"Sunshine" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Lil' Flip, released May 21, 2004, as the second single from his third album, U Gotta Feel Me (2004). The song, produced by The Synphony, features vocals by American singer Lea. It reached number two on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot Rap Songs, Rhythmic, and Hot 100 charts, stuck in each case behind Terror Squad's "Lean Back". It went on to become his most successful single to date.

The official remix is called "Baby Boy, Baby Girl (Sunshine Remix)" and also featured singer Amerie, but it was later switched to Lea. The remix samples late rapper The Notorious B.I.G.'s 1997 single, "Hypnotize".
