Artist/Group: Outkast Album: Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Released: 2003 Label: LaFace/Arista Watch the Official Video of this song https://www.youtube.com/watchv=PWgvGjAhvIw -------------------------------------------------- "Hey Ya!" is a song performed by the American hip-hop group Outkast and André 3000. Along with "The Way You Move", recorded by Outkast's other member Big Boi, "Hey Ya!" was released by LaFace Records as one of the two lead singles from the duo's fifth album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. The track became a commercial success, reaching number one in the United States, Australia, Canada, Norway, and Sweden.

André 3000 then uses a deceptive cadence after a 2/4 measure of the dominant D major chord, leading into two 4/4 measures of an E major chord (against a G note in the melody implying E minor). The song moves at a tempo of 158 beats per minute, and André's vocal range spans more than an octave and a half, from B3 to G5. The song opens with three pi
