"Move Your Feet" is a song by Danish pop duo Junior Senior from their debut studio album, D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat (2002). The song, originally released in June 2002 in the duo's native Denmark, was issued worldwide in 2003 and became Junior Senior's biggest hit, reaching No. 4 in Denmark, No. 3 in the United Kingdom, and No. 20 in Australia. A music video for the song, directed by British art collective Shynola, was created using low-resolution pixel art. The song was sampled in Nicki Minaj's 2023 song "Everybody".[2]

Chart performance

The song proved to be successful in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart for two non-consecutive weeks,[3] going on to become Britain's 16th-best-selling single of 2003.[4] It reached number four on the Danish Singles Chart and number 10 in Ireland.[5][6] It was a moderate hit in Australia, peaking at number 20.[7] In 2013, the song re-entered the French Singles Chart at number 11.[8]

Music video

This song was accompanied by an animated music video by British art collective Shynola,[9] using low-resolution (90×72) pixel art produced using Deluxe Paint. The video features animated characters of the members of Junior Senior, dancing figures, and personified inanimate objects.[10]
