"Where the Party At" is a song by American R&B group Jagged Edge featuring American rapper Nelly. The song spent three weeks at number-one on the US R&B chart. It was the group's highest-charting single on the US Billboard Hot 100, spending five weeks at number three in September 15, 2001. The song was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 44th Grammy Awards in 2002, a new category at the time. It lost to Eve and Gwen Stefani's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind".

Background

"Where the Party At" was written by Jagged Edge members Brian and Brandon Casey along with Nelly and its producers, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, for the group's third studio album Jagged Little Thrill (2001). While Durpi and Jagged Edge initially focused on producing ballads, the success of the "Let's Get Married (Remix)" encouraged a shift toward uptempo material, with "Where the Party At" ermerging as the first uptempo record created for the album. A guitar element was incorporated early in the production, reflecting a broader trend in Dupri's work at the time.

Remix

The official remix of "Where the Party At", titled the "11-01-01" remix, was done by Jermaine Dupri and features him alongside Da Brat, Lil Bow Wow, R.O.C., and Tigah.
