"Return the Favor" (released as "Return the Favour" in UK and Australia) is a song by American singer-songwriter Keri Hilson, taken from her upcoming debut album, In a Perfect World... (2009). It features Timbaland's trademark vocals and production with additional production credits from The Clutch.

The single is to serve as the lead single for the UK, Australia and Germany
Music video
Hilson premiered the music video for the song directed by Melina, on MTV's TRL on October 23. The video starts off showing a television set playing Timbaland's "The Way I Are" video featuring Hilson. Timbaland is shown pressing a button on the television set, which turns to the "Return the Favor"

music video.
In the video, multiple settings are shown. One shows Hilson singing with shades and two mics in her hand. Another includes a dance scene with Hilson and four other female dancers dancing on what seems like a big puddle of water. Timbaland is showing in the video controlling the television set showing the video, and sitting in a chair in front of a big screen showing Hilson singing.

The video was released to UK music channels on March 16, 2009. It was then released for download in Australia on March 27, 2009.

The video has caused some controversy among critics, as it shows a much more sexual Hilson with her legs exposed and in a variety of sexually suggestive poses. This contrasts with her image in "The Way I Are" video.
