"(When You Gonna) Give It up to Me" (also known as "Give It up to Me") is a reggae–dancehall song written by Sean Paul for his third album The Trinity (2005). The single to be released after "Temperature" was meant to be "Breakout", but was switched to "Give It Up To Me" to promote the film Step Up. It is the fourth U.S. single taken from the album and the sixth UK single. It was a split single with "Never Gonna Be the Same", which was released outside the North America in July 2006 but it was finally released worldwide in October 2006. The version released as a single was a collaboration with Keyshia Cole and the song was a single from the Step Up film soundtrack. Despite The Trinity being re-released just before the single release, the version with Keyshia Cole did not make the album, despite a "radio version" being added.
The single climbed as high as number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart upon its release in the U.S. in the summer of 2006. This became Sean Paul's 6th Top 10 hit and 1st Top 10 hit for Keyshia Cole.
On October 30, 2006, the song was officially released as a single in the UK.
