"About Us" is a Pop/R&B song by Brooke Hogan. It was released as the first single from Brooke's debut album Undiscovered in June 2006 in the US. The music video premiered on June 25, 2006, after the season two finale of Hogan Knows Best, in which Brooke prepares and then films the video for the song. The song features Paul Wall and is the first single released by Scott Storch's record label, Storch Music Company. Hogan currently is the first and only person signed to this record label. So far, About Us has never charted on any other singles charts worldwide except for the U.S. Billboard singles charts. It has yet to chart in Canada, the UK and every other country around the world.

DJ E-Rock collaborated a Bay Area hyphy remix of the single "About Us". This track features lyrics from E-40 and beats from Traxamillion.

The budget for the video was $300,000 and was shot in California. In the video Brooke does a work-out/dance routine in a gym with a jump rope. In some scenes you can see her with big, rhinestone-encrusted sunglass with a pair of grills that Paul Wall gave her for her 18th birthday.[1] She also is depicted in a night club and has a dance-off with other girls.

The video premiered on Hogan Knows Best on June 25, 2006. The music video also premiered on Total Request Live on July 24, 2006 as a PRE-RL.
