"Chicken Noodle Soup" is a song by American recording artists from Webstar and Young B (an unsigned artist from Harlem born Bianca Dupree). The song was released on September 12, 2006 as the lead single promoting Webstar's 2006 debut album Caught in the Web. The song was produced by music producer Da Drizzle, born Jamal Christopher Reynolds, who was Dupree's uncle, and also featured rapper [AG] The Voice of Harlem. The viral dance accompanying the song, was allegedly choreographed by Allie Bernard.

In September 2019, South Korean rapper J-Hope of boy band BTS released a sampled version of the song featuring American singer Becky G.[3][4]
