About this song
Released in September 2008, Miss Independent was Ne-Yo's second single and was certified double platinum by the RIAA. It reached number 7 on the US Billboard charts and won two Grammy awards in 2009, for best R&B song and best male R&B vocal performance. The music video shows Ne-Yo as a dapper businessman chasing a woman who doesn't seem to need him, with appearances by Lauren London, Gabrielle Union, Keri Hilson and Trey Songz.
What it's about
The song is about a woman Ne-Yo is drawn to, who is in charge of her own life and does not need the attention and money he lavishes on other women.
