"Switch" is a single released in 2005 by Will Smith from his album Lost & Found.

The song peaked at #7 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It reached #1 in Canada and Australia where it remained for one week and #4 in the United Kingdom.

On the iTunes Music Store, for a small period, the single ranked No. 2 on the Top 100 Songs and No. 1 on the genre category Hip-Hop/Rap.

Will Smith performed the song live on the Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards 2005, at San Antonio before Game 1 of the 2005 NBA Finals between the Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs, and at the Live 8 concert in Philadelphia.

There are 2 official remixes to the song-an R&B remix featuring Robin Thicke with a smoother and slower rhythm and a reggae remix featuring Elephant Man. Both can be found on the Lost & Found album. One of the most common remix found on various file-sharing programs is the "Switch" (Lil Jon Remix). It is unknown if it was produced by Lil Jon.

Strangely Enough, The First Live Performance of the song is sang on Fox Studios, Australia on July 19, 2004 during the Australian premiere of I, Robot and Will mentioned the song is to be released six weeks after the movie premiere. However, his song is actually released later on the release of Hitch instead.
