"Hi-De-Ho" is a song written, produced, and performed by American rock musician Jack White, featuring rapper and producer Q-Tip, former lead of the hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, who is also credited for writing the song.
It is based on and samples the scat phrase sung by Cab Calloway in the 1943 song, "Hi De Ho Man".
[4][3] The production of "Hi-De-Ho" began when White first heard it on the radio, and enjoyed it so much that he had the idea of sampling Calloway's scatting along with a drumbeat.
[2][3] It was uploaded on White's YouTube channel and released on digital download and streaming on March 3, 2022.
A limited edition 7-inch tri-color single paired with A-side, "Queen of the Bees" is available exclusively at Third Man Records Cass Corridor Detroit on April 9, 2022, to promote White's fifth studio album Entering Heaven Alive, released on July 22, along with his Supply Chain Issues Tour.
