"My Place" is a song by American rapper Nelly featuring R&B singer Jaheim. It is the lead single from Nelly's fourth studio album, Suit (2004). The song is about Nelly inviting a girl over to his house, and the female backing vocals are provided by Kim Johnson. The track samples three songs: Labelle's "Isn't It a Shame", DeBarge's "I Like It", and Teddy Pendergrass's "Come Go with Me",[2] so the respective songwriters are given credits.

"My Place" was released on July 19, 2004, to American radio. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, the song was issued as a double A-side with "Flap Your Wings". Upon the single's release, it reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
