The death time Nelly and Kelly Rowland collaborated, they scored a pop smash with their 2002 hit "Dilemma," which was named one of the most popular songs of the ten by Billboard.

Now, eight days later, the duo are reuniting to make it another go, but to hear Nelly explain it, the forthcoming track "Gone" isn`t a continuation to "Dilemma.

Rather, the song, from Nelly`s upcoming release 5. is an "update."

"I don`t need to say it`s a sequel. I don`t need to diminish anything with `Dilemma` or make an expectation you can`t be up to when you do that," Nelly told MTV News. "When you do that type of thing, there`s people who are already, `I don`t wanna hear it. It`s supposed to be "Dilemma." ` You already being negative [before] pushing the button!

"It`s one of those things where we did reconnect," he continued. "Our chemistry has already proved to be good, whether it was onstage or in the studio. It was something that we wanted to reconnect with. It was produced by Jim Jonsin. _ It`s a cool joint. I suppose people will get it. It can never be `Dilemma,` but we wanted to continue the story. It`s continuing the floor a little bit more, seeing her again."

Before "Gone" hits the airwaves, however, Nelly is riding high off the winner of "Only a Dream" cracking the top 10 on the Hot 100 chart. The record, also produced by Jonsin, is Nelly`s return to the charts in the heat of his commercially disappointing last album, 2008`s Brass Knuckles. He credited his fans with the song`s success.

"It`s always great when your fans come out and keep [you] anytime in your career," he said nearly the achievement. "But definitely after 10 years, and when you haven`t been rather on the scene as often as your fans would wish you to, but when they do get a glance of you and they smell good, it likewise makes you look good."
