"Sunshine" is the fourth single released from American rapper Twista's fourth album, Kamikaze. The song did not find success in the United States, but in the United Kingdom, "Sunshine" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. "Sunshine" features R&B singer Anthony Hamilton and was produced by Red Spyda. Boo & Gotti make cameo appearances throughout the video.
Composition "Sunshine" heavily samples Bill Withers' 1977 hit, "Lovely Day." The Twista track begins with a lengthy sample of "Lovely Day"; additionally, the chorus is a reworded version of the original Withers chorus.
