"Timber" is a song by American rapper Pitbull featuring American singer Kesha. The song was released on October 7, 2013, as the lead single from Pitbull's extended play (EP) Meltdown. The song was produced by Dr. Luke, Cirkut, and Sermstyle, with additional production by Nick Seeley.[2][3] The song interpolates Lee Oskar's 1978 single "San Francisco Bay" and features harmonica player Paul Harrington, who plays through the entire song and was told to emulate Oskar.[4]
The song was the 90th-most popular song of the decade according to Billboard. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks. It also topped the charts in over fifteen additional countries. According to the IFPI, the song sold 9.6 million units worldwide in 2014, including single-track downloads and track-equivalent streams, becoming the sixth best-selling song of that year.[5] It was certified fifteen-times Platinum in Norway, diamond in the US and Germany, seven-times Platinum in Australia and Canada, and Gold or higher in fourteen additional countries. On August 15, 2024, Kesha's name was removed from the song title on YouTube but her credits in the description were kept. However, on August 19, 2024, this was reversed.[6]
