"Business" is Eminem in full comic-book mode, a cut from his fourth studio album, The Eminem Show (2002), that casts him and his producer Dr. Dre as a crime-fighting Batman-and-Robin team, a bit he'd first tried out in the video for "Without Me". Dre produced and mixed it and chips in vocals of his own, Mike Elizondo plays bass and guitar and Ron "Neff-U" Feemster adds keyboards; the four of them share the writing credit, and Shy Felder, Traci Nelson, Conesha Owens and Barbara Wilson sing backup.

Pitchfork heard the production as cartoonish, in the vein of his early singles and a snug fit for the superhero theme, while CultureDose's Marty Brown called Dre's beat a launchpad that works as well for laughs as for rage. It was the album's fifth and last single, released in July 2003 only outside the US.
