"Satisfy You" is a 1999 single by American hip-hop artist and producer Puff Daddy and features vocals by contemporary R&B singer-songwriter R. Kelly on the hook. The song spent six weeks at number 1 on the U.S. R&B chart and peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks. The song was co-written by both Combs and Kelly, with additional writing by Kelly Price, who performs backing vocals. The song's beat and bassline is taken from "I Got 5 on It" by Luniz, which itself interpolates Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad" among others. The song is about satisfying the significant other. It garnered a nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000.
