"What These Bitches Want" (edited for radio as "What You Want") is a song by American hip hop recording artist DMX, released as the third single from his third album ... And Then There Was X (1999). The single features Def Soul singer Sisqó and was billed on the front cover as "The Biggest in Rap meets The Biggest in R&B." The subject matter in the song is past women in DMX's life.

In August, 2019, the song regained prominence on social media after 19 years of its initial release date when a DMX challenge surfaced on the internet. For the challenge, women piece together photos and clips of themselves in various hairstyles, switching the images to the song's lyrics to suggest that they're a different person with every hairstyle.[1]

Music video

The music video was directed by Hype Williams.
