"Put It on da Floor" is a song by American rapper Latto from her third studio album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea (2024). It was released on April 21, 2023, through Streamcut and RCA Records as the album's lead single. It was produced by Go Grizzly, Squat Beatz, Pooh Beatz and DJ Prince. An official remix of the song featuring American rapper Cardi B titled "Put It on da Floor Again" was released on June 2, 2023, which was also included on the album. Although the single initially did not chart, the remix debuted at number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Background

Latto first performed the song at Coachella, several days before it was released.[1]

Content

In the song, Latto raps about being tired of people criticizing and being sneaky,[1][2] warning her detractors to not cause trouble for her,[2][3] and boasts her wealth.[3] In the chorus, she raps: "I done done it all / feel like Shawty Lo / Laughin' to the bank / but shit is not a joke / Say she got a problem? / Imaginary smoke / Bitches said it's up / then put it on the floor".[1][2]

Controversy

Latto references fellow rapper Coi Leray in the opening of the second verse: "Smokin' on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray". Shortly after the song was released on streaming services, Leray responded with a series of tweets, taking issue with the lyrics and accusing Latto of body shaming her.[4][5] However, Leray later stated in a tweet that she may have overreacted and went on to warn Latto not to mention her name in a song again.[5] During Weekend Two of Coachella 2023, Latto said at the end of her set, "Ay, Coi Leray I love your body baby."[6]

Music video

The music video was released on April 24, 2023. It includes clips of her Coachella performance.[7]
