Background
The song was first announced in August 2011,following Timbaland ceasing releasing free music via his Timbo Thursdays promotion. It was suggested at the time that the track would not be released until December 2011,due to Shock Value III not being released until the new year. However,on September 12,2011,Timbaland announced that the track would appear on the American iTunes store from midnight on September 13. Subsequently,downloads of the single resulted in it debuting at number 23 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. It later reached number 4 on that chart. The single was released to European radio on the same date,subsequently appearing on airplay charts in Poland and Slovakia. On September 20,2011,the single was released in Australia,peaking at number 89 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The single received a full release across Europe on October 7,2011,and was released in the United Kingdom on October 10,2011. "Pass at Me" impacted urban radio in the US on September 13,2011.
