Multi-award-winning dancehall icon Sean Paul and Grammy-nominated R&B singer Keyshia Cole are seeing their 2006 collaboration “(When You Gonna) Give It Up to Me” reach a new milestone nearly two decades after its original release. This week, the record climbs to No. 30 on the UK Official Singles Chart with 12,578 sales, marking a new all-time chart peak in the territory.

The renewed chart success follows a sustained global resurgence that has accelerated throughout 2026. Since January 1, the track has generated more than 120 million new streams worldwide, reflecting renewed engagement from both longtime fans and younger listeners encountering the record through short-form video platforms.

On TikTok, the song continues to circulate widely across dance challenges, nostalgic edits, and pop-culture clips. Since the start of the year, the sound has been used in over 4 million user-created videos, collectively generating more than 5.1 billion cumulative views. The track’s resurgence has been fueled by choreography trends, Avatar-inspired edits, anime clips, and throwback visual compilations celebrating mid-2000s pop culture.

Originally released in 2006 via Atlantic Records and VP Records, the record appeared on the soundtrack to the film Step Up and became one of the defining singles of Sean Paul’s The Trinity era. The track peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and charted widely across Europe and North America during its initial run.

The song’s return to the UK Top 30 underscores the growing impact of nostalgia-driven rediscovery across digital platforms, where catalog hits from the mid-2000s are finding new audiences and renewed commercial momentum years after their original release.
