"Gimme That" is a song by American singer Chris Brown featuring American rapper Lil Wayne. It was written by Sean Garrett and Scott Storch for Brown's eponymous debut album (2005), while production was helmed by Storch, with Garrett credited as a co-producer. A remix of the song, featuring additional vocals from American rapper Lil Wayne, was released as the album's third single in April 2006 and peaked at number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Background
"Gimme That" was written by Sean Garrett and Scott Storch for Brown's eponymous debut album (2005). Production was helmed by Storch. Garrett was credited as a co-producer. In interviews from 2006, Brown considered choosing the song as the second single from his debut album, but the song "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" was chosen as the single instead. Along with that, "Gimme That" was also featured at the end of the "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" music video. The single version features rapper Lil Wayne.
Chart performance
The song debuted at number 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on April 11, 2006, and climbed the charts to peak at number 15 on June 6, 2006. On November 22, 2017, the single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over two million copies in the United States.
Music video
A music video for "Gimme That" was directed by Erik White, who had previously directed Brown's visuals for "Run It!" and "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)". Shot at the Los Angeles Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles, it was largely inspired by Michael Jackson's music videos for "Smooth Criminal" and "You Rock My World." As of June 2024, "Gimme That" has received over 250 million views on YouTube.
The music video begins with Brown walking into the station. After catching the eye of a girl near him, he falls asleep listening to "Poppin'" on his Sony Walkman Bean. In his dream, the station transforms into a 1920s Harlem setting, with him a business man and the girl a rich snobby woman. At the end, Brown and the girl almost kiss but he is woken up by Lil Wayne.
