Background īrown described the initial version of the track as similar to ' Achy Breaky Heart' (which Billy Ray Cyrus featured in the remix of ' Old Town Road'), influencing the dance element as he felt 'You couldn't take the song serious, but then you can't make the song a joke either, because it was a smash.' The release of the similar 'Old Town Road' had a direct effect on the release of the song, as initially it 'was supposed to be like a filler' from his EP. A remix featuring singer Ciara was released on December 23, 2019, containing an altered, 'booming' beat. 'The Git Up' serves as the lead single from Brown's debut album Honeysuckle & Lightning Bugs. It debuted at number 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 14. Brown filmed himself performing a line dance to the song, which became a meme and was later used in its music video. It has been described as the 'sequel' to Lil Nas X's ' Old Town Road' and the 'next viral country rap song'. ' The Git Up' is a song by American artist Blanco Brown, released as his debut single on May 3, 2019. That was not sooo bad that wa- that was not so bad was it / That was not sooo bad that wa- that was not so bad was it / That was not sooo bad that wa- that was not so bad was it / That was not sooo bad that wa- that was not so bad was it.From the album Honeysuckle & Lightning Bugs To the left / Take it down now, take it take it down now / Take it down now, take it take it down now / To the right / Bring it up now, bring it bring it up now / Bring it up now, bring it bring it up now / To the front / Take it down and crisscross / Bring it up now crisscross / To the back / Do whatever you like right here, just have fun. Slide to the left, slide to the right / Now cool down, have a good time / Slide to the left, slide to the right / Do the butterfly and have a good time / Round, round, round and round you go / It's time to show out right now and take to the floor To the left to the left now / To the right to the right / Now take your left hand and put it on your side / Gone roll your shoulders / Do the slip and slide / This next part's my favorite part 'cause its time to shine.

What a weird, entertaining world we're living in right now.ĭid You Know?: In May Brown released a self-titled EP. The argument about what is and what isn't country seems to be happening in two very different venues (on the radio and on streaming platforms), something that may fracture and grow the format simultaneously.

'The Git Up' is just beginning its journey, but the views on YouTube are astonishing given the low profile by comparison.

That's a major 'if.' Thus far radio has resisted 'Old Town Road,' but it remains the No. There's no doubt the song will endure as well as 'Cha Cha Slide,' even if it never breaks the radio airplay barrier. Repetition with each chorus and through the final verses turns up the volume on his unexpectedly delightful, sure-fire honkytonk hit. Seriously, if you can't enjoy this song you probably don't get invited to very many parties. In falling for his song, you fall for him. No, Brown's not rivaling 'Gentle on My Mind' with his dance tutorial, but his rhymes and rhythms are graceful and elegant and his delivery is warm and inviting.

A fair argument (if you enjoy these types of things) could be made for Lil Nas X's song as being the 'more country' of the two - especially with Cyrus on board - but it doesn't really matter. 13 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (up 25 spots after one week) while 'Old Town Road' was banished early, a decision that grows more baffling with each passing day. Differences are found in industry reception.
