Seven Days (Mary J. Blige song)


"Seven Days" is a song written and produced by Malik Pendleton and released as a single by American singer Mary J. Blige as the fourth release off her 1997 album Share My World on March 20, 1998. The song is the fourth and final single from MCA Records. The song is supported with a guitar solo from guitarist George Benson.
The song talks about a woman going through a dilemma in a relationship with a man who had been her best friend before a game of "truth or dare" led to them experiencing a relationship that has left Blige and the man in question at a crossroads of how to address each other.
Blige gave a memorable performance of "Seven Days" at the 25th American Music Awards, again with a guitar solo from Benson, and Blige picked up an award for "Favorite Soul/R&B Album" for the single's parent album Share My World.
