"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 Paul of YoungBloodZ. The catchy, 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]

Remix
