"Hey" is a song by American rapper Lil Jon featuring 3OH!3. It was released as the second single from his debut solo album, Crunk Rock. It was also featured on the Jersey Shore soundtrack.[1]

Music video

The video was filmed in Hollywood and directed by David Rousseau. It was released on August 26, 2010.[2] The video revolves around a girls-only pool party, featuring the Jersey Shore cast with track artists Lil Jon and 3OH!3.[3] Bandmember Nathaniel Motte explained: "The concept of the 'Hey' video is assemble the largest amount of hot chicks you can and throw a pool party … which is kinda crazy because we're never invited to those kind of parties."[4]
