"Smile" is a song by American hip hop group G-Unit, released on April 8, 2004, as the fourth and final single from their debut album, Beg for Mercy (2003). The song was produced by No I.D. and contains a sample "I Too Am Wanting", as performed by Syreeta. Smile was never released as a CD single, causing the single to chart lowly.

Background

[edit]

Lloyd Banks is the main artist on the song, with his G-Unit cohort 50 Cent, only singing "be the reason you smile" as a background vocal on the refrain as well as giving the intro.
