"How Do U Want It" is a song by American rapper Tupac Shakur. The third single from his 1996 album All Eyez on Me, it featuers R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo, who were at the time best known as the lead singers of Jodeci. The song was produced by Johnny "J" and samples "Body Heat" by Quincy Jones. The song's lyrics are predominantly sexual, but it features a boastful third verse and a derogatory reference to anti-rap activist C. Delores Tucker in the second verse. 

Released as a double A-side single with "California Love", it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and charted highly in various other countries including Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The song was eventually certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.
