Wedding DJ - Cupid Shuffle played by DJ Ike @complete_MVP #shorts

Details

Description

A dancefloor staple that has been played at countless functions since its release on February 13, 2007, “Cupid Shuffle” is an instantly recognizable slice of pop-rap which turned into Cupid’s biggest hit. The song was released as the third single from Cupid’s third studio album Time For a Change and is a genre blend of hip-hop, pop, and even dance music, although Cupid didn’t intend for the track to have any genre at all. In an interview with NewsOne, the singer discussed the song’s origins:

I was a 19-year-old Blues singer touring with the SOS Band and Lenny Williams when I recorded the song. Everywhere we would go, before we’d start the show, we’d get the crowd going with a line dance. I saw how the crowd was reacting and I wanted to create a modern-day line dance. I came up with the dance in the studio as I was making up the song.

“Cupid Shuffle” became very successful, peaking at #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was eventually certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA on October 13, 2016. Much of the song’s success can be traced to the instructional dance that is found in the refrain.

After the song became a smash hit and its YouTube music video racked up millions of views, Cupid landed a deal with Atlantic Records. Cupid himself believes there is a timeless spirit to the song:

…these songs help to liven up the party and, in this day and age when people don’t like to dance, it works to get them on the floor.
