Knockin Da Boots was released in 1993 as the debut single by Houston R&B trio H-Town, from their album Fever for da Flavor. Built around a smooth slow jam groove and close harmonies, it became a major crossover hit, reaching the top of the Billboard R&B chart and the top five of the Hot 100. The phrase was slang that made the title instantly memorable. Decades later the chorus still circulates in throwback playlists, edits and meme clips celebrating classic nineties R&B.
