" Just Fine" was released as the album's lead single on October 2, 2007. So in that way the title represents the growth, as well as the understanding that – in order for anything to develop – it has to have some kinda tension behind it. While the less poppy, darker tracks represent the places I'm forced to grow out of. So the light, happy songs on the album are celebrating my growth. And the only way to continue to stay in that place is to GROW! I believe the majority of people out there, if something uncomfortable is going on in their lives, are forced to either go back to where they were, or to GROW – and that that tension is called PAIN. So it was important to me to get across to my fans that whole feeling I was going through of 'How do I sustain this breakthrough? How do I continue to remind myself I'm in a better place?'.
I started writing the record right after that whole gigantic day I had at the Grammies last year. In an interview for Blues & Soul, Blige explained the significance of the album's title, stating: Growing Pains was awarded the Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 51st Grammy Awards in February 2009. The third official single, " Stay Down" reached the top 40 R&B charts, and was chosen in favor of " Hurt Again", which was originally the third single, but eventually was only a radio single by receiving airplay in Spring 2008. " Work That" was released as the second single on December 18, 2007, and managed to peak inside the top 20 of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number 65 in the Billboard Hot 100. Growing Pains was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone 's list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007 and was eventually certified Platinum by RIAA. An R&B album that was released on December 18, 2007, by Geffen Records, it debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, selling 629,000 copies in its first week, and reached number one in January 2008.
