Low (Flo Rida song)
"Low" is the debut single by American rapper Flo Rida featuring American singer and rapper T-Pain, from the former's debut studio album Mail on Sunday and also featured on the soundtrack to the 2008 film Step Up 2: The Streets. An official remix was made which also features Pitbull. The song peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The song was a massive success worldwide and was the longest-running number-one single of 2008 in the United States, spending ten consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. With over seven million digital downloads it has been certified Diamond by the RIAA, and was the most downloaded single of the 2000s decade, measured by paid digital downloads. The song was named third on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade.
Several of T-Pain's stylistic effects are present in this song, including Auto-Tune and call and answer during the chorus. It is a Pop rap song that contains electronic elements such as 808 drum machines like kick, sub bass, cymbals and the handclaps the melody is an arpeggiated ostinato note sequence instead of a chord progression. Flo Rida has sexually charged (but not explicit) lyrics, for example he refers to a woman's buttocks as "birthday cakes" which "stole the show". T-Pain also relies heavily on synthesizers. The song is written in the key of E♭ minor and at different times different instrumentation cycles, i.e., sometimes only the synthesizer plays, sometimes only the bass, sometimes only the vocals. Flo Rida uses a style that is common in 1990s hip-hop party music. "Low" is written in common time with a moderate tempo of 128 beats per minute while T-Pain's vocal range spans nearly two octaves from B♭2 to F♯4. The music is inspired by Lil Jon and 2 Live Crew music production, record production and instrumentation.
Thematically, the song describes a sexually desirable girl dancing in a club, and the singer's efforts to hook up with her, primarily by flaunting displays of cash. The girl is described in the chorus as wearing "Apple Bottom jeans" and "boots with the fur".
The music video of "Low" was directed by Bernard Gourley and contains certain clips from Step Up 2: The Streets. It also contains cameos from Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Cool & Dre, Briana Evigan, Torch and Gunplay of Triple C's and Jermaine Dupri. Also, T-Pain and Flo Rida are in a nightclub in a few scenes. The music video reached the number one spot on MTV Jams for five days and 22 days on TRL. The music video was also nominated at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Male Video and Best Hip-Hop Video, but lost to Hurricane Chris' "Playas Rock" (Best Male Video) and Birdman's "Pop Bottles" (Best Hip-Hop Video) music videos.
