"Jump" is a 1992 song by the hip hop duo Kris Kross. It was released as a single in early 1992 from their album Totally Krossed Out. It achieved great success in many countries where it topped the charts, including Australia, Switzerland and the U.S.
Kris Kross's members were only 12 and 13 years old when they recorded their hit song. Written by Treach of Naughty By Nature, and produced by Jermaine Dupri, "Jump" was the fastest selling single in fifteen years and stayed on top of the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks. Kris Kross's debut album Totally Krossed Out, which features "Jump", sold over four million copies. It also reached number one in Australia and New Zealand, and number 2 in the United Kingdom, held off the top by KWS' cover song "Please Don't Go". This song kept En Vogue's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" from the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 which the song peaked at number 2.
The song samples The Honeydrippers' "Impeach The President", Ohio Players' "Funky Worm" and Jackson 5's "I Want You Back"; Kris Kross later toured Europe together with Michael Jackson. At the beginning of their song they dissed another kid group Another Bad Creation when Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly said "don't try to compare us to another bad little fad".[citation needed] The original song's introduction contained a sample of ABC's song "Playground" which was followed by a scratching sound giving the effect that their record was being taken off to play "Jump". This was soon removed due to copyright infringement.[citation needed]
It ranked number 75 on "VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 90's", and number two on their "Child Stars" Top 10 list.
