"Up'N Away" is a 1994 song by German Eurodance group Mr. President, released in 1994. This was the last single to receive participation from rapper George "Sir Prophet" Jones, as Delroy "Layzee Dee" Rennalls replaced him soon after the release. It was the first song ever that received a golden record without charting in the German Top Ten.[1] To avoid confusion after Jones left the group, the song was rerecorded for the "Up'N Away" album, with Rennalls providing the lead vocals as he did for the rest of the album's songs. In the year 2000, the song was again remixed and released under the title "Up'N Away 2K" featuring the vocals of Delroy Rennalls, but the remix failed to chart. In 2014, the song was sampled by German dance act ItaloBrothers on the song "Up 'N Away".[2]
