"Ride It" is the first single from Jay Sean's second album My Own Way and is also featured on his US debut album All or Nothing. It was written by Jay Sean himself and Alan Sampson, and produced by the latter. It was released on 21 January 2008. The song reached the top 20 in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 11. The single was also very successful and one of the most played songs in Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, Bulgaria and Romania, where it became one of the top three best-selling singles of the year. A Hindi version of the song was also included in the Indian release of the album My Own Way.

In 2019, a reworked version by Kosovo-Albanian DJ Regard was officially released and became a viral hit on the TikTok app.[1] It reached number one in Ireland,[2] number two on the UK Singles Chart[3] and also peaked at number three in Australia.[4]
