"Leave (Get Out)" is a song by American singer JoJo from her self-titled debut album, JoJo. It was released as the album's lead single on February 24, 2004. Produced by Danish production duo Soulshock & Karlin, it became an international hit, reaching number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and on the European Hot 100 Singles. It also became a top five hit in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 25, 2004. JoJo has expressed her displeasure with the song, and most of her self-titled album, for its overall pop sound however she is grateful it put her on the musical map. When she would perform the song at her most recent concerts, she would arrange it to the point of being almost unrecognizable, adding jazzier instrumentation to the verses and heavier guitars or double bass drumming to the bridge.[1]

When the single reached number one on Billboard's Pop Songs chart, JoJo became, at age 13, the youngest solo artist to have a number-one single in the United States.

The song appears in the 2004 PlayStation 2 karaoke game Karaoke Revolution Volume 3.

[edit] Reception

The song received generally positive reviews for JoJo's vocal performance, but critics noted the maturity in the lyrics to be much above that of a 13-year-old, her age when she recorded the track.

[edit] Chart performance

"Leave (Get Out)" peaked at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 giving JoJo her first top 20 hit, the song failed to break the top 10 despite heavy rotation on the radio and good single sales.

[edit] Music video

The music video, directed by Erik White, takes place in a high school. JoJo is seen with friends and dancing with cheerleading girls. The video was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, which made JoJo become the youngest MTV Video Music Award nominee. The video also retired on MTV's Total Request Live after spending 50 days on the countdown, including two days at #1, making her the youngest artist to both have a video retired and reach the summit of the chart.
