The song was listed at 232 on Pitchfork's Top 500 Songs of the 2000s and became a commercial success, reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaking within the top 10 in six other countries. Although widely rumored, the song does not feature the vocals of former group members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, as the voice is solely Beyoncé who sings the song.

Composition

The song is performed in the key of C♯ minor with a tempo of 89 beats per minute.[2] The song's chords alternate between C♯m and G♯, while the vocals span one and a half octaves, from D♯₃ to G♯₄.[3]

Chart performance

In the United Kingdom, "Jumpin', Jumpin'" was a top five hit and sold over 195,000 copies. It also achieved success when it charted at number two on the Australian Singles Chart. In the Netherlands, "Jumpin', Jumpin'" peaked at number 10 on the Mega Single Top 100 remaining in total 14 weeks on the charts. "Jumpin', Jumpin'" peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 for five nonconsecutive weeks beginning August 19, 2000, and became Destiny's Child fourth top-10 pop and R&B hit. The song peaked at number one on the Hot 100 Airplay for seven consecutive weeks becoming one of the biggest radio hits of 2000 and the group's second longest run atop the chart behind "Independent Women Part 1" which reigned for nine consecutive weeks. Though the song did not reach number one on the Hot 100, it spent 16 weeks in the top ten of the chart, longer than both the previous number one hits "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name" as well as any of the songs that prevented it from reaching the top of the Hot 100.

Following the success of "Jumpin', Jumpin'" The Writing's on the Wall was certified six-times platinum by the RIAA in September 2000. Worldwide the album had already sold a massive nine million copies, after just over a year on the charts.

Music video

The video starts at Destiny's Child's home, where the group members are preparing themselves for the night out. They get in a car, drive to their destination and compete with boys in a car race. In the club they sing and dance on stage. The camera moves as though it is jumping. It premiered on the BET music show All on June 19, 2000.[4] This was the final music video to feature Farrah Franklin. The original music video was never released to a video compilation nor to an enhanced CD, whereas the "So So Def Remix" is available on the video compilation The Platinum's on the Wall.

Formats and remixes

Two official urban remixes for this song exist. One, known as the Nitro remix features rapper Nitro, while the other is known as the So So Def Remix with Lil' Bow Wow, Da Brat, and Jermaine Dupri. A video was filmed for the So So Def Remix later.

The "Azza's Remix" of "Jumpin', Jumpin'" contains newly recorded vocals with slower singing, additional ad-libs by Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland doing lead on chorus and high notes during break. The vocals were recorded in a session with DJ Maurice Joshua, who used the vocals also for his dance remixes of the song. These two remixes are the only songs from The Writing's on the Wall that feature Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams. With the other one being the WNBA version that was made to promote the 2000 WNBA All-Star Game.[5]

In 2000, a rewritten and rerecorded version featuring Solange was created for the third volume of the Radio Disney Jams album series (released February 2001).

One specific production of "Jumpin', Jumpin'" (at the request of then Sony A&R, Darren Dixon) was unofficially promo released via FONKED, (remixed by O. D. Hunte) feat. DeMarvlest.[6]

Jamaican dancehall singer Ce'cile sampled "Jumpin', Jumpin'" in the song "Ladies Anthem".

British DJ S.K.T. sampled the chorus of "Jumpin', Jumpin'" in his 2019 song "Ballers".[7]
