"What's It Gonna Be" is a song performed by British bassline duo H "Two" O and British bassline vocal group Platnum. Digital formats were released to online retailers in the UK on 11 February 2008. Physical formats, including a two-track CD single, a maxi-CD single, and a 12-inch vinyl disc, were released in the UK the same month. The track was licensed by dance label Hard2Beat and peaked at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks.

Reception

Because of the popularity the song had in the underground scene (it had been circling around Sheffield nightclubs for a while), record label Hard2Beat decided to release it into mainstream success. The track has been generally well received on radio. It has been placed on the coveted A-list at BBC Radio 1. The track entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 7 on downloads alone on the chart dated 17 February 2008, following the single's CD release, "What's It Gonna Be?" rose to No. 2 on the chart dated 24 February 2008. The song also reached number No. 33 on the Dutch Top 40. Although the song was a chart success, some critics claimed its UK garage-style beat and characterless vocals made it banal.{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/singlesreviews/a89441/h-two-o-ft-platnum-whats-it-gonna-be.html|title=H 'two' O ft.
