There used to be a time when I would play this song on repeat and it was purely because of Gaga's parts

I used to watch this all the time when it would come on MTV back in 2009/10. Underrated banger.

Peak bloghouse era collaboration; I had just wrapped up undergrad in DC that spring, Chillin felt like like house party airwave elixir

The backstory still low-key lives rent-free:

Wale had wanted to collaborate with Lady Gaga on the track since January 2009, believing that she embodied the party-record feel of the song. He explained: "If music was a high school, I feel like I'll be the dude on the football team, and it would be like, 'OK, Gaga's having a party!' And you know all the bad girls are going to be out there."

Upon hearing that some were surprised by the collaboration, Wale went on to say, ”If Jay-Z can work with Coldplay, then Wale should be able to work with Gaga.” Wale's mentor, Mark Ronson, sent the track to Gaga. She commented that her portion of the song, which includes lyrics such as "Lookin' at, lookin' at, lookin' at me/ Eyes all stickin' like honey on bees", is narcissistic, but in a positive way. The lyrics capture the life and image of Wale's home areas Maryland and District of Columbia. About incorporating the hook in the song, Gaga said:

“I really wanted to sit down with Wale before I wrote the hook, because to me, it's really lame when people send you tracks, and they're like, ‘All right, Gaga, throw your vocals on it.’ This is Wale's record. It's not my record. It's one of those songs, one of those tracks and one of those videos that you can't stop listening to.”
