"Whine Up" is the debut single by American singer Kat DeLuna, released from her debut album, 9 Lives. The song features Elephant Man. It was believed that Puerto Rican rapper Ivy Queen was featured, but DeLuna herself provided the rap.[1] The song earned DeLuna a Billboard Latin Music Award for "Latin Dance Club Play Track Of The Year."[2] The title comes from the Caribbean English (West Indian) pronunciation of wind up meaning to move one's hips on the dance floor.[citation needed] The song became a top 10 hit in France and Romania.
