About this song
“In da Club” was the first of seven tracks 50 Cent recorded with Dr. Dre in only five days. It was originally planned as a D12 song for the 8 Mile soundtrack, and Dr. Dre played the instrumental for 50 Cent, who wrote the lyrics within an hour and recorded most of the vocals that night. Eminem favored another track as the lead single for Get Rich or Die Tryin', but Dre preferred “In da Club,” and a coin toss settled the choice. The song reached #1 in seven countries, including the US, in spring 2003, and was certified platinum in four countries.
