"Get It Shawty" is a song by American R&B artist Lloyd. It was released in March 2007 as the second single from his sophomore album, Street Love (2007). Lloyd stated that he wanted to try something different with the track, and be able to have fun and show off some of his hip hop and dance moves. The track was produced by James "J. Lack" Lackey, the younger brother of fellow R&B artist Usher; Lloyd was at the offices of Usher's management when he overheard the beat for "Get It Shawty", which he apparently liked so much that he "begged" Usher to let him have it for himself.[1]
"Get It Shawty" entered Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 57, on the chart issue dated March 24, 2007, eventually peaking at No. 4; the following week, the single debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 76,[2] eventually rising and peaking at No. 16 on the same chart. The song was featured in the in-game radio station The Vibe 98.8 on Grand Theft Auto IV. In addition to several hip-hop remixes, English electronic duo Moto Blanco provided the official dance mix for the song.
The music video[3] premiered on BET's Access Granted on February 28, 2007. Three remixes were officially released: one featuring Yung Joc, a second featuring Joe Budden, and a third featuring Lil Wayne, Big Boi, and Chamillionaire. The video has over 47 million views on Lloyd's official YouTube channel.
