"How Many Times" is the third single by from DJ Khaled's eighth studio album I Changed a Lot (2015). It features Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Big Sean, and was released on May 12, 2015.

The song, produced by Lee on the Beats, Bkorn, and Khaled himself, peaked at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the first single by Khaled released under RED Distribution/Sony and his own label We the Best Music, after parting ways with Cash Money and Republic Records. The song was panned by critics, many of whom deemed it misogynistic.[1]

Music video

A music video for the song was released on May 11, 2015.[2] This video was famously known for featuring Khaled saying "Another one!" when demanding another kiss from a woman in the video. Ace Hood makes a cameo. This quote would then quickly evolve into a meme and has since then been featured in many of Khaled's later singles, most notably "For Free", which features Canadian rapper Drake, and in "Do You Mind", which features Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, August Alsina, Jeremih, Future, and Rick Ross.
