Transcription

Critical reception

Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic called the song "a perfect club-ready duet between Fat Joe and Remy that boasts a trademark Scott Storch beat and a memorable singalong hook and dance-along step".[1] Vibe called the song a "summer classic".[2] In 2008, the song was ranked at number 55 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop".[3]

Music video

Fat Joe described the dance in the video as throwing back the right shoulder to the beat of the song.[4]

Remixes

The official remixed version of the song, featuring Lil Jon, Eminem, and Mase is available on Fat Joe's 2005 album All or Nothing and Lil Jon's Crunk Juice remix disc. The official remix is more uptempo and contains a new beat with a crunk–like feel to it. However, there are two different versions of the remix. The All or Nothing version, the main remix, features an additional verse by Remy and was released in July 2004.[5] The Crunk Juice version features Lil Jon's vocals throughout the song, omitting Remy's verse. On both versions, Mase's verse is in line with his then-clean style of rapping (as heard on Welcome Back).

Fat Joe also released a remix in tribute to his Puerto Rican ancestry, featuring Tego Calderon and Tony Touch. Other remixes of the song are performed by Chamillionaire, in The Mixtape Messiah titled "Body Rock", Lil Wayne, Max B, Jadakiss, U.S.D.A., and G-Unit. Also, mashup artist Girl Talk layered "Lean Back" over Spacehog's "In the Meantime" in his album All Day. Houston rapper Lil' Flip did a freestyle over the song as a diss towards Atlanta rapper T.I.[6]
