"Get Up" is a song recorded by R&B/pop singer Ciara and rapper Chamillionaire for the soundtrack of the dance/romance film Step Up. Released as a single in 2006 (see 2006 in music), it includes a subtly-incorporated portion of Rockwell's 1984 single "Somebody's Watching Me". It also appears on Ciara's second album Ciara: The Evolution. The up-tempo song is about Ciara seeing a male in a club, and while they dance together they start to have intimate feelings for each other. They have never spoken but feel they have some chemistry. Chamillionaire's rap verse is lyrically a sequel to Chamillionaire's previous single "Ridin'." The Jazze Pha-produced song was leaked onto the internet on June 15, 2006.
With its strong airplay in the U.S., "Get Up" debuted at number ninety-three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In its fourth week the single had moved up to number seven, becoming Ciara's seventh top ten single, before dropping because of declining digital download sales and airplay. As the song began receiving mainstream radio airplay, it began to ascend up the Billboard charts again. The single became another top five hit in New Zealand for Ciara. It debuted at number nine and in the second week move four spots up to number five. The song debuted in the top twenty in Switzerland and the top thirty in Germany.
Joseph Kahn, director of the single's video, described its look as "black-on-black futuristic". In the video, Ciara's story line follows the singer as she goes out street dancing. When she is on the roof, the stars of Step Up dance together and a rain downpour begins. During this scene, the camera sweeps in and slides over Ciara's body in single-shot takes and creates an effect using macro lenses on real bodies, intermediate CGI bodies and 2-D wipes and morphs. At the end, Ciara is in her bed in the apartment. The video premiered on AOL Music on July 17, then on both TRL and 106 & Park the following day.
