"Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" is a 1997 song by American rapper Busta Rhymes from his second studio album When Disaster Strikes (1997). It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 40th Grammy Awards, but lost to "Men in Black" by Will Smith. In addition to the Grammy nomination, the video also garnered four VMA nominations including Best Male Video and Best Rap Video at the 1998 MTV VMA's.
The song became successful, it peaked at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, as well as reaching number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, whilst reaching number sixteen on the UK Singles Chart. In 1999, MTV ranked the video itself at #20 for The 100 Greatest Music Videos Ever Made. The song contains a sample of "Sweet Green Fields" by Seals and Crofts. It was later sampled by R&B trio Total for their song "If You Want Me" off of their second album Kima, Keisha, and Pam (1998). Janet Jackson has also sampled the song in a dance breakdown to her hit song "Nasty" on "The Velvet Rope Tour". Soul singer Syleena Johnson used a sample of the music for her single "Tonight I'm Gonna Let Go (the Remix)" which features Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad from the parent album Chapter 2: The Voice (2002).
