remake of ‘Dilemma’. Its somewhat catchy but it gets really repetitive and annoying after a while. It just doesn’t recapture the magic of the original. *shrugs* It might do a lil something on the r&b charts, but it won’t come close to what ‘Just a Dream’ did. SMH.
His album really isn’t that bad, he has some good songs on their, he and his label just keep choosing the wrong singles. He should have never released ‘Move That Body’. Just because T Pain was on and it was a dance track it doesn’t mean it was going to be a hit. He was following a trend that didn’t work for him.
He announced on twitter a while ago that ‘Long Gone’ with Plies and CB was going to be his next single. I think that has the potential to do much better on the charts, or maybe the one with him and Keri Hilson. SMH. I don’t think they should give up on the album but they just aren’t handling it right. Good luck though Nelly. *shrugs*
Most songs on the radio are overly repetitive, so I don’t get that argument. I love Kelly’s vocals on this track. I do believe this will benifit her more than him. This song will be an Urban smash on radio, and with a shirtless nelly, the video is bound to stay @ the top of 106n Park. Please stop the negativity in 2011, hell we already lost J Sullivan…
WOW, I ACTUALLY FEEL REALLY SORRY FOR THEM AFTER HEARING THIS. IT SUCH A BAD REMAKE OF ‘DILLEMA’, WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO THEMSELVES??? IT ONE THING TO COPY ANOTHERS WORK, ITS ANOTHER TO STEAL/REPEAT YOUR OWN WORK. WHAT, DO THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID AND WON’T NOTICE?! LOOOOOL
f*** all u hating ass ******* it u aint got nothing good to say dont say nothing and if u really look at it we will still never be them or have the $$$$ they have cuz im sure they aint broke
