"My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" is the first single released from Khia's debut album Thug Misses. It is one of the highest-charting songs to strongly refer explicitly to cunnilingus and oral contact with the gluteal cleft.
Early controversy
"My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" was originally released as an underground song and it featured numerous covers, some by Khia and some by other women. The main premise of the song was about cunnilingus as well as analingus and had to be edited heavily. When released in the spring of 2002, it reached number forty-two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It also reached the top ten in the UK, and the top twenty in Australia.
The song had an explicit version leaked on the Internet, known as the "dirty version", which contained raunchier lyrics.
Music video
The video for the song, directed by Diane Martel, was released during the spring of 2002 and showed Khia at a cook-out. The video got a lot of flack for being what many described as "ghetto". The video had many parodies mocking Khia and her weight.
In the United Kingdom, where the song reached number four in October 2004, a different music video was used, which did not feature Khia herself, but instead a group of bikini-clad models washing a sports car in a sexual manner, and lip-syncing the words of the song.
