"Hat 2 da Back" is a song by American girl group TLC from their debut studio album, Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip (1992). It was released as the album's fourth and final single. The song contains samples of "Big Ole Butt" by LL Cool J and "What Makes You Happy" by KC and the Sunshine Band.[2] "Hat 2 da Back" reached number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on Billboards Hot R&B Singles chart.
The music video is built around a remixed version of the song. The video depicts the group singing the song during a photo shoot and a concert, where a man is watching them and fantasizing about them in tight clothing as opposed to the baggy clothing they favor; ironically this foreshadowed them wearing gradually tighter and more feminine clothing from the CrazySexyCool era onwards. Hip hop duos Kris Kross and Illegal appear in the video.
(Note: On some versions of the 12-inch single, the "Remix Radio Edit" is not mentioned on the record sleeve but is contained on the label and recording proper. This was fixed on later pressings.)
