"It's Your World" is a song by American recording artist Jennifer Hudson featuring fellow singer R. Kelly, recorded for her third studio album JHUD (2014). It was written by R. Kelly and produced by DJ Terry Hunter. Released worldwide on July 8, 2014 as the album's third single, Hudson sang it for the first time at BET Awards 2014 on June 29, 2014.[1] No music video was made for the single. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance.[2] In 2019, Hudson removed "It's Your World" from all streaming platforms and stopped performing it in support of women who had come forward with stories of abuse from the song's writer, R. Kelly.[3]
"It's Your World" was written by frequent Hudson collaborator R. Kelly, while production was handled by DJ Terry Hunter.[4] Commenting on its composition, Hudson wrote on Twitter: "R. Kelly had to be thinking about Aretha Franklin's "Think" when he created my song "It's Your World". It's a vocal marathon!"[5]
