Usher confirmed Friday his new album Hard II Love will be released on Sept. 16, just three weeks from now.

In preparation for the record, he's also released two new songs, "Missin U" and "Champions," the latter of which appears on the soundtrack for Hands Of Stone, which features Usher starring as Sugar Ray Leonard and opens in theaters today.

In addition to the new songs, the 15-track album also include Usher's previously released Young Thug collaboration "No Limit" and his standout "Crash."

Hard II Love is the followup to Usher's 2012 album Looking for Myself.
