Grown & Sexy

Grown & Sexy is the sixth studio album by American singer Babyface. It was released by Arista Records on July 26, 2005 in the United States. Originally titled A Love Story and due to be released on March 23, 2004, its release was shelved after lead single "The Loneliness" failed to attract radio airplay/sales. The album was later reworked into Grown & Sexy with three songs ("The Loneliness", "God Must Love U", "The Getting 2 Know U") being taken from the A Love Story sessions.

The album received largely mixed to negative reviews from music critics, who were deeply divided over his decision to return to his earlier sound and dismissed much of the material as generic. Commercially, it reached number ten on the US Billboard 200 and number 3 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, becoming Babyface's highest-charting album since The Day (1996). "Sorry for the Stupid Things" and "Grown & Sexy," two further singles from the album, both entered the top ten on the Adult R&B Songs chart.
