Splash Waterfalls

"Splash Waterfalls" the fourth single off Ludacris' album Chicken-n-Beer. The song describes a desired love between two people, continually contrasting intimate romantic scenarios with more sexually explicit ones. The song features Sandy Coffee responding to Ludacris' verses, but she is not credited as featured guest on the single. This song's video and song content resembles another famous Ludacris single called "What's Your Fantasy", with its explicit lyrics and adult-like content. In the radio/music video version's lyrics, "touch me" replaces the explicit version's "fuck me".
