[1] In interviews from 2006,Brown considered choosing the song as the second single from his debut album,but the song "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" was chosen as the single instead.

A music video for "Gimme That" was directed by Erik White, [3] who had previously directed Brown's visuals for "Run It!" and "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)". Shot at the Los Angeles Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles,it was largely inspired by Michael Jackson's music videos for "Smooth Criminal" and "You Rock My World." As of June 2024,"Gimme That" has received over 250 million views on YouTube. [4]
The music video begins with Brown walking into the station. After catching the eye of a girl near him,he falls asleep listening to "Poppin'" on his Sony Walkman Bean. In his dream,the station transforms into a 1920s Harlem setting,with him a business man and the girl a rich snobby woman. At the end,Brown and the girl almost kiss but he is woken up by Lil Wayne.
