What These Bitches Want
2000 single by DMX featuring Sisqó
"What These Bitches Want" (edited for radio as "What You Want" or "What They Really Want") is a song by American rapper DMX, released as the third single from his third album ... And Then There Was X (1999). The song features Sisqó from the group Dru Hill, while his fellow group member Nokio the N-Tity produced the song and provided background vocals. The subject matter in the song is past women in DMX's life.
In August 2019, the song regained prominence on social media 19 years after its initial release date when a DMX challenge surfaced on the internet. For the challenge, women piece together photos and clips of themselves in various hairstyles, switching the images to the song's lyrics to suggest that they're a different person with every hairstyle.
