The song "Tilt Ya Head Back" by Christina Aguilera ft. Nelly talks about a woman who wants to dance all night and have a good time. There is an obvious attraction between her and Nelly that leads to flirtatious interactions. Nelly repeatedly says, "Give her what she want," indicating that he wants to fulfill her desires. Christina sings about how easy it is for anyone to see that Nelly is there for her, looking for her all night, wanting to dance with her.
The lyrics are straightforward, and there isn't much complexity in them. This song is a typical representation of the early 2000s where popular rap and pop artists collaborated to make party anthems that had catchy hooks.
This collaboration track was a different musical direction for Christina Aguilera, who, until then, had mostly sung ballads and pop numbers. With this track, she ventured into the R&B and hip-hop genre, which was unexpected, as she had a pop princess image at the time.
Aguilera collaborated with Nelly for the first time, and they performed the song together in several television appearances and live events.
The track was produced by Diddy, Nelly, and Cory Rooney, and it was released in August 2004.
The single was a moderate commercial success, peaking at number ninety-eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Still, it was a hit in Europe, peaking at number six in the United Kingdom, and number seven in Ireland.
The music video for the song was directed by director Little X, who has directed videos for popular artists like Usher and Destiny's Child.
The music video features both Aguilera and Nelly in a club, dancing, and flirting with each other. The video had provocative dance moves that garnered a lot of criticism from some parents for being inappropriate.
The song has been remixed by several artists like Mousse T, Dead Prez, and Benny Benassi.
In 2005, the song was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards.
Chords: Unfortunately, the chords for this song are not available as it is a hip-hop/rap song that uses beats, horns, and drums, and not typical acoustic instruments like guitar or piano.
