"Satisfy You" is a song by American rapper Puff Daddy featuring singer R. Kelly. The song was co-written by both Puff Daddy and Kelly, with additional writing by Kelly Price, who performs backing vocals. The song's beat and bassline is taken from "I Got 5 on It" by Luniz, which itself interpolates Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad", among others.

It received a nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000, losing to "You Got Me" by the Roots.[1]
