"'What I Need'" is a song by American recording artist Ray J. It was written by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Fred Jerkins III, and Ray J for his 2005 album 'Raydiation', while production was handled by the former. Released as the second single from the album following "One Wish", it reached number 58 on 'Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Release and reception
"What I Need" earned generally positive reviews by critics. 'Billboard' magazine felt that the song "should be enough to momentum. Here, Ray J's vocals once again seem strained as he cops another plea to the woman he has done wrong. Despite its sap factor, "What I Need" will likely lap up radio play."
