Dumb is a track performed by American R&B singer Faith Evans, created for the 2012 compilation album R&B Divas. This project, spearheaded by Evans, highlights artists from the inaugural season of the TV One reality show. The song was co-written by Evans alongside Chris "Brody" Brown, Toni Coleman, Achia Dixon, Larrance Dopson, Lamar Edwards, Camille Hooper, and Jaila Simms. It incorporates a sample from "Broadway Combination," originally by Christian Arlester of Dyke and the Blazers. Production responsibilities were managed by 1500 or Nothin', with Evans contributing as co-producer.
Following the release of the lead single "Tears of Joy," this retro soul-inspired composition served as the second single from the album. Its accompanying music video, directed by Bishop Moore, presents Evans performing in an environment styled after the 1970s era.
