"Splash Waterfalls" the fourth single off Ludacris' album Chicken-n-Beer. The song describes a desired love between two people, continually contrasting intimate romantic scenarios with more sexually explicit ones. The song features Sandy Coffee responding to Ludacris' verses, but she is not credited as featured guest on the single. This song's video and song content resembles another famous Ludacris single called "What's Your Fantasy", with its explicit lyrics and adult-like content. In the radio/music video version's lyrics, "touch me" replaces the explicit version's "fuck me". The song samples the 1978 version of "Be Ever Wonderful" by Ted Taylor.

Remix

The official remix, "Splash Waterfalls (Whatever You Want Remix)", sampling Tony! Toni! Toné!'s "Whatever You Want", was released and features Sandy Coffee and Raphael Saadiq. The song was produced by The Trak Starz.

Music video

In the video, Ludacris appears in a background of cold, blue mountains that resemble a utopia[1] with Sandy Coffee singing "Make love to me" and "Touch me" ("F**k me" in the explicit version) every time Ludacris raps a verse accompanied with "Say it" and "What?" Along with Luda's previous videos, it alludes to the song's lyrics. Midway through the video, the song cuts out and the "Whatever You Want" remix of the song plays for the rest of the video, with Raphael Saadiq appearing. Malaysia Pargo, future wife of Jannero Pargo and co-star of , is among the women featured in the latter half of the video.
