《Dilemma》是在尼力的录音室专辑《Nellyville》完成之时被收录进来的。在专辑完成时一位製作人向尼力呈交了一份本曲的框架。而当尼力听到歌曲的节奏时，便喜欢上了这首歌曲，并决定将歌曲添至《Nellyville》内。随后他补充了歌曲的其余部分，完成了整首歌曲的谱写。而在之后进入录音室时，尼力改变了自身的想法，他认为歌曲需要一位女歌手的合作参与。他想到了好友凯莉·罗兰，并一直坚持与其合作的观点。尼力通过电话联繫到了她，而之后才有了这首歌曲的诞生。歌曲取样了女歌手帕蒂·拉贝尔的歌曲《Love, Need and Want You》。

I love you and I need you

Nelly, I love you, I do

Need you

No matter what I do

All I think about is you

Even when I'm with my boo

Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do

All I think about is you

Even when I'm with my boo

You know I'm crazy over you

Uh-uh-uh-uh

I met this chick and she just moved right up the block

From me

And she got the hots for me, the finest thing I need

To see

But oh, no, no, she got a man and a son, oh-oh, but

That's okay

Cause I wait for my cue and just listen, play my

Position

Like a shortstop, pick up everything mami hittin'

And in no time I better make this friend mine and

That's for sure

Cause I-I never been the type to break up a happy

Home

But there's something 'bout baby girl, I just cant

Leave her lone

So tell me, ma, what's it gonna be

She said, you don't know what you mean to me, come

On

No matter what I do

All I think about is you

Even when I'm with my boo

Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do

All I think about is you

Even when I'm with my boo

You know I'm crazy over you

Uh-uh-uh-uh

I see a lot in your look and I never say a word

I know how nigures start actin' trippin', and hate up

All the girls

And there's no way Nelly go for it

Ain't fuckin' with no dame, as you could see

But I-I like your steeze, your style, your whole

Demeanor

The way you come through and holler, and swoop me in

His two-seater

Now that's gangsta and I got special ways to thank ya,

Don't you forget it

But it ain't that easy for you to back up and leave

Him

But you and me we got ties for different reasons

I respect that and right before I turned to leave

She said, you don't know what you mean to me, come

On

No matter what I do

All I think about is you

Even when I'm with my boo

Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do

All I think about is you

Even when I'm with my boo

You know I'm crazy over you

Sing it for me, k

I love and I need you

Nelly, I love you, I do

And it's more than you'll ever know

Boy, it's for sure

You can always count on my love

Forever more, yeah, yeah

即使和我的爱人在一起

你知道我只为你疯狂

听着听着听着 喔 我遇见一位刚搬到我们家对面的美女 看了就让人神魂颠倒

看了就让人神魂颠倒 这一带最正的辣妹

可是唉 她已经有了男人 天啊！还有个儿子 喔 没关係

我可以耐心等待上场的时机 暗中观察

各就各位 当个游击

这样一来马上我 我要这个靓妹变我的 这是一定要的了

不过我从来没有当过第三者 拆散别人的家庭

可是宝贝 你独特的魅力令我无法抗拒

所以告诉我该怎幺做才好？

她说你不了你对我有多重要

不管我做什幺

脑袋里想的全是你

即使和我的爱人在一起

你知道我只为你疯狂

听着，听着 喔 我看多了，你看看我 我从来没半句抱怨

正牌黑人煞到靓妹就魂飞魄散

尼力又不是神 哪能抗拒得了这诱惑

你也知道我本性难移 说真的

我喜欢你的小动作 你的风格 你整个人

你靠过来 和我在他的敞篷车上

太棒了 我要特别谢谢你 想不想和我再爱一次

不过啊 我知道 硬叫你甩掉他跟着我也不容易

但是呢 你下半辈子就得忍气吞声 我全了

就在我转身离开的那一刻

她说你不知道你对我意味着什幺

不管我做什幺

脑袋里想的全是你

即使和我的爱人在一起

我只为你神魂颠倒

不管我做什幺

脑袋里想的全是你

即使和我的爱人在一起

Boy这是一定的了

你可以相信我的爱

比永远还要多一点

东岸的同胞 瞧你摇得起劲

南部的台客 看你跳的正爽

西岸的友人 瞧你走的有型

因为你不知道你对我意味着什幺

三不管地带 看你忙着升旗

不管我做什幺

脑袋里想的全是你

即使和我的爱人在一起

我只为你神魂颠倒

不管我做什幺

脑袋里想的全是你

即使和我的爱人在一起

你知道我只为你疯狂

东岸的同胞 瞧你摇得起劲

南部的台客 看你跳的正爽

西岸的友人 瞧你走的有型

你不知道你对我意味着什幺

正如歌曲歌名，歌曲展示了一位陷入热恋的女性面对感情禁忌时的宣言以及男主角面临的进退两难的处境，是帕蒂·拉贝尔1983年歌曲《Love, Need and Want You》甜蜜直白的补充语。歌曲像是所处周围环境的音调，在某些方面拥有着其他艺术家的作品中所不具备的内容。这首歌曲以尼力所谱写的歌词和以尼力的风格诉说的故事打动了听众。整首歌曲以F大调为主，节拍设为每分钟84次。

音乐录影带由本尼·伯姆担任导演，在美国好莱坞环球影城完成拍摄。故事设定在一处名为Nellyville的小镇，讲述了凯莉·罗兰与她的母亲（帕蒂·拉贝尔饰）搬到了这座小镇，成为了尼力的邻居。凯莉·罗兰与尼力在慢慢接触的过程中产生了爱情的火花，在视频中也出现了两人亲密接触的镜头。而之后两人之间的关係出现了问题。尼力尝试联繫上罗兰，而罗兰则只是看完翻盖手机上的内容后将其扔在了一旁。在视频的结尾，凯莉·罗兰同她的男友（拉里·休斯饰）在剧院门口排队等候时，遇上了刚从剧院中出来的尼力及其女友。
