"B.U.D.D.Y." is the first single from Musiq Soulchild's fourth album Luvanmusiq. It was released on January 30, 2007, after being given to radio stations in the US in late November. It contains samples from De La Soul's "Buddy (Native Tongues Decision Remix)", and interpolations from the composition "Heartbeat (Kenton Mix)".
It entered the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart on December 16, 2006, at #75; in its 16th week on the chart, on March 31, 2007, the single reached #2, where it stayed for four consecutive weeks. "B.U.D.D.Y." entered the Billboard Hot 100 on February 10, 2007, at #100, and reached its peak position at #36 on April 7, 2007, in its 9th week on the chart. The song was something of a comeback for Soulchild, who had not appeared in the R&B Top 10 or the Pop Top 40 for five years. It samples "Heartbeat" by Taana Gardner. A music video was made for this song and can be viewed on YouTube.
The song was given a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
An official remix featuring NY rappers Ja Rule, Fat Joe, & Jadakiss can also be found on the Internet and it is an iTunes bonus track of the album (Jadakiss is not on the iTunes version of the remix). Additional remixes feature Lupe Fiasco and a separate track produced by Jazze Pha featuring T.I. and Young Buck.
