"Whine Up" is a song by Dominican-American R&B singer Kat DeLuna, released as her debut single from her album 9 Lives (released on August 7, 2007).^[2] The song features Elephant Man. It was believed that Ivy Queen was featured, but reps for the singer said she was never involved with the song. It seems that Kat herself provided the rap, rapping at a lower register. It was the official theme song for World Wrestling Entertainment's SummerSlam 2007 pay-per-view event.^[3]^[4] The song earned DeLuna a Bilboard Latin Music Award for Latin Dance Club Play Track Of The Year.^[5]

[edit] Music video

DeLuna had asked fans that live in the New York City area to send in a video of them dancing on her song so they might win the opportunity to be featured in the music video for the song.^[6]

The video premiered via her MySpace page. It starts with DeLuna singing an opera piece for her friend to be interrupted by the tune of her song. Then the whole music video begins with the different scenes of DeLuna dancing and the colorful backgrounds. The song is accompanied by her dance, The Whine Up.^[7] The video premiered on TRL on July 26, 2007 and has been on the countdown for 31 days, peaking at #2.
