"'''It's Me Bitches'''" (censored as '''"It's Me Snitches"''') is a song by American producer and rapper [[Swizz Beatz]]. The song, released February 13, 2007, serves as the [[lead single]] from his debut studio album, ''[[One Man Band Man]]'' (2007). The single debuted on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] at number 100 and peaked at number 83.

An edited version of the song was featured on the [[Madden 2008]] soundtrack. The song gained popularity on [[So You Think You Can Dance (season 4)|''So You Think You Can Dance'']] when [[Robert Muraine]] gave a fairly lengthy audition set to the edited instrumental version of the song, and it was used again in season 6, episode 11 of ''[[Entourage (U.S. TV series)|Entourage]]''.

==Background== The unusual beat was created by Swizz Beatz while having fun and felt to make a song. The warping effect was from [[Crazy Town]]'s ''Hollywood Babylon''. He recalled: "I did the beat because I felt like making the beat."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rodriguez |first=Jayson |title=Beyonce Hitmaker Swizz Beatz Defies Radio Rules With Two-Minute Single |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1551558/20070202/swizz_beats.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070206225133/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1551558/20070202/swizz_beats.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 6, 2007 |work=MTV News |publisher=MTV Networks |date=February 5, 2007 |access-date=2008-02-25}}</ref>

{{cquote|R. Kelly delivers one of the most vivid boasts of all time ("After sex, I beat my chest like King Kong!"), and Swizz brings a freaked-out track that eventually resolves into the [[Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang]]'s classic "[[C.R.E.A.M.]]" [[Hip hop production|beat]].}}

The line on Wayne's verse, "He so sweet make her wanna lick the wrapper, so I let her lick the rapper", was later popularized on his 2008 hit single, "[[Lollipop (Lil Wayne song)|Lollipop]]", taken from his sixth studio album, ''[[Tha Carter III]]''.
