"I Don't Fuck with You" is a song by American rapper Big Sean, featuring E-40, released on September 19, 2014 as the lead single from his third studio album Dark Sky Paradise (2015).
On March 19, 2014 Justin Bieber uploaded a snippet of "Turn Up" on Instagram which has the same beat. The record was supposed to be Justin's but there was no communication with the management. The producer DJ Mustard decided to give the record to Big Sean. On September 12, 2014, Big Sean announced he had signed with Roc Nation for a management deal, but he is still with GOOD Music. "I Don't Fuck with You" was released on the same day with three more new songs: "Paradise", "4th Quarter", and "Jit / Juke". Producers included Mike Will Made It, DJ Dahi, Nate Fox, Da Internz, L&F, and Key Wane.
"I Don't Fuck with You" was produced by DJ Mustard and Kanye West and samples the D. J. Rogers song "Say You Love Me One More Time" (1976), with the closing adlibs being performed over a slightly sped-up version of the Earth, Wind & Fire song "September" (1978). The clean edit of the song produced for radio airplay does not contain either the word "fuck" or other words in the lyrics prohibited by the FCC.
"I Don't Fuck with You" has peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Big Sean's third highest-charting single on the chart and E-40's second-highest. It is also Big Sean's seventh and E-40's fifth top 20 single. As of February 2015, the song has sold 1,268,000 copies in the US.
The official music video for "I Don't Fuck with You" directed by Lawrence Lamont was released on November 6, 2014. It portrays Big Sean as a quarterback during a football game, and E-40 as a commentator. The song's producers, Kanye West and DJ Mustard, appear in the video along with Teyana Taylor, Big Boy, Jamal Lewis and internet sensations Simone Shepherd and Khalil Underwood.
