"Who Dat Girl"
Song

"Who Dat Girl" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida featuring American R&B singer Akon. The song was written by Flo Rida, Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, Benny Blanco, Bruno Mars, and Philip Lawrence, and it was produced by Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. It was released on January 11, 2011 as the third single from Flo Rida's third studio album, Only One Flo (Part 1). It peaked at number twenty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

Chart performance

The song debuted at number fifty-five on the Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated November 18, 2010. On the issue date of January 22, 2011 the song charted at number thirty-nine on the chart, selling 63,000 digital copies.[2] The following week the song peaked at number twenty-nine, becoming his eighth top forty single.[3] In Australia, the track debuted at #29 on the 4th of April, 2011,[4] and peaked at #10 in it's 5th week on the chart.[5]

Music video

The music video was directed by Ray Kay.[6] It premiered on December 2, 2010 on MTV.[7] In the video, Flo-Rida and Akon seem to be at a club scene, in which they are dancing with a few fairly good-looking ladies, covered in some substance in which looks like paint.[8]

Critical response

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy UK gave the song a negative review, giving the single 2 out of 5 stars, stating "Flo Rida's chart luck has been down of late, what with his last effort - and first solo track - just missing out on a spot in the top 40. His solution? Call in the big guns - in this instance Konvict yelper and GaGa 'discoverer' Akon to launch him back to the top - and given that Flo considers himself the old-fashioned romantic sort at heart, there are no prizes for guessing which rapper took the reigns on his latest effort.

What's more, he's even roped in serial hitmaker Dr Luke to helm the track, who supplies a ready-made rubbery electro-R&B hook with a beat peeled off the 'California Gurls' cutting room floor. "I imagine her topless/ she might set off my rocket," Rida announces with a conviction that would make even Hugh Hefner blush, as Akon confesses his lass "ain't no actress/ But she makes movies". Who said romance was dead?"[9]
