"Get It Shawty" is a song by American R&B artist Lloyd. It was released in March 2007 as the second single from his second album, Street Love (2007). Lloyd stated that he wanted to try something different with the track, and be able to have fun and show off some of his hip hop and dance moves. The song was produced by American record producer James "J. Lack" Lackey, the half-brother of fellow R&B artist Usher; Lloyd was at the offices of Usher's management when he overheard the beat for "Get It Shawty", which he apparently liked so much that he "begged" Usher to let him have it for himself.{{cite news |last=Rodriguez|first=Jayson|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1549914/20070112/lloyd.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070116054823/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1549914/20070112/lloyd.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 16, 2007|title=Inc.
