"Lemon" is a song by American band N.E.R.D. from their fifth studio album, No One Ever Really Dies (2017).^[4] The song features vocals from Barbadian singer Rihanna, and was released as the album's lead single on November 1, 2017.^[5]

Former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Arlen Specter is sampled in the song as the man saying "wait a minute."^[6]

Several alternate versions of the songs were produced, including a version without the Rihanna feature (which sees Pharrell rapping a similar verse), a radio edit, and an edited version submitted to streaming services that omits Pharrell's first verse. The remix featuring Drake was released on March 17, 2018.^[7]^[8]^[9]
