"Let Me Blow Ya Mind" is a song by American rapper Eve featuring fellow American singer Gwen Stefani. It was released on April 2, 2001, as the second and final single from the former's second album, Scorpion. It became Eve's highest-charting single on the US Billboard Hot 100 (later tied with 2002's "Gangsta Lovin'"), peaking at number two on the week of August 18, 2001. Worldwide, the song reached number 29 in Canada, number four in Australia and the United Kingdom, and number one in Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia), Ireland, Norway, and Switzerland.
The song was listed at number seven on the 2001 Pazz & Jop list, a survey of several hundred music critics conducted by Robert Christgau. It won a Grammy Award in 2002 for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, which was a new category at the time. The music video won the 2001 MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video.
"Let Me Blow Ya Mind" was written completely by Eve and produced by Dr. Dre and Scott Storch. Eve had previously been signed by Dr. Dre, but had then been dropped from his Aftermath label for lack of direction. After her second deal with Ruff Ryders, she was able to reconnect with Dr. Dre. The lyrics address those who doubted Eve's ability to maintain mainstream popularity. Eve was told that the song was "never going to work"; however, her chemistry with Gwen Stefani was strong. The song is performed in the key of G♯ minor with a tempo of 90 beats per minute.
