"21 Questions" is the second single from 50 Cent's debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Released in 2003, it became 50 Cent's second number-one single in the United States, following In Da Club; it also reached number six in the United Kingdom. The song was written by 50 Cent, K.Risto, J.Cameron, and V.Cameron, and produced by Dirty Swift and Barry White in the sense that the music sample is from his song It's Only Love Doing Its Thing. The accompanying music video (directed by Damon Johnson, Dr. Dre and Phil Atwell) depicts 50 Cent arrested and confined to prison, where he tries to keep in touch with his girlfriend (Meagan Good) whilst being constantly harangued by rival inmate Tyson Beckford. The video ends with an alternate version of the beginning, showing 50 Cent and his girlfriend watching from their home as the police arrest Beckford instead of 50 Cent. The video has cameo appearances by the G-Unit and Nate Dogg, who sings the chorus and the outro. The video concept can also be originated from Nate Dogg's Never Leave Me Alone, Lil Mo has made a remix to the song titled "21 answers".
