"Statistics" is an R&B/soul song performed and released by Chester Lyfe Jennings who also co-wrote the song with Tyler Williams. Released in 2010, it was the first track on the artists, self-proclaimed, fourth and final album,I Still Believe. On June 22, 2010, “Statistics,” was released as a single[1] where it reached 19 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs list on September 4, 2010.[2]

The song was inspired by Steve Harvey’s book, "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man:What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment,"[3] and belts out statistics such as,

"25% of all men are unstable,
25% of all men can't be faithful
30% of them don't mean what they say
And 10% of the remaining 20 is gay
That leaves you a 10% chance of ever finding your man"[4]

This is sung to a “lullaby-like piano melody”.[5] The song also offers advice on keeping that good one, once he is found.

"Tell him that you're celibate
And if he wants some of your goodies he gon' have to work for it"[6]
