"Get It Shawty" is a song by Lloyd, and is the second single from his second album, Street Love (2007). Lloyd stated that he wanted to try something different with the track, to have fun and show some of his dance moves. The track was produced by James "J. Lack" Lackey, the younger brother of R&B singer Usher. Lloyd overheard the beat when he was at Usher's manager's office, and liked it so much that he begged Usher to let him have it for a song.[1] The chorus has a slight melodic resemblance to Technotronic's Pump Up The Jam. Jazze Pha had originally written the song for Usher.
The music video premiered on BET's Access Granted on February 28, 2007. Two remixes have been released, one featuring Yung Joc and another featuring Lil Wayne, Big Boi, and Chamillionaire. In addition to hip-hop remixes, Moto Blanco provided the official dance mix for the song. The single debuted on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number fifty-seven on the issue dated March 24, 2007, and has thus far peaked at number four. The following week the single debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number seventy-six[2] and has thus far peaked at number sixteen.
The song is featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
