"Hit That" was the first single from The Offspring's 2003 album Splinter. The single was first released in the U.S. and Australia in December 2003, and in the UK in January 2004. It reached the top 20 on the Australian ARIAnet Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart (#13 and #11 respectively), and #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.

"Hit That" also topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, proving to be one of their most successful singles for a while. This was the first time an Offspring song would hit #1 on that chart since "Come Out and Play".

"Hit That" is the first single by The Offspring to include synthesizer samples.
