"Snap Yo Fingers" is a song by American rapper Lil Jon. It was originally intended to be the first single from Lil Jon's solo debut album, Crunk Rock.[3] However, the release date of Crunk Rock was subsequently delayed.[4] In August 2006, Lil Jon's label TVT Records released the second volume of its Crunk Hits compilation, and "Snap Yo Fingers" was the opening track.[5] When Crunk Rock was finally released four years later, the song was left out of the album.
The song was produced by Lil Jon and features E-40 and Sean P. The catchy, up-tempo and club oriented Southern hip hop track allowed the song to peak at number 7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
On the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, the song reached number seven and one, respectively. The music video was directed by Hype Williams.[6][7][8]
