Blanco Brown may have already scored a top 20 hit earlier this year with his debut single, ‘The Git Up,’ but now he’s teaming with ‘Get Up’ singer Ciara to get the song back up to Billboard’s upper rankings.

Giving fans a new reason to 1,2 step, Cici takes it back to her Southern roots with the remix’s sassy verses:

“Let me see you two step, then one, two step/ Do the cowgirl boogie, both you hands like this/ Take it to the floor with a whole lotta drip/ Now show off your moves in your new outfit/ Get low…get low…get low then wind it up slow.”
