"Jump" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida, released by Atlantic Records and Poe Boy Entertainment on July 17, 2009 as the fourth single from his second album, R.O.O.T.S. (2009). It features a guest appearance from Canadian singer Nelly Furtado, who provides the song's hook. Production was handled by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, record executive Mike Caren, and Oliver "Oligee" Goldstein of the musical duo Oliver. Flo Rida, Furtado, Barker, Goldstein, and American singer Ester Dean each co-wrote the track.
"Jump" became Flo Rida's eighth consecutive Billboard Hot 100 entry — peaking at number 54. The song was used to promote the Disney film G-Force, and an edited version was added to Radio Disney's playlist. Flo Rida said: "I used a whole different delivery on this one. We're talking about different situations to get people hype in the club. 'Jump!' Whether you're an athlete running in the stadium or you're in the club. Get hype!"
