Milkshake was released by American singer Kelis in 2003 as the lead single from her third album Tasty. Written and produced by The Neptunes, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, the song became her biggest international hit and reached the top three in the United States. Its chorus entered everyday slang and was widely quoted, parodied and reused across films, adverts and social media. Decades later the hook remains a shorthand for confidence and playful showing off, which keeps short clips of the chorus in regular circulation online.
