Unsourced
The single kicked off what would be a string of back to back hits for Usher. "Yeah!" was followed by number-one hits "Burn", "Confessions Part II", and "My Boo" (with Alicia Keys). The song not only shot Usher to new heights of fame, but it also made Lil Jon one of the most popular producers of 2004.

Musically, the song was influential in applying Lil Jon's "crunk" beat-making to a pop-R&B context—utilizing sung portions over Lil Jon's trademark huge, low-end synthesizer hooks. The song thus validated the applications of "Dirty South"-style beats to R&B songs—as on subsequent songs like Amerie's "Touch", Monica featuring Dem Franchize Boyz's "Everytime tha Beat Drop", and Chris Brown featuring Juelz Santana's number-one pop and R&B hit "Run It!", actually produced by Scott Storch in a style heavily derivative of "Yeah!" and Lil Jon's crunk in general. Also Mario would do a very similar song: "Boom", from his 2004 album Turning Point, with similar lyrics, Lil Jon producing, and a rap collaborator (Juvenile). There is a remix to "Yeah!" featuring Lil Jon, Ludacris, Bone Crusher, YoungBloodZ, Nivea, and Pastor Troy.

In 2004, Drunkenmunky remixed a sample from "Yeah!" into a hard house track with the same name.

The track was picked up by Z100 in March 2004, and managed to hit number one on the "Interactive 9@9" for a month and a half. On VH1, the song was ranked number one on the Top 40 Videos of 2004.

The song is considered one of the high points of the crunk movement in popular hip hop music.

I've just revamped the article and found some unsourced contents. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 09:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I still don't get it
I today was watching "Yeah!" music video and on the final of the video, there is a hallway scenes. I don't understand that scenes. Melyssa says to Usher "come here" and Usher is walking on the hallway when suddenly, Melyssa grasps Usher and Usher goes to a darkened room. We see Usher in the wall. In the end of that scenes, Melyssa takes the cap of Usher and she strains the hair. I just don't get it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.28.13.158 (talk) 18:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah! vs. Love In This Club
music battle - Yeah! vs. Love In This Club

I made a music video battle. Now choose the winner!

Info of the end of Yeah! : Melyssa says to Usher "come here" and Usher goes to a hallway. Usher see nobody on the hallway so Usher walk. Melyssa appears and grasps Usher and Usher beats against a wall. To follow, Melyssa takes the cap that Usher has in the head and she strains her hair.

Info of the end of Love In This Club : Instead of a hallway, Usher goes to a exit of the club and Keri Hilson appears and to finish the video, Keri disappear.

Now vote!

Orphaned references in Yeah! (Usher song)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Yeah! (Usher song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Billboard": From Slap (song): Marisa Brown. Release Therapy - Ludacris Billboard. Accessed January 11, 2008. From Turn Me On: Billboard allmusic.com (Retrieved June 19, 2008) From Goodies (song): Ciara - Billboard singles From Oh (Ciara song): Ciara - Charts & Awards - Billboard singles From Ciara: Billboard.com Biography - Ciara".

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:43, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah! (Usher song) → Yeah! (song) – Neither of the other two songs have an exclamation mark. Unreal7 (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose several songs have that punctuation on the dab page Yeah -- 70.50.149.56 (talk) 21:56, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * But this is the only one which has an article. See Chasing the Sun (song) and Under the Sun (song) for other examples. Unreal7 (talk) 20:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * How is Chasing the Sun and Under the Sun the same thing? Zac (talk) 06:35, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Because there are other songs of those names but they don't have articles. That was my point about articles not exclamation marks. Unreal7 (talk) 22:37, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Support As explained, it's the only article entitled Yeah with the exclamation mark and an article.  Et 3  rnal  20:32, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Just because the other song titles with an exclamation point don't have articles, it doesn't mean there always won't be. Zac (talk) 06:35, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I never said that there would never be another one because another one may exist in the near or distant future, but until that time comes... Unreal7 (talk) 22:35, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Yeah! (Usher song) → Yeah! (song) – This article has a ~1590:1 pageview ratio with "Yeah!" (Paul Brandt song) (other song articles such as "Yeah" [Joe Nichols song] and "Yeah" [LCD Soundsystem song] do not matter per WP:DIFFPUNCT), an almost-certain WP:PRIMARYPDAB. Additionally, the Usher song meets WP:PT1 and 2 per both page views and overall long term significance. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 13:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe Edits!

 * Weak support - per nom. I do wonder if natural disambiguation will have users searching "yeah usher", but that's not enough of a concern to change my vote. Couruu (talk) 10:55, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Incomplete disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose Whether there's an exclamation point is a triviality. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 14:39, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * DIFFPUNCT deals exactly with this, no? The vast majority of people searching "Yeah!" - i.e. with the exclamation mark - will want the Usher song. Couruu (talk) 08:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * In fact, DIFFPUNCT explicitly states exclamation marks as an example of acceptable disambiguation, with Airplane! vs Airplane. Couruu (talk) 08:08, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It says it's acceptable, not desirable or obligatory. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:56, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The distinction I see between this and Airplane! is that "Airplane" is not usually used in common English as an exclamation whereas "Yeah" usually is. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 15:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
