"Wet" is the official lead single from hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg's eleventh studio album Doggumentary.{{cite web|url=http://rapradar.com/2010/11/30/new-music-snoop-dogg-wet/ |title=New Music: Snoop Dogg "Wet" |publisher=Rap Radar |date=2010-11-30 |access-date=2011-06-14}} The original version was produced by the Cataracs. "Wet" reached number 40 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, number 18 on the Hot Rap Songs and number 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 William, Prince of Wales' (then Prince William of Wales) bachelor party. 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'."{{cite web|last=Ryon |first=Sean |url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.13068/title.snoop-dogg-records-wet-specifically-for-prince-williams-bachelor-party |title=Snoop Dogg Records "Wet" Specifically For Prince William's Bachelor Party | Get The Latest Hip Hop News, Rap News & Hip Hop Album Sales |publisher=HipHop DX |date=2010-11-30 |access-date=2011-06-14}}{{cite magazine|author=Jem Aswad |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/snoop-dogg-writes-song-for-prince-williams-bachelor-party-20101201 |title=Snoop Dogg Writes Song for Prince William's Bachelor Party | Rolling Stone Music |magazine=Rollingstone.com |date=2010-12-01 |access-date=2011-06-14}} The song was premiered on Snoop's SnoopDogg.com website at precisely 4:20 pm PST, November 30.{{cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2011/02/08/new-music-snoop-dogg-f-jim-jones-shawty-lo-wet-g-mix/ |title=New Music: Snoop Dogg f/ Jim Jones & Shawty Lo – 'Wet (G-Mix)' |publisher=Rap-Up.com |access-date=2011-06-14}} 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.{{cite web |url=http://www.hiphopmusicdotcom.com/snoop-dogg-wet-g-mix-ft-jim-jones-shawty-lo.html |title=Snoop Dogg – Wet (G-Mix) (ft.
