Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole’s Give it Up to Me returns to the charts after 20 years

Twenty years after it was first released, Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole’s #3 Billboard Hot 100 hit When You Gonna (Give it Up to Me) has re-entered multiple charts around the world.

Driven by a TikTok dance craze, the song has found a new lease on life while connecting with a new generation of music lovers.

Since the start of 2026, the track has gained significant momentum across streaming platforms, fueled largely by TikTok discovery. The song has generated over 40 million new streams worldwide since January 1, signalling a powerful resurgence driven by a new generation of listeners alongside longtime fans

On TikTok, the record has circulated widely through content referencing Avatar: Fire and Ash, as well as 2000s-era nostalgia edits pairing the song with throwback visuals, film clips, and pop-culture moments from the era. Since January, the sound has been used in more than 1.5 million user-created videos, amassing over 1.3 billion cumulative views.

Recent weekly data shows sustained engagement rather than a single viral spike, with activity peaking at 480,000 creations and 548 million views in recent periods.

This renewed cultural traction has been translated directly to chart performance.

As of February 4, the song sits at Number 114 on Spotify’s Global Top 200 Weekly, with notable territory placements including Number 16 in Germany, Number 66 in the United Kingdom, and Number 131 in France.

The most active markets currently include the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, and France.

Originally released in 2006 via Atlantic Records and VP Records, the song appeared on the Step-Up movie soundtrack and was the fourth single from Sean Paul’s The Trinity album. The track peaked at # 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #17 in Australia, #30 in Austria, #14 in Belgium and made the Top ten in Canada, Finland, Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, and on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay, Rap Singles and R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

Currently, the song has charted at #53 on the UK Singles chart (it peaked at #31 in 2006), #26 in Austria, #12 in Greece, #130 on Billboard’s Global 200 chart, #71 in Ireland, #17 in Lithuania, #52 in Norway, #39 in Poland, #6 in Romania and #46 in Sweden.
