"UP! (Beat The Pussy Up)" is the debut single by American hip hop recording artist LoveRance. The song originally featured guest vocals from rappers Iamsu! and Skipper; however, once being re-issued by Interscope Records, the label's executive Larry Jackson placed 50 Cent on the song's commercial remix to replace both rappers.

The song was produced by Iamsu!, who also performs the hook on both versions, the latter of which uncredited.[1] According to Iamsu! himself, the song was originally his, but due to its explicit lyrics and his mother being a teacher, it was instead given to LoveRance as a lead artist.[2][3]

The artwork for the single's cover is inspired by the promotional artwork from the 1993 film Poetic Justice.
