"I'm in Miami Bitch" (clean version "I'm in Miami Trick") is the debut single of American hip hop/electronica band LMFAO. It was officially released to radio in 2008. It peaked at #51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in July 2009. The song has also charted on the Canadian Hot 100, peaking at #37.
This song is the theme song for the 2009 reality television program Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami. The "New York" version was used for the 2011 reality television program Kourtney and Kim Take New York. The song was also featured in a 2009 commercial on A&E Network advertising the show CSI: Miami.
The song title also varies by location (see Alternate versions). Because of this the song is often referred to as "I'm in (Your City) Trick/Bitch".
In addition to the many alternate versions of the song, there is a remix of the original version and it features Pitbull. Internationally, the mashup with "Let the Bass Kick" by Chuckie is more popular (named "Let the Bass Kick in Miami Bitch/Girl"). This version was released as a single and entered the charts in the United Kingdom at #9, its peak position in that country.[1]

The song is originally titled "I'm in Miami Bitch", but it was edited for the radio release as "I'm in Miami Trick". In the rap community, "trick" often replaces "bitch" on the clean versions.[2] Internationally, sometimes "girl" or "chick" replaces "bitch". There are many alternate versions of the song, usually customized and meant for playing on dance/pop radio stations in each city. Many of the versions listed below have been released through the iTunes Store and Zune Marketplace as a remix album titled I'm In Your City Beach, with each version available physically only in its respective city (with the exception of "I'm in Miami Bitch".) Also many are available on Spotify, such as "I'm in Palm Beach Trick".
In a surprise appearance at Coachella alongside electronic music artists Crystal Method, LMFAO performed "I'm in Coachella Bitch" while dressed as robots.
Also, for some international releases outside North America, the name of the country was used instead. For example, in Croatia it says "I'm in Croatia Bitch", in the Philippines it says "I'm in the Philippines Bitch", or in the United Arab Emirates it says "I'm in the UAE Bitch".
A remix by David Guetta was released and performed live by David Guetta.
There is a version used in a promotional video for the second series of British reality television show The Only Way Is Essex with the lyrics "I'm in Essex Girl".
The music video for "I'm in Miami Trick" was uploaded to YouTube by LMFAO on October 5, 2009.
"I'm in Miami Trick" has been used in the television advertising of the Xbox 360 game Saints Row the third, where it says "I'm in Saints Row Trick".
