Do we finally know who Usher's "My Boo" is based on? The 2004 released single that features the incredible Alicia Keys still gives fans all the feels whenever we hear it. Now, we may have just discovered one of the song's mysteries.
"My Boo" tells the story of an older Usher and Keys reminiscing about their younger days and their relationships at the time. "There's always that one person that will always have your heart/ You never see it coming 'cause you're blinded from the start," Usher starts. "Know that you're that one for me, it's clear for everyone to see/Oh baby, ooh/ You will always be my boo."
Last week on Twitter, someone posted a throwback photo of her older sister and Usher. Apparently, they used to date, while they were in school. "I'm dead my sis use to date usher in high school and she just now telling me this smh," the social media user's tweet read. Take a look at it below.

Granted, "My Boo" was jointly written by others besides Usher and Keys; such as Jermaine Dupri, Adonis Shropshire, and Manuel Seal, Jr.. But, it's still fun to speculate that we finally know who the boo Usher is singing about on the track truly is.
