"Knockin' Da Boots" is the debut single from R&B group H-Town. Taken from their debut album, Fever for Da Flavor, "Knockin' Da Boots" became one of the biggest R&B singles of 1993 according to the Billboard charts, where it peaked at number three for seven weeks, and also topped the R&B chart for four weeks,[1] and it helped win the band a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist. The song samples Zapp's "Be Alright." The song title is a take on the sexual slang term popular in the early 1990's, along with the term "body rock," which has been more associated with southern urban dialogue.

Marie Claire magazine, in a profile of distinguished lawyer Kristine Huskey, reported that while working her way through law school she appeared as a dancer in the video for this song.[2]
