Dr. Dre,Dawaun Parker and Mark Batson developed the instrumental for "Smoke" during recording sessions in Hawaii;at first,it was intended for Dr. Dre's unreleased album Detox. [2] 50 Cent was enlisted to write Dr. Dre's lyrics,but later asked Dr. Dre if he could keep the song for himself and write lyrics to it from his own perspective,which Dr. Dre agreed to. [3] The chorus was originally written for R. Kelly to perform,but for unknown reasons this plan fell through,so it was offered to Trey Songz instead. [4]
