"Strip" is a song by American recording artist Chris Brown, featuring American rapper Kevin "K-MAC" McCall, released as a single from his mixtape Boy In Detention and as a buzz single from Brown's fifth studio album Fortune on November 18, 2011. It was written by Amber Streeter, Brown, Christopher Whitacre, J. Lonny Bereal, Justin Henderson and McCall, while production was handled by Tha Bizness. "Strip" peaked at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number three on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
"Strip" was written by Amber Streeter, Chris Brown, Christopher Whitacre, J. Lonny Bereal, Justin Henderson and Kevin McCall, while production was handled by Tha Bizness. The song first appeared on Brown's mixtape Boy in Detention in 2011. On October 27, 2011, Brown announced via his official Twitter account that "Strip" and "Biggest Fan" would serve as the two lead singles from his fifth studio album Fortune (2012). However, following the online premiere of "Turn Up the Music" on January 26, 2012, several websites, including MTV News and Billboard magazine, reported that this would be the lead single from the album, while "Strip" served as a buzz single. A remix of the song made by Brown and McCall, was posted online on April 5, 2012.
Musically, "Strip" is a "bouncy synth-heavy" R&B song, with lyrics of Brown crooning to a stripper. As stated by Lewis Corner of Digital Spy, it features "booty-bouncing mix of pulsing beats and '90s-styled melodies."
