"Jumpin', Jumpin'" is a song by American group Destiny's Child for their second studio album, The Writing's on the Wall (1999). The song was co-written and co-produced by group member Beyoncé Knowles and Chad Elliott, with additional writing from Rufus Moore and production assistance from Jovonn Alexander. It was released as the fourth and final single from The Writing's on the Wall on July 14, 2000, by Columbia Records.

"Jumpin', Jumpin'" became a commercial success, peaking at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and within the top ten in Australia, Canada, Iceland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Critically acclaimed, the song was ranked at number 232 on Pitchfork's "Top 500 Songs of the 2000s".[1]

Background

Producer Chad "Dr. Ceuss" Elliott received a phone call from Columbia Records A&R Teresa LaBarbera Whites, who wanted him to meet "this great group in Houston" prior to the release of their debut album. He flew to Houston and met for dinner with the group (Destiny's Child) and their manager Mathew Knowles, but was unable to send any productions in time for their album. Elliott, alongside co-writer Rufus Moore and co-producer Jovonn Alexander, subsequently sent a disc of written tracks for potential inclusion on their second album. Elliott was compiling beats for his own rap project at the time, and accidentally sent one of his beats (with no lyrics attached) on the same disc. Beyoncé heard the song, began writing to it, and Mathew Knowles sent a rough draft to Elliott, who was impressed with the melodic, syncopated-rap delivery, and the "democratic" message addressed to both men and women. The completed product would secure a placement on blockbuster album The Writing's on the Wall alongside another co-written Elliott song ("If You Leave"), and would ultimately become Elliott's highest-peaking and highest-selling song in multiple global markets, as well as the first song that Beyoncé received a co-production credit. [2]

Composition

Musically, "Jumpin', Jumpin'" is an up-beat pop and R&B styled dance track with influences of melodic rap.[3][4] During the duration of the record, Knowles sings in rap-like style, something she is notable for doing in Destiny's Child as well later on in her solo career.[3][5][6] It is performed in the key of C♯ minor with a tempo of 89 beats per minute.[7] Meanwhile, the song's chords alternate between C♯m and G♯, while the vocals span one and a half octaves, from D♯3 to G♯4.[8]

Commercial performance

"Jumpin', Jumpin'" peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 on August 19, 2000, becoming Destiny's Child's fourth top-ten hit, and remained at the position for five non-consecutive weeks. The song peaked at number one on the Hot 100 Airplay for seven consecutive weeks, becoming one of the biggest radio hits of 2000 and the group's second longest run atop the chart behind "Independent Women Part I", which reigned for nine consecutive weeks. Though the song did not reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, it spent 16 weeks within the top ten, longer than both previous number-one hits "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name", as well as any of the songs that prevented it from reaching the top of the chart.

In the United Kingdom, "Jumpin', Jumpin'" was a top-five hit and sold over 195,000 copies. It also achieved success when it charted at number two in Australia. In the Netherlands, "Jumpin', Jumpin'" peaked at number ten on the Dutch Single Top 100, spending a total of 14 weeks on the chart.

Music video

The video for "Jumpin', Jumpin'" was directed by Joseph Kahn, who previously worked with the group on the video for "Say My Name".[9]

The video starts with a timelapse of a city to from day to night while cutting into close-up shots of the group members putting on lipstick and nail-polish. Destiny's Child are at home, getting prepared and dressed up for a night out at the club. Kelly Rowland is seen sitting on a couch while Farrah Franklin is seen getting her dress zipped up by Michelle Williams. There's also scenes of guys getting ready to go to the club, with one being a first-person view of someone shaving their face. Throughout the video, the camera moves in a shaky manner, like if it was jumping. After the first chorus, the group get into a car with Beyoncé behind the wheel and drive to their destination. They pass a group of guys in a car, who pull a u-turn and follow them until they meet them at a red-light. They challenge them to a car race in which Destiny's Child ultimately win. They arrive at the club during the "bounce" interlude and perform choreography with the camera moving as the song lyrics say. During this part, there's also a fisheye lens effect where Beyoncé is seen getting down close to. The video ends with the group dancing with other people on the dance floor.

It premiered on music video stations such as BET, MTV, and VH1 on the week ending June 12, 2000.[10] A video for the So So Def remix began airing on BET on the week ending on July 17, 2000.[11] This was the final music video to feature Farrah Franklin. The original music video is available on the video compilation Video Anthology, while the "So So Def Remix" is available on the video compilation The Platinum's on the Wall.

Remixes

Two official urban remixes for this song exist. The Nitro remix features rapper Mr. Nitro and the So So Def remix features Lil' Bow Wow, Da Brat, and Jermaine Dupri; a music video was filmed for the latter.

The "Azza's Remix" of "Jumpin', Jumpin'" contains newly recorded vocals. Along with the WNBA version that was made to promote the 2000 WNBA All-Star Game, these versions are the only songs from The Writing's on the Wall that feature Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams.[12]
