"Signs" is the third single from rapper Snoop Dogg's seventh studio album, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece (2004). It was produced by The Neptunes, and it features singers Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake. The single was released in March 2005.
The edited version of the song is used for the 2005 film Guess Who which stars Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac. The song is played once during the film and again during the end credits.
The single reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart in May 2005 and #46 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, it was more popular in Australia staying at #1 on the Australian Singles Chart for two weeks.
The music video was directed by Paul Hunter and takes place in an underground boxing gym and at a casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the most played video on the UK version of The Box in 2005.
It was performed by Snoop Dogg at the Live 8 concert in London on July 2, 2005 along with a few of his other hits.
The song interpolates some lyrics from The Gap Band's 1982 "Early in the Morning" and Cheryl Lynn's 1978 "Got to Be Real".
