Songfacts®:

• This is a song about going to a club, getting really drunk, and watching women dance suggestively for your delight. The rappers are enjoying their celebrity status in the club and are asking the girls to "get low" and shake their butts down to the dancefloor. The implication is that sex will follow, as the chorus of "skeet skeet skeet..." refers to ejaculation. (Nelly also slipped the term into a 2002 hit - in "Hot In Herre" he raps about "Looking for a good time to shoot my skeet").
• "Get Low" became a huge club hit and introduced the "crunk" sound ("crunk" = "crazy drunk"). The track was produced by Lil' Jon, who brought the crunk to Usher's "Yeah!" and had several hits of his own using a similar beat, including "Salt Shaker" and "Snap Yo Fingers."
• Comedian Dave Chappelle did a popular bit about the raunchiness of this song, and how despite the hedonistic, misogynist lyrics, many women dance to it anyway. Chappelle did a famous impersonation of Lil' Jon where he would rarely speak except to say "Yeah!" as in the Usher song. Chappelle's impersonation became more famous than what Lil' Jon actually says on his recordings, to the point that Jon would start saying "Yeah!" like Chappelle's impression to appease fans and reporters.
• In 2003, Lil' Jon released remixes of this song with Busta Rhymes and Elephant Man on vocals.
• This song is part of a popular scene in the 2009 film The Proposal, where Sandra Bullock encounters Betty White in the woods, and White asks her to improvise a chant. Bullock tries to come up with something, and ends up singing the lyrics to this song, including the famous line, "Till the sweat drop down my balls."
• Lil Jon wrote "Get Low" with The Ying Yang Twins - Kaine (Eric Jackson) and D-Roc (Deongelo Holmes) - who are featured on the track. It was Kaine who came up with the "3,6,9 damn she fine" part, and D-Roc had "To the window, to the wall!" Lil Jon figured out how do integrate both of these parts in the song, giving it two distinctive hooks.
  
  The "3,6,9" part is a play on "The Clapping Song" by Shirley Ellis - the opening line there is "3,6,9, the goose drank wine."
  
  "To the window, to the wall" covers the entire club, so we know the whole place is getting low.
• The beat was inspired by the 1999 DMX banger "Party Up (Up In Here)," produced by Swizz Beatz.
  
  "I wanted to make a beat like 'Party Up,' and what came out was the 'Get Low' beat," Lil Jon told Fatman Scoop.
• In addition to The Proposal, "Get Low" shows up in the movies The Perfect Score (2004) and Coach Carter (2005). In the 2025 movie Happy Gilmore 2, Margaret Qualley dances to it in a sand trap after hitting a nice shot.
