"Wobble Up" is a bounce track, and its production samples “Monkey on the D$ck” (1996), originally produced by Mannie Fresh and performed by Cash Money Records’ artist Magnolia Shorty. “Wobble Up” was released on April 18, 2019, as the third single from Brown's ninth studio album Indigo.^[1]

Background and composition

The song was written by its performers, and produced by J.R. Rotem. "Wobble Up" contains a sample of "Monkey on tha D$ck" (1997) by the late Cash Money rap artist Magnolia Shorty, for which its composers are credited as writers. The song marks Chris Brown's seventh collaboration with Nicki Minaj and third with G-Eazy, and the first between Minaj and G-Eazy.^[2]

"Wobble Up" is a bounce track about twerking.^[3] HotNewHipHop described its lyrical content as "hedonistic fun" and "x-rated".^[2] Brown performs the song's chorus and its first and last verse, Nicki Minaj raps the second verse with an up-tempo flow,^[2] while G-Eazy raps the third verse with lyrics about buying women several material gifts.^[4]

Music video

Chris Brown released the music video for "Wobble Up" on May 20, 2019. American rapper Tyga and internet celebrity Dan Rue make cameos in the video.^[5]^[6] The video was directed by Brown and Arrad Rahgoshay. One day following its release, the team behind the video was accused by German artist Marius Sperlich for stealing and copying his artworks.^[7]^[8]

Billboard and Rap-Up praised the dancing in the video,^[9]^[10] while Complex commended its "computer-generated tropical backdrops" and the visuals' "vibrant color contrast".^[11]
