Level Up by Ciara

"Level Up" is a song by American singer-songwriter Ciara released on July 18, 2018 by Beauty Marks Entertainment, as part of a new recording deal with Warner Bros. Records. Influenced by the Jersey club variety of electronic dance music, the song was written by Ciara, J.R. Rotem, Theron Thomas, Telly Brown, Jr. and Theron Feemster, with production by J.R. Rotem and Nas Luke. It also sample's DJ Telly Tellz's 2017 viral hit "Fuck It Up Challenge". It arrived alongside a high octane music video directed, choreographed and featuring New Zealand dancer Parris Goebel, who appears alongside fellow New Zealanders ReQuest Dance Crew. Reception to the music video was positive, with "Level Up" becoming the number one trending video on YouTube and spawning the Level Up Challenge, featuring fans and celebrities recording their own version of the video's choreography. The official remix for "Level Up" was released a week later featuring additional vocals from Missy Elliott and Fatman Scoop. Chartwise, "Level Up" peaked within the upper half of the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in the United States, top forty in Hungary and top sixty on the US Billboard Hot 100.
