"Hello Good Morning" is a song by American musical trio Diddy – Dirty Money, released on March 30, 2010 as the second single from their debut studio album, Last Train to Paris. The electronic dance song incorporates an acid squelch section in the middle eight, and was written by Marcella Araica, Richard "Rico Love" Butler, Clifford "T.I." Harris and Nathaniel "Danja" Hills; the latter also handled its production. Southern rapper T.I. guest performs a verse on the song and Miami-based rapper Rick Ross guest performs on the music video and official remixed version, the latter of which replaces T.I.'s portion with a verse by Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj.
The song's musical composition was inspired by Diddy's experiences in Ibiza night clubs; its lyrics focus on sex, money and hedonism. Alongside the aforementioned remix, a "Grime Remix" with Skepta and a "Team UK remix" with Tinchy Stryder and Tinie Tempah were also released. Critics noted the track as one of the better songs from Last Train to Paris, with praise for Danja's production. However, its lyrics were criticized for being superficial and lacking substance. An accompanying music video, filmed by Hype Williams, features the trio parting in various nightclub settings in Los Angeles; Diddy also drives through a city during the nighttime, and T.I. performs his verse in a hotel. It was inspired by the 1995 film Heat. An edited version of the clip was made for the official remix, and a completely new street party-themed video was filmed for the grime remix.
"Hello Good Morning" was promoted with several live television performances, including season nine of American Idol and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. "Hello Good Morning" was the album and group's first song to enter the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 27. The song received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling in excess of 500,000 copies. Internationally, the single peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart, and was particularly successful on the German Black Chart and UK R&B Charts, where it reached numbers one and eight, respectively.
Composition
"Hello Good Morning" was written by Marcella Araica, Richard Butler, T.I., Nathaniel "Danja" Hills. The song, which features T.I. and was produced by Danja, is an electro-dance song influenced by Diddy's experiences in Ibiza where he visited the DC10 nightclub. The music influences included "Felix da Housecat, Erick Morillo, Deep Dish and DJ Hell". According to Rap-Up magazine, the lyrics refer to "keeping a party going till early hours of the morning" and find Diddy returning to his signature ad-libs. Nicki Escudero from The Phoenix New Times noted the song's superficial themes which included lyrics about "sex, money and cheating" Brandon Soderberg from The Village Voice noted the song's bridge where there was an "epic acid-squelch breakdown".
Remixes
Several official remixes were released alongside the video to promote the song. The first of these remixes added an introduction verse from rapper Rick Ross and then a new verse later in the song from female rapper, Nicki Minaj. Labelled the "Official Remix", it was released in the United States on June 29, 2010 for digital download. A music video for this version was created by adding additional footage to the original video. It premiered on June 21, 2010. A second remix featuring just Ross's additional verse was used for the song's main music video which premiered on May 11, 2010 A third remix was made for the UK, titled the "Team UK Remix". This version featured Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Stryder, Chip and Truth in place of Minaj and Ross. It premiered on June 11, 2010 on Tim Westwood's Radio 1Xtra daytime show Westwood. It was released as track two on the UK Digital EP single, released June 20, 2010. A final remix was created after Diddy highlighted his intent to find a UK emcee to record a new version of the song with him. Skepta was chosen for the remix, which was released as the "Official Grime Remix". It is the only remix which alters the song's production, and was released only in the UK, on August 12, 2010. A video for the grime remix was released on November 5, 2010. On January 5, 2010, MTV reported the emergence of a new remix of "Hello Good Morning". The new remix replaces T.I.'s vocals with a new verse from Eminem. D.L. Chandler from MTV said "Slim Shady’s humorous verses sound right at home over producer Danja’s club-ready banger."
Critical reception
In a review by USA Today, "Hello Good Morning" was picked out as one of the best three songs on the Last Train to Paris. Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song three out of five stars in his review for the song, stating that although Dirty Money promised a new sound the song sounded like "Timba–pop, albeit one with a better-than-average hook." He continued, "in Diddy's final-minute rap, [it's] a reminder of how he jump-started his journey towards a reported $300m fortune and a butler called Fonzworth Bentley." Matt from Above&Beyond said it was the Danja-produced beat and the T.I. feature that make the song good. Fraser McAlpine of BBC Music said "Diddy seems to have abandoned conventional rapping in favour of some Kanye–style automooing. He's quite good at it, too. Adds a certain nasal edge to proceedings. There's a middle bit, and it's like nothing else in the song... It sounds more like someone doing the "I've lost my keys" song, just before they leave the house in the morning. The odd thing is that it was left in there. I mean if minimal is your bag, surely that'd be the first bit to cut?" He awarded in four out of five stars. Becky Bain of Idolator was also positive about the song, saying, "Lyrically and stylistically, it’s a pretty standard club track—over various synth beats, the song covers the usual topics: hot girls dancing, crowds waiting to have fun, and spending time in a five star suite with some five star freaks getting high all week... But honestly, we’re just overjoyed this song isn’t just a thinly-veiled four-minute commercial for any one of Diddy’s various products."
However Nicki Escudero of the Phoenix New Times said that although the song was good for what it is, it lacked substance. "Now that Diddy-Dirty Money has had success with a superficial track about money, sex and cheating, here's hoping the group will release a deeper song about something more meaningful. Unfortunately, hope can only go so far." Meanwhile, Michael Cragg from The Guardian's music blog commented that the UK remix featuring Skepta salvages what would otherwise be a boring Diddy track. "Thankfully, UK grime king, Skepta, has rescued the song by pushing Diddy to the periphery – his flow consists of going 'uh', 'Skepta' and spelling out 'D.I.D.D.Y.# – setting off a smorgasbord of sonic explosions, tightening the whole thing up and making it sound a lot darker and more thrilling than a host of US producers could manage. Skepta also drops the following immortal line in the first verse: 'I like tea, but I don't like crumpets.' A man after my own heart."
Chart performance
Two weeks after Diddy–Dirty Money's appearance on American Idol, "Hello Good Morning" debuted on the U.S. Hot Digital Songs chart at No. 17, and the single debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at No. 34.

Consequently, the song became Diddy's best charting Hot 100 single since his 2007 hit single "Last Night" with Keyshia Cole, as well as his eleventh top-thirty Hot 100 single. In comparison, "Hello Good Morning" is Dawn Richard's second lowest charting Hot 100 single, but first appearance on the chart since 2008's "Damaged" as part of girlgroup, Danity Kane. For Kalenna Harper, it is her first Hot 100 chart appearance. T.I., who is featured on the song, received his highest Hot 100 chart peak, since his 2009 single "Dead and Gone" with Justin Timberlake. On August 18, 2010, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the single gold for selling at least 500,000 copies. On the official end of year charts, compiled by Billboard, "Hello Good Morning" ranked at No. 29 on the U.S. Hot Rap Songs chart and No. 65 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Additionally the single proved successful on urban charts around the world. "Hello Good Morning" peaked at No. 8 on the U.S. Hot Rap Songs chart and No. 13 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In Germany, it topped the Deutsche Black Charts (German Black Charts) while reaching top-ten on the United Kingdom's R&B Singles Chart and No. 24 on Australia's Urban Singles Chart. On the main singles charts, the song was most successful in the UK, where it charted at No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart. At the time of release, it became T.I.'s best UK charting single since 2009's "Dead and Gone", and his overall joint sixth-best charting UK single along with 2006's "Why You Wanna". In the rest of Europe the single had mixed success, reaching the top-twenty in Belgium, on both the Ultratip Flemish and Wallonian single charts. In Canada the single managed to chart at No. 55, and in Australia it peaked at No. 44. According to a press release by Interscope Records, as of March 25, 2011, "Hello Good Morning" has sold 1 million digital downloads worldwide.

The Making of "Hello Good Morning" on YouTube
Hello is a salutation or greeting in the English language. It is first attested in writing from 1826.
Early uses
Hello, with that spelling, was used in publications in the U.S. as early as the 18 October 1826 edition of the Norwich Courier of Norwich, Connecticut. Another early use was an 1833 American book called The Sketches and Eccentricities of Col. David Crockett, of West Tennessee, which was reprinted that same year in The London Literary Gazette. The word was extensively used in literature by the 1860s.
Etymology
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo, which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman". It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there'). As in addition to hello, halloo, hallo, hollo, hullo and (rarely) hillo also exist as variants or related words, the word can be spelt using any of all five vowels.
= Telephone
=Before the telephone, verbal greetings often involved a time of day, such as "good morning". When the telephone began connecting people in different time zones, greetings without time gained popularity.
Thomas Edison is credited with popularizing hullo as a telephone greeting. In previous decades, hullo had been used as an exclamation of surprise (used early on by Charles Dickens in 1850) and halloo was shouted at ferry boat operators by people who wanted to catch a ride. According to one account, halloo was the first word Edison yelled into his strip phonograph when he discovered recorded sound in 1877. Shortly after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he answered calls by saying "ahoy ahoy", borrowing the term used on ships. There is no evidence the greeting caught on. Edison suggested Hello! on August 15, 1877 in a letter to the president of Pittsburgh's Central District and Printing Telegraph Company, T. B. A. David:
Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away.
What you think? Edison – P.S. first cost of sender & receiver to manufacture is only $7.00.
The first name tags to include Hello may have 1880 at Niagara Falls, which was the site of the first telephone operators convention. By 1889, central telephone exchange operators were known as "hello-girls" because of the association between the greeting and the telephone.
A 1918 fiction novel uses the spelling "Halloa" in the context of telephone conversations.
= Hullo, hallo, and other spellings
=Hello might be derived from an older spelling variant, hullo, which the American Merriam-Webster dictionary describes as a "chiefly British variant of hello", and which was originally used as an exclamation to call attention, an expression of surprise, or a greeting. Hullo is found in publications as early as 1803. The word hullo is still in use, with the meaning hello.
Hello is alternatively thought to come from the word hallo (1840) via hollo (also holla, holloa, halloo, halloa). The definition of hollo is to shout or an exclamation originally shouted in a hunt when the quarry was spotted:
If I fly, Marcius,/Halloo me like a hare.
Fowler's has it that "hallo" is first recorded "as a shout to call attention" in 1864. It is used by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner written in 1798:
And the good south wind still blew behind,
But no sweet bird did follow,
Nor any day for food or play
Came to the mariners' hollo!
In many Germanic languages, including German, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch and Afrikaans, "hallo" literally translates into English as "hello". In the case of Dutch, it was used as early as 1797 in a letter from Willem Bilderdijk to his sister-in-law as a remark of astonishment.
Webster's dictionary from 1913 traces the etymology of holloa to the Old English halow and suggests: "Perhaps from ah + lo; compare Anglo Saxon ealā".
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, hallo is a modification of the obsolete holla (stop!), perhaps from Old French hola (ho, ho! + la, there, from Latin illac, that way).
= "Hello, World" computer program
=Students learning a new computer programming language will often begin by writing a "Hello, World!" program, which does nothing but issue the message "Hello, World!" to the user (such as by displaying it on a screen). It has been used since the earliest programs, and in many computer languages. This tradition was further popularised after being printed in an introductory chapter of the book The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie. The book had reused an example taken from a 1974 memo by Brian Kernighan at Bell Laboratories.
