"Knockin' da Boots" is the debut single by R&B group H-Town, taken from their debut album Fever for da Flavor. The song became one of the biggest R&B singles of 1993 according to the Billboard charts, where it peaked at number three on the Hot 100 for seven weeks, and also topped the R&B chart for four weeks,[1] and it helped win the band a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist. The song was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and sold over 1.1 million copies.[2][3] The song contains replayed elements of "Be Alright" by Zapp. The term "Knockin' da Boots" means to have "sexual intercourse" with one another. In a profile of distinguished lawyer Kristine A. Huskey, Marie Claire magazine reported that Huskey had appeared as a dancer in the song's music video while attending law school.[4]
