André 3000 gravou “Hey Ya!” em dezembro de 2002 na Stankonia Studios, usando uma guitarra acústica como base inspirada nas bandas de rock alternativo dos anos 80.
A faixa conta com 30 a 40 takes de cada linha no Larrabee Sound Studios, onde experimentaram efeitos vocoder e várias overdubs, incluindo a resposta “Ice cold” gravada por um duplo de André e a resposta feminina gravada por Rabeka Tuinei.
O videoclipe, dirigido por Bryan Barber, foi filmado em dois dias em agosto de 2003 no Universal Studios, usando fotografia em controle de movimento e contou com mais de 100 mulheres; André repetiu a performance 23 vezes, improvisando a coreografia.
Na semana de 22 de novembro de 2003, “Hey Ya!” saltou de #13 para #5 no Hot 100, ficando no topo por nove semanas consecutivas em dezembro de 2003 e janeiro de 2004, antes de ser derrubado por “The Way You Move” de Big Boi.
A música atravessou gêneros ao atingir #1 no Hot 100, #9 na Hot R&B/Hip-Hop e #16 no Modern Rock, um raro cruzamento de listas que normalmente não se sobrepõem.
