"Lean Back" is a song by American hip hop group Terror Squad. It was released as the second single from their second studio album, True Story, on June 1, 2004. An uptempo hip hop song built for the club environment, it contains vocal performances from group members Fat Joe and Remy Ma (credited as Remy) and production from Scott Storch. It topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, starting on August 21, 2004, and topped the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart for seven weeks. Worldwide, the song reached the top 20 in several other countries, including Denmark, where it peaked at number five.

Critical reception

Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic called "Lean Back" "a perfect club-ready duet between Fat Joe and Remy that boasts a trademark Scott Storch beat and a memorable singalong hook and dance-along step".[1] Vibe called the song a "summer classic".[2] In 2008, the song was ranked at number 55 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.[3]

Music video

Fat Joe described the dance in the video as throwing back the right shoulder to the beat of the song.[4] Kevin Hart, Shea Davis, Erica Mena, Tego Calderon, Charlie Rock LD, N.O.R.E., Pistol Pete, DJ Khaled, Dre, and Lil Jon made cameo appearances in the video.[citation needed]

Remixes

The official remixed version of the song, featuring Lil Jon, Eminem, and Mase is available on Fat Joe's 2005 album All or Nothing and Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz's Crunk Juice remix disc. The official remix is more uptempo and contains a new beat with a crunk–like feel to it. However, there are two different versions of the remix. The All or Nothing version, the main remix, features an additional verse by Remy and was released in July 2004.[5] The Crunk Juice version features Lil Jon's vocals throughout the song, omitting Remy's verse. On both versions, Mase's verse is in line with his then-clean style of rapping (as heard on his 2004 album Welcome Back).

Fat Joe also released a remix in tribute to his Puerto Rican ancestry, featuring Tego Calderón and Tony Touch. Other remixes of the song are performed by Chamillionaire, on The Mixtape Messiah titled "Body Rock", Lil Wayne, Max B, Jadakiss, U.S.D.A., and G-Unit. Also, mashup artist Girl Talk layered "Lean Back" over Spacehog's "In the Meantime" in his 2010 album All Day. Houston rapper Lil' Flip did a freestyle over the song as a diss towards Atlanta rapper T.I.[6]
