Wet (Snoop Dogg song)

"Wet" is the official lead single from hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg's eleventh studio album Doggumentary. The original version was produced by The Cataracs. "Wet" reached #40 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, #18 on the Hot Rap Songs and #13 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles. A remix of the song entitled "Sweat" was released by French DJ David Guetta on March 4, 2011.
==Background==
"Wet" was written by Snoop Dogg along with The Cataracs, who produced the song. Snoop Dogg specifically recorded the song for Prince William of Wales' bachelor party upon the request of the royal family of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth Realms. Titled "Wet", Snoop spokespeople bill the song as a sequel to 2008's "Sexual Eruption". Produced by The Cataracs producers of the number-one single "Like a G6", Snoop spoke of the gift: "When I heard the [British] royal family wanted to have me perform in celebration of Prince William's marriage, I knew I had to give them a little something. 'Wet' is the perfect anthem for Prince William or any playa to get the club smokin'." The song was premiered on Snoop's SnoopDogg.com website at precisely 4:20 pm PST, November 30. The official remix, featuring Jim Jones and Shawty Lo, was released on February 8, 2011 as a part of Snoop Dogg's Puff Puff Pass Tuesdays giveaway.
=="Sweat"==
The second official remix features production by French DJ David Guetta. This version is entitled "Sweat", and was released on March 4, 2011. The remix interpolates Felix's "Don't You Want Me". A dub remix, which features production by both David Guetta and Afrojack, was released on May 13, 2011.
==Chart performance==
In the United Kingdom, "Sweat" debuted at #16 before moving into the top 10 two weeks later, and eventually reached a peak position of #4. The song also hit number one in Belgium for three non-consecutive weeks. Elsewhere, "Wet" peaked in the top 5 in Finland, Germany and Ireland. On March 14, 2011, "Sweat" debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at #60, and the following week it climbed 51 places to #9. Three weeks later it reached #1 for a week, becoming Snoop's third number one single in Australia. It has since been certified 4× platinum with sales exceeding 280,000.
==Music video==
The video for "Wet" was shot at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas. In the video, Snoop Dogg throws a bachelor party for Prince William who is accompanied by his brother Prince Harry, before his marriage to Kate Middleton. The video shows scenes including Snoop laying next to several women and walking through a hallway with more women dancing around him. The music video for the song premiered on Snoop Dogg's Vevo account on January 5, 2011. An edited version of the video has been released for "Sweat", with extra scenes featuring David Guetta himself.
