[Chorus]
Get up, stand up
Throw your hands up high
Get up, stand up
We'll set it off tonight
Get up, stand up
Throw your hands up high
Get up, stand up
We'll set it off tonight

[Verse 1]
Wake up everybody, get up out of your seat
No more holdin' back now, are you feelin' this heat?
So tell the DJ turn it up until you're satisfied
And if they try to shut us down it's gonna be a fight

[Chorus]
Get up, stand up
Throw your hands up high
Get up, stand up
We'll set it off tonight
Get up, stand up
Throw your hands up high
Get up, stand up
We'll set it off tonight

[Verse 2]
Wake up all you playas, spend your money tonight
Ladies are you with me? Are you feelin' this vibe?
The party can't get started 'til you get on the floor
So check your wiggles at the door, tell me what you waitin' for?

A true pop icon, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty is a singer, actress, and businesswoman from Saint Michael, Barbados. She was first discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers in 2003 and later signed a contract to Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after auditioning for its then-president, JAY-Z.

The following year, in 2005, she released her debut album Music of the Sun and its follow-up, A Girl Like Me, in 2006. Both albums did well commercially, but it wasn’t until the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007 that poised Rihanna as an international pop star. It became her first album to receive a Grammy nomination (seven to be exact) and features one of her biggest hits, “Umbrella.”

Moving onto 2009, Rihanna released her fourth studio album, Rated R. It featured a darker and more atmospheric tone from her previous albums. She released her fifth studio album, Loud, the next year in 2010. It marked her return to making dance-pop records. That summer, she featured on Eminem’s smash hit, “Love the Way You Lie” and is one of her most popular features of all time.
