"Wadsyaname" was supposed to be the first official single from Nelly's fifth studio album, Brass Knuckles but Nelly later confirmed that the single will not make the album (however it is a bonus track featured as #16 on the Japanese edition of "Brass Knuckles").[1] It was replaced by "Party People".[2][3] It is produced by Ron "Neff-U" Feemster, and sampled the piano line from "All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo.[2][3] The single was released to the iTunes Store on August 22, 2007. The music video is directed by Chris Robinson.[4] Nelly performed the single along with "Let It Go" at the 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards. The song finally appears on the album, as a UK and Japanese bonus track.
