"Dude" is the first single released from Jamaican musician Beenie Man's 16th studio album, Back to Basics (2004). It features Ms. Thing and was produced and written by Dave Kelly. The song is enhanced by the use of a vocoder and is on the "Fiesta" riddim.[1][2]

Kelly's Mad House label released "Dude" in Jamaica in 2003, and it was included on the Riddim Driven: Fiesta compilation album released the same year. Virgin Records then released a 12-inch single in the United States on 18 November 2003. "Dude" became a top-10 hit in the United Kingdom and a top-40 hit in Italy and the United States. The music video uses the remix of the song, which features American rapper Shawnna.
