"
Lick" is a song by American
funk/
soul singer
Joi, It was written by
Joi Gilliam,
Sleepy Brown, Rico Wade, Brandon Bennett, Raymon Ameer Murrey and produced by
Joi for her third studio album
Star Kitty's Revenge and later appeared in the film
xXx and its soundtrack. Becoming an instant cult favorite courtesy of the film, this remains Gilliam's most successful single to date. A music video was never shot due to Gilliam parting ways with the music label and joining then fellow
Lucy Pearl band mate
Raphael Saadiq's Pookie Entertainment label at the time of its success. The song would later be sampled in rapper
Gucci Mane's 2007 hit single "
Freaky Gurl".
