"Southern Hospitality" is a song by American rapper Ludacris, released by Disturbing tha Peace and Def Jam Recordings in January 2001 as the second single from his second album Back for the First Time (2001). It was written alongside Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, both of whom produced the song as members of the production duo the Neptunes. Williams also performs the line "nigga, throw dem bows", heard in the song's hook and outro.

"Southern Hospitality" debuted at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated January 20, 2001, and peaked at number 23 on the issue dated March 24.

In an interview with GQ, Ludacris stated that he had eaten soon before hanging upside down for the music video, and vomited soon after recording the scene.

The song was a last-minute addition to the album, and Ludacris himself was surprised by its popularity.

The song entered music charts in January 2001, as single from his major label debut album, Back For the first time. At the time of its debut in mid-January, the song sat at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100. But would see more commercial success as the year went on. When asked in a 2023 interview in the ALL THE SMOKE podcast, Ludacris said there was immediate positive response from general audiences for the single. He states that although he was satisfied with the song and the input he got from other artists, it was almost removed from the album because he did not think it would turn into the hit that it was.

While steadily continuing to climb the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song also entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at number six, as well as the Hot Rap Songs chart at number five. In March 2003, it peaked at number 23 on the former chart. It would remain on the charts for the following 12 weeks before leaving with its final placement at 81 on June 2, 2001.
