Yeah! is a single by American R&B singer Usher. It was written by Sean Garrett, Patrick J. Que Smith, Robert McDowell, LRoc, Ludacris, and Lil Jon. The song was a part of Usher's fourth studio album, Confessions (2004), and it was a superhit that topped the charts in the US for 12 consecutive weeks. Yeah! also received a great response in other countries and regions. It is widely considered one of the best songs of the time.

Sean Garrett, one of the primary songwriters of Yeah!, said that the different approach is what worked for the song. He said in an interview:

"When I first did ‘Yeah’ for Usher — before anybody heard the record, it was so different that it just took everybody by surprise. I had the same reaction to ‘Break Up’ by Mario. It was like, ‘I don’t know about this one; the beat’s a little different.’ But that’s what I do. If you look at my catalog, I try to swing the pendulum. I’m known for records like ‘London Bridge’ for Fergie."

Yeah! was certified platinum by RIAA. The song has sold over 4 million copies around the world.
