"Bust Your Windows" is a song recorded by American singer Jazmine Sullivan. It was written by Sullivan and Salaam Remi for her debut studio album Fearless (2008), while production was helmed by the latter. A midtempo R&B ballad with a moderate Latin beat and a tango rhythm, the song uses a sample from Remi's "Bad Man Waltz" and interpolates a lyric from American rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em's 2007 single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." Due to the sample, Soulja Boy is also credited as a songwriter.
Released as the second single from Fearless, "Bust Your Windows" was made available as a digital download on Amazon on September 16, 2008, followed by a physical release on November 15, 2008. It became a top five hit on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and was nominated in the Best R&B Song category for 2009's Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it 58th on its list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.[1] The song also was listed at number 137 on National Public Radio's list of The 200 Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women.[2]
