Bring the (T)Pain - The transition from rapper to singer was probably the best move T-Pain has made in his career and in life. Now, ten years after his first big hit single, the “I’m Sprung” singer is releasing his fifth studio album, Stoicville: The Phoenix, on December 11. But before he brings us new material, it’s important to look back at the past and his long, Grammy-winning and Billboard-topping journey. We took a look back at 15 of his singles to see how influential they were on the charts, in musical careers and in our nostalgic minds. — Janice Llamoca(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

'Low' – Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain - Before Flo Rida became a radio killa churning out hit after hit on his own, he had help from T-Pain, who sang the hook for his first single. It became the longest running No. 1 single of 2008. (Photo: Mark Davis/Getty Images for YouTube)

'All I Do Is Win' – DJ Khaled Featuring T-Pain, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross - The pattern here is clearly a lot of winning for T-Pain, even after Jay Z declared the “Death of Auto-Tune” in 2009.

'Can’t Believe It' – T-Pain Featuring Lil Wayne - Songs about women have proved to be successful for T-Pain. Apparently, there’s something about synthesized cooing that makes the ladies go wild. This one didn’t land at No. 1, but it still made its way to the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100.(Photo: John Ricard / BET)

'Cyclone' – Baby Bash Featuring T-Pain - A cyclone may be the only natural disaster that is acceptable as a dance. T-Pain had the ladies winding and destroying everything in their paths.(Photo: UPI/ Michael Bush /LANDOV)

'Shawty' – Plies Featuring T-Pain - T-Pain almost had us thinking this was a love ballad. That is, until Plies introduced the term “bust-it baby” because “she keeps it tight.” That’s how convincing Auto-Tune can be.(Photo: Jag Gundu/Getty Images)

'5 O’Clock' – T-Pain Featuring Lily Allen and Wiz Khalifa - Lily Allen is a hitmaker all on her own in the UK, but did you know this song is her first Billboard top ten single in the U.S.? That’s T-Pain breaking walls down for you. Thank you, Auto-Tuned gawd. (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
