History
Music observers called the song a kind of “sequel” to the hit “ Old Town Road ” by Lil Nas X and “the next viral country rap song” [4] [1] . Brown photographed his style of a new dance, which later became a meme and viral, and was later used in his music video [4] . Brown described the original version of the track as similar to “ Achy Breaky Heart ”, which influenced the dance element [5] . The release of a similar “ Old Town Road ” had a direct impact on the release of the song “The Git Up”, as it initially “had to look like a passing track, like a filler” for his EP mini-album. However, when he found out about “Old Town Road”, he called the vice president of his label and said that they needed to release a song [5] .
The musician himself says that he dedicated his song to his grandmother, who told him every morning, "Get up, do something useful in this world." Earlier, 34-year-old Brown (originally from Atlanta) produced pop and hip hop artists, including such as Chris Brown , Fergie and Pitbull and this is his first experience in the country rap genre [6]
On July 13, 2019, the song topped the Hot Country Songs country chart , becoming Brown's 1st charter for it. It happened on the fifth week of staying on the chart. The single also topped the charts of Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales [7] [3] [8] .
Music video
On May 2, 2019, official music audio was uploaded to Brown’s YouTube account [9] . Separately, in May and June 2019, the musician uploaded several videos for teaching his dance elements [10] [11] .
