Song |
"Whine Up" is a song by Dominican-American pop/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 Kat herself provided the rap, rapping at a lower register. The song earned DeLuna a Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Dance Club Play Track Of The Year.[3] The title comes from the Jamaican English pronunciation of wind up maning to move one's hips on the dance floor. [4]
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..[4] Double up Dance Group earned a spot to be on the video and is believed to be Kat Deluna's full time back up dancers.
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.[5] The video premiered on TRL on July 26, 2007 and has been on the countdown for 31 days, peaking at #2.

The song was released to mainstream radio in the United States on May 15, 2007.[1] The song has debuted at number 24 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, equal to number 124 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its current peak position is number 29. The song has had over 323,516 legal downloads in the U.S. as of August 29, 2007.
