2003 single by Ludacris
"Stand Up" is a song by Ludacris, released as the second single from his fourth album, Chicken-n-Beer on August 19, 2003. It became his first song to peak atop the Billboard Hot 100—remaining on the chart for 28 weeks—on the week dated December 6 of that year. It contains a guest appearance from American rapper Shawnna, who provides a call and response dichotomy with Ludacris for the song's chorus. Production was handled by then-unknown Roc-A-Fella Records producer Kanye West, while co-production was helmed by Ludacris himself, both of whom wrote the song.
"Stand Up" topped the R&B/Hip-Hop singles for four weeks, and received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance. The song appeared in a commercial for the all-new 2019 Mercedes-Benz A Class Sedan that appeared during Super Bowl LIII on February 3, 2019. The commercial featured Ludacris himself performing the song at an opera, and also featured Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner and Free Willy.[1]
