Whip It! (song)


"Whip It!" is a single by American rapper LunchMoney Lewis featuring Chloe Angelides. It was released on August 7, 2015. The song contains samples from the 1980s song, "Let It Whip" by the Dazz Band.

Background

The song samples Dazz Band's "Let It Whip". Lunchmoney discussed the song's conception: "The ‘let it whip, child’… I grew up hearing that song so much at barbeques and pool parties growing up in Miami. It was a real uptempo disco song. When I heard the sample, it really drove me to it and I was thinking, ‘this is funky… I like it’. And I wrote some verses, played it to Dr. Luke and he really liked it. Then we got in Chloe Angelides; she’s an awesome songwriter with a crazy voice.. We worked on melody and got the hook right. And when it was done, we thought, ‘this is fun, let’s put it out and see what happens’ and that’s kind of how it all came together."

Music video

On August 19, 2015, the lyric video premiered on YouTube. The video features a bunch of women walking and skating around the city and the beach. Two other videos were posted to YouTube; an audio video, and an official music video. As of May 2017, the three videos have a combined 9 million views on YouTube.
On September 15, the music video premiered. It features LunchMoney in a suit performing the song on a 1970s variety show, with Angelides singing behind him and dancers on the stage.
