Word Up! Lyrics


W-o-r-d we're coming up
K-k-k-k-keep it keep it coming up
So do your dance do your dance do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby tell me what's the word
OW!
Woo!
Ah-hey!
Word Up!
C'mon, c'mon! Woo!

Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mama, too
'Cause we're about to throw down
And you know just what to do

Wave your hands in the air
Like you don't care
Glide by the people
As they start to look and stare
Do your dance
Do your dance
Do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby tell me what's the word

Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

All you sucker DJs
Who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason
And we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs
And act real cool (you ain't cool!)
But you've got to realize
That you're acting like fools

Give us music
We can use it
We need to dance
We don't have the time
For psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me, mama
Come on, baby
Tell me what's the word

Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up (Everybody say)
W-O-R-D up

W-O-R-D we're coming up
Dial "L" for low
K-k-k-keep it keep it coming up
So do your dance do your dance do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby tell me what's the word
Word up
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Word up
Word up
Hey, hey

Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway, get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard, yeah

Word Up!
  • This track is a cover of Cameo's 1986 hit of the same name and was first played on Nick Grimshaw's BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show on January 21, 2014. The single was released to UK stores on March 16, 2014.
  • The song was recorded in aid of Sport Relief, a biannual UK charity event that brings together celebrities from the sport and entertainment worlds to raise money to benefit vulnerable people. "We've all seen people push themselves and do incredible things for Sport Relief, so it's a dream come true to be releasing the official single this year," said Little Mix's Perrie.
  • Here's a list of the previous Sport Relief singles with their UK chart placings:

    2002 "Your Song" by Elton John with opera singer Alessandro Safina (#4).
    2004 "Some Girls" by Rachel Stevens (#2).
    2006 "Don't Stop Me Now"/"Please, Please" by McFly (#1).
    2008 "Footprints In The Sand" by Leona Lewis (#2).
    2010 "Morning Sun" by Robbie Williams (#45).
    2012 "Proud" by JLS (#6).
  • The song's music video finds Little Mix exercising with a number of famous faces, including Spice Girls star Mel "Sporty Spice" C, TV personality and choreographer Louis Spence, comic actor Chris Barrie (Red Dwarf, The Brittas Empire) and Olympic gymnast Louis Smith.

    Mel C's appearance on set was a surprise for the foursome. "We didn't even know she was going to be there. Literally, we were filming and then she come running out," Little Mix's Jesi told MTV News. "It was so weird though, I was thinking, God, I was such a massive fan."
