[edit] Song Information

The song "Move Ya Body" was spawned and advertised as a summer dance hit. The song itself is Nicole and Natalie in a club, singing "move your body, girl". The song's context was proven odd, but was meant as a positive "Go get him girl!" message.

The song uses the Coolie Dance riddim and contains a sample of the Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam song titled "Can You Feel The Beat."

[edit] Chart Success

The song charted at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #22 on the 2004 Billboard Year-End Chart. It was certified Gold by the RIAA in early 2005
