"Body 2 Body" is the third official single from rapper Ace Hood from his third album Blood, Sweat & Tears. The hip hop song features R&B singer Chris Brown and was released July 26, 2011.
Critical reception
David Jeffries praised the track: "Cool pillow-talk tracks like “Body 2 Body” with Chris Brown and the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League come off as crowd-pleasing interludes in an otherwise hungry album that takes the DJ Khaled style of Florida rap from penthouse to pavement."{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/blood-sweat-tears-mw0002164720|title=Blood Sweat & Tears - Ace Hood - Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards - AllMusic|author=David Jeffries|work=AllMusic|access-date=March 8, 2015}} Hip Hop DX panned the song: ""Body 2 Body" is almost a reprieve with its smoother sound, but with lines like “Was that Chanel 5? Very sexy fragrance / Are those your real eyes? Can tell you’re partially Asian,” no one will have cause to press rewind."{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.1741/title.ace-hood-blood-sweat-tears|title=Ace Hood - Blood Sweat & Tears|author=HipHopDX|date=August 19, 2011|work=HipHopDX|access-date=March 8, 2015}}
