The video for "Jam (Turn It Up)" was filmed in January 2011 by director Hype Williams but never released. The video also featured a special appearance by Kanye West.[4] Some behind-the-scenes archive footage from the video were shown in ads for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Season 6. According to Kim's sister, Khloé Kardashian It [the video] was never meant to be played publicly." She continues, "I've seen it. It's to die for. Her body is banging, baby. [...] The song was for charity; it wasn't for her to have a recording deal. [It was] something she just wanted to be for herself and for fun, so the video she made just for herself, so back off guys".[5]
The song received negative reception from critics and the public. Jim Farber, writing for the Daily News, called the song a "dead-brained piece of generic dance music, without a single distinguishing feature," and suggested that the single made Kardashian the "worst singer in the reality TV universe."[6]
