"Jazzy Belle" is the third and last single from hip-hop group Outkast's second studio album, ATLiens. It was released as a remix single and it peaked at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is the only single from the album ATLiens to be produced by Organized Noize, the other two singles being produced by OutKast themselves.
The rapper Tupac Shakur is mentioned in Verse Two by Big Boi. According to American rapper Ludacris he tried to sneak in the music video, for the song but he was escorted. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds provides back up vocals on the Swift C's Remix.
Big Boi has claimed that he didn't like the production on "Jazzy Belle", but Andre 3000 was so enthusiastic with the track that he went along with it. They also, allegedly, had an argument about whether or not to release the track as a single, but, ultimately, Andre 3000 "talked some sense into [him]". This was later revealed to be Andre bribing Big Boi with cash. This amount was also "nothing compared to what Andre got". Big Boi spoke about this in a 1999 interview where the main topic was Andre and his "weirdness".
