I thought that was the place for us to start to get a fan-base knowing that we had a record like "Lonely", which was more commercial, to follow it." According to Foster in an interview with HitQuarters, ""Locked Up" is a street record. On hearing the demo track he had said, "This kid is official - this is a huge record." Despite offering the album's best option in terms of commercial breakthrough, SRC Records chose " Locked Up" over "Lonely" as the first single because SRC wanted to break Akon in the streets first and work towards a cross-over. When Akon was signed by Universal imprint SRC Records it was "Lonely" that had immediately caught the attention of SRC A&R Jerome Foster and convinced him of Akon's talents.
