"I'll Trade (A Million Bucks)" is the lead single by the R&B singer Keith Sweat featuring former label-mate Lil' Mo from Sweat's seventh album, Didn't See Me Coming (2000). The song was solely written by Mo and featured production by Sweat, Barry Salter and Jules Bartholomew. An autotuned remix produced by Walter "Mucho" Scott was released to vinyl pressings and appeared on Sweat's album as an interlude in the form of a snippet.[2][3] A music video for the single was directed by J. Jesses Smith and premiered on BET in late September 2000.[4][5]

In 2005, the song served as a sample for R&B singer Jhené Aiko's song, "Right Here," from the Disney Channel soundtrack, The Proud Family (2005).
