Interesting facts and trivia about Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin') (feat. Yung Joc). By Songfacts®.

In this song, T-Pain hits the club and puts the moves on a lady, offering to buy her a drink with the option to head back to his place after for some lovemaking. T-Pain had a Bebo site (one of many social media properties) at the time where he explained the meaning of the song: "Basically, these days lots of people begin their relationships in the clubs. Whole conversations begin with some guy buying a young lady a drink. I wanted to make a song for those folks."

This was the first single from T-Pain's second album, Epiphany. His first album, released in 2005, make headlines for its use of Auto-Tune, which many thought would be a quickly passing fad. But by 2007, many rappers were experimenting with it, often with T-Pain's help, and it became the hot new sound. With the tracks on Epiphany, he doubled down on Auto-Tune and drew the winning card: "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" went to #1 in America, as did the album.

Yung Joc features on this track, dropping verses where he does some sweet-talking of his own in the club. T-Pain borrows a line from Joc's 2006 track "Patron" when he sings, "On that Patron you should get like me."
