"Tambourine" is a hip hop song written by Eve, Swizz Beatz, and Sean Garrett for Eve's fourth studio album Here I Am (2008). The song heavily samples "Blow Your Whistle" from The Soul Searchers. It was released as the album's lead single in 2007 (see 2007 in music), becoming Eve's first charting single as a lead performer in over four years. In the week of April 19, 2007, the song debuted at number 73 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it continues to gain momentum. The song has also been made available for purchase as a single on iTunes. In the UK, "Tambourine" debuted at number 38, two weeks before the song's physical release. The song has so far peaked at number 18 there and is her fifth consecutive top twenty solo hit there. The b-side to "Tambourine" is the previously unreleased "Dancefloor" featuring Mashonda. The song features uncredited vocals by the song's producer Swizz Beatz (he is not credited as a featured performer).
The track is also featured in the movie Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This song was #68 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007. Tambourine was also #70 on MTV Asia 's list of Top 100 Hits of 2007.
Eventually, the song was a flop in the US, and in other many countries.
