"Hey Baby (After the Club)" is a song by Ashanti released as the first U.S. single from her fourth studio album, The Declaration (2008),[1] although it is not included on U.S. editions of the album. It was written by Ashanti, Mario Winans and 7 Aurelius and produced by Aurelius and Winans.

The song was released to the U.S. iTunes Store on October 16, 2007, and was made available for airplay on rhythmic crossover radio stations the same day.[2] It peaked at number eighty-seven on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, remaining on it for nine weeks.[3] A blogger for the VIBE magazine website wrote that it "sounds like "Last Night 2.0." Was any effort put into this song at all? Ashanti's new CD is scheduled to drop this December so there's still time for a better song to be dropped as a single, cause this ain't the one."[4]
