"Wet the Bed" is a song by American R&B recording artist Chris Brown featuring American rapper Ludacris, from his fourth studio album F.A.M.E. (2011). It was written by Brown, Derrick "Bigg D" Baker, Steven Kubie, Kevin McCall, Amber Streeter, Andre Merritt, Joseph Bereal and Christopher Bridges, and produced by Bigg D. Lyrically, the song sees Brown and Ludacris exploring ways to leave a woman satisfied. "Wet the Bed" received mixed reviews from most music critics, who were ambivalent towards its lyrics. It was released as a single and has appeared on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number twenty-five. The song has been performed live at the album's listening party, as well as on Brown's F.A.M.E. Tour.
"Wet the Bed" was written by Brown, Derrick "Bigg D" Baker, Steven Kubie, Kevin McCall, Sevyn Streeter, Andre Merritt, Joseph Bereal and Christopher Bridges, while the production was handled by Bigg D and Steven "Q-Beatz" Kubie aka "The Kid" at South Beach Studios, Miami with engineers Eric Manco and Ryan Coplan. It was recorded and mixed by Brian Springer at The Record Plant—a studio in Los Angeles, California. "Wet the Bed" is a slow-tempo R&B song. The song begins with keys laced over a beat of dripping sound effects. It also makes use of acoustic guitar. According to Brad Wete from Entertainment Weekly, the song "rival[s] the bump-'n'-grind heights of '90s Casanova crew Jodeci." Ludacris opens the song proclaiming: "Hear the sound of your body drip, drip, drip / As I kiss both sexy lip, lip, lips." Using "blatant sexual metaphors", Brown then sings: "I ain't afraid to drown, if that means I deep up in your ocean yeah / Girl I'll drink you down, sipping on your body all night."
