"Sunshine" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Lil' Flip, released May 24, 2004, as the second single from his third album, U Gotta Feel Me (2004). The song, produced by the Synphony, features vocals by American singer Lea. It reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, Hot Rap Tracks, and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts, stuck in each case behind Terror Squad's "Lean Back".
The official remix of "Sunshine" is called "Baby Boy, Baby Girl" and originally featured singer Amerie, but she was later replaced by Lea. The remix samples The Notorious B.I.G.'s 1997 single "Hypnotize". In 2022, American rapper Tyga remade the song adding new lyrics, featuring American singer Jhené Aiko and American rapper Pop Smoke.
