"'U Don't Have to Call'" is a song by American singer Usher. It was written by Pharrell Williams and produced by the Neptunes for Usher's third studio album, '8701' (2001). The song was released as the third US single from the album and the fifth international single. In the US, it was initially serviced to radio on January 18, 2002, and it was eventually issued as a commercial single in Europe and Australia later in the year.
"U Don't Have to Call" peaked at number three on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100 singles chart. In the United Kingdom, it was released as a double A-side with "I Need a Girl (Part One)" by P. Diddy, on which Usher provides additional vocals; this release reached number four on the UK Singles Chart. "U Don't Have to Call" won Usher his second consecutive Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2003. The single's music video was filmed in Los Angeles at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and features Usher going to a club with Sean Combs and other celebrities.
