I Got a Thang for You is the second single off Trina's fourth Album Still da Baddest. The song features R&B superstar Keyshia Cole. It was chosen after much speculation and talk about the 2nd single. The song was produced by Kane da Kameleon, while the chorus was written by Midus, both of Slick Salt Entertainment.

Release

Trina was on MTV's Sucker Free and confirmed "I Got a Thang for You" was chosen as the second single. The song was released in February of 2008 and shipped to radios. It can currently be streamed via Trina's MySpace page and YouTube. The video debuted on BET 106 & Park on May 9, 2008 as the new joint of the day.

Music Video

The video begins with Trina asking her audience if they have ever hidden their emotions from a male that they have been attracted to. Trina's love interest, Thomas Jones from the New York Jets, then walks into a hotel, then switching to scenes of Keyshia singing with Trina. Afterwards, Trina leaves from an elevator as her male interest enters the same one she had left. As they walk by one another, the look into each other's eyes and continue to pass by one another. Trina and Keyshia inside another house and sit on a couch laughing amongst one another. A few scenes are shown with Toccara Jones opening her mailbox and Trina leaving the house. The camera then switches to the male putting on his clothes. During the bridge, Keyshia sings, and the male interest enters Trina's house and he opens her lime green trench coat and touches her body. The video fades out with Trina and Keyshia making seductive motions, gesturing that they want to be caressed, and pointing to the camera.

Peak Chart Position

Although the song got massive airplay on Hip-Hip stations, the single failed to garner much attention, peaking at a disappointing #59 on the R&B Single Chart, matching the position of Single Again. A reissue was planned, however it was cancelled by Slip-N-Slide Records at the last minute.
