"G.D.F.R." (abbreviation for Goin' Down For Real) is a song by American rapper Flo Rida featuring American rapper Sage the Gemini and American music producer and DJ Lookas from the former's EP My House (2015). It was released as the album's lead single on August 21, 2014, in the United States. The song was written by Flo Rida, Sage the Gemini and P-Lo and produced by DJ Frank E and Andrew Cedar with co-production from Lookas and Miles Beard.[1]

The song peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2015, making it Flo Rida's tenth top ten single on the chart, selling over one million copies domestically. Outside of the United States, "G.D.F.R." peaked within the top ten of the charts in nine countries, including Denmark, Germany, Norway, and the United Kingdom.[2]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

The song uses instrumental samples from Lookas' remix of "Low Rider" by War, namely in its hook. Some listeners incorrectly believe that the song is played with an oboe, however, the song is played with a saxophone by Clay Pritchard.[3] Flo Rida has stated that he shortened the title to G.D.F.R. to remind the listener of graffiti.[4] Sheet music shows the key of G minor,[5] with a tempo of 146 beats per minute.

Music video

[edit | edit source]

The official music video was released on December 24, 2014. The set revolves around Flo Rida as a basketball coach with professional dancers who double as basketball players (Team Strong Arm vs. Team Mad Dog). Team Strong Arm comes back in the end and wins by 3 points. Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem, Natalie La Rose, and Gorilla Zoe makes an appearance.[4] During parts of the video the on screen score displays the incorrect initials G.F.D.R.[6]

Rap group 2 Live Crew (Brother Marquis and Fresh Kid Ice) also make a cameo.[7]
