"Temperature"
Song

"Temperature" is the third worldwide and the second American single from Jamaican DJ Sean Paul's album The Trinity (2005). The song was produced by Rohan "Snowcone" Fuller and received a positive reception from music critics. The song was released as the second U.S. single in the first quarter of 2006 and reached number one in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Paul's third number one hit single. It reached the top ten in Canada and France and the top twenty in the United Kingdom, peaking at #11 there. In Australia, "Temperature" debuted at number nineteen but quickly found its way to number five the following weeks. " Temperature " won Dance Song Of The Year at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in 2007.

"Temperature" became Sean Paul's biggest hit single in the US. In Australia it became a hit, with Sean Paul making interview appearances on the Paul Celoni Radio Show, and shows alike. Even though it only spent one week at #1, as opposed to "Get Busy" and its three weeks on top, "Temperature" showed extreme longevity on The Billboard Hot 100 spending 17 weeks in the top 10. Until Nelly Furtado and Timbaland's "Promiscuous, this was the longest run in the top ten for a single in 2006. On top of that it became Sean Paul's first single to sell an excess of one million digital downloads, earning platinum certification.

The song uses the dancehall riddim "Applause". It was also used in the game Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2. It can be heard in the 2007 film, Norbit. This song was also used in the game Dance Central as DLC.

Officially, there are two versions of the song. Only the use of the rhythm makes both versions different.

In 2008, the media reported a story regarding Stacey Gayle of New York City who experienced seizures as a result of hearing the song.[1]

Music video

The winter sequence from the music video.

In this video Sean Paul is seen dancing quite close with female dancers. The first dance sequence was with blowing leaves, centered in autumn. Then as weather gets colder, he is in the snow with the thermometer frozen, centered in winter. The third sequence is in the rain, centered on spring. Finally he's at a tanning salon squirting sunscreen, centered on summer. There is evident sexual innuendo in the squirting of the lotion from the sunscreen bottles. At the end he raps and is in a club while performing to the song "Breakout."
