Turn Down for What is a 2013 single by French DJ Snake and American rapper Lil Jon, built around a pounding trap beat and Lil Jon's shouted hook. The song became a worldwide party anthem and a staple of sports arenas, clubs and viral videos, where its drop was used to mark moments of sudden excess or celebration. The short shouted section spread separately through memes and short-form edits, because it delivers instant energy without needing the full track, keeping it a go-to sound for hype, comedy and high-energy transitions years later.
