A "count in", or "lead-in" is a verbal or instrumental cue used to establish the song's initial tempo. A verbal cue usually has a band member counting "1,2,3,4" whereas an instrumental example would be hitting drumsticks together.

I think this is a "thing" for many songs Pharrell produces/helps write, first couple off the top of head being Drop It Like It's Hot and Happy.
