"Shawty Get Loose" is the third single and official second single from rap artist, Lil Mama's, debut album, VYP: Voice of the Young People. "Shawty Get Loose." is Lil Mama's second top 10 single. The single is the remix version, where it features Chris Brown singing the chorus, and T-Pain rapping on the 2nd verse. In the original, T-Pain originally sings the chorus, while Lil Mama raps on the 2nd verse. Instead of T-Pain using the Auto Tune effect, Chris Brown uses it, like he did in his other collaboration with T-Pain, "Kiss Kiss."
The song was also featured in a promo for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars.
It was also performed live at the 2008 Kids' Choice Awards, Countdown to Kids' Choice.

Also, at the beginning of the video, T-Pain uses the saying "Greatness + greatness = great greatness".
