"Stand Up" was a 2003 hit single for Ludacris featuring Shawnna, taken from his fourth album Chicken & Beer. It was Ludacris' first #1 single. It was produced by Kanye West.

The chorus consists of three repetitions of Ludacris rapping "When I move you move!" and Shawnna responding "Just like that?". After three repetitions, Ludacris says "Hell yeah! Hey, DJ, bring that back!" Then Shawnna says "When I move you move!" and Ludacris says "Just like that?" and they trade parts of the chorus.

Kanye West has stated that he wrote the first two lines of Ludacris' first verse (How you ain't gon' FUCK! Bitch I'm me! I'm the GOD DAMN reason you in VIP).

A remix version was also recorded, in which Ludacris' third verse was removed and replaced with a verse from Kanye West. The remix appeared on the Akademiks: JeaniusLevelMusikKanye West Vol. 2 mixtape.

It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 6, 2003.

A music video was made for the song, directed by Dave Meyers. Film critic Armond White called the video a "masterpiece" that "conveys the urge of life." According to the "Stand Up" track commentary, Ludacris set that part of the music video was shot at the same place where one of the scene in the movie Blade was shot.

Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered the song as a Lounge style version on his 2004 album "I'd Like a Virgin".

Ludacris also made a remix of the song for the Atlanta Falcons.
