"Ooh!" is a song by American recording artist Mary J. Blige, taken from her sixth studio album, Love & Life (2003). Sampling interpolations of the 1991 hip-hop classic, "I Gotta Have It" by Ed OG, which itself sampled Hamilton Bohannon's 1973 track "Singing a Song for My Mother", it was released as the album's second single in 2003. The Diddy-produced single reached number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. A remix, officially titled the "G-Unit Remix", that featured 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Young Buck, was later released.
A video for the song was directed by Sanji. It portrayed Blige fighting and dancing different versions of herself, who all represented her inner emotions and feelings. The video was dedicated to the soldiers in the war. Blige received a nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards for the song.
