"I Wanna Thank Ya" is a song by American singer Angie Stone. It was produced by Jazze Pha for her third studio album Stone Love (2004) and features guest vocals from rapper Snoop Dogg. An uptempo R&B and neo soul track with heavy funk and disco elements, it samples from Deodato's song "Skatin'" (1980), Joyce Sims's "Come into My Life" (1987), DeBarge's "All This Love" (1982), and the S.O.S. Band's "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" (1980). "I Wanna Thank Ya" was released as the album's lead single on May 3, 2004.
The song earned largely positive reviews from music critics, who called it a "breezy summertime jam." It became a top ten hit on the UK R&B chart, but was less successful in the United States where it peaked at number 22 on the Adult R&B Songs chart, though a remix of the song, produced by Hex Hector and Mac Quayle became Stone's second number-one hit on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. British actor Idris Elba co-starred in the music video for "I Wanna Thank Ya," which was directed by Jessy Terrero.
