"Jump" is a song recorded by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna for her seventh studio album, Unapologetic (2012). It was written by Rihanna, Kevin Cossum, M. B. Williams, StarGate and Chase & Status, with production done by the latter two and Kuk Harrell. It is a dubstep song which interpolates the lyrics of "Pony" (1996), a song performed by Ginuwine. Its composition and structure received comparisons to not only Justin Timberlake's song "Cry Me a River" and "I Need Air", but also to some of Rihanna's previous songs in her catalog, including "Rude Boy" and "Red Lipstick". A remix of the song called "Jump (Club Cheval Rap Remix)" by rapper Theophilus London was leaked onto the internet.

The song garnered mostly positive reviews from music critics. Many reviewers thought that "Jump" stood out as one of a couple of highlights on Unapologetic, while a few others singled it out as the sole highlight. However, it prompted a mixed reaction from James Montgomery for MTV, who thought that the dubstep bass line produced a "mixed result" and from Genevieve Koski for The A.V. Club, who wrote that the track should not have been included on the album as it is a poor choice, and commented that it is songs like "Jump" are responsible for furthering her career in the music industry. It was performed on Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour. Upon the release of Unapologetic, the song debuted on the lower region of the French Singles Chart and UK Singles Chart due to strong digital download sales, at numbers 153 and 150, respectively.

Lyrics[]

Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump...

Tell me that you love me when you know you don't love me
But I guess I guess I guess it's all good
You can play the game, imma still do my thing
Ain't no better way for it to be put

When you fuck them other girls I bet they be wondering
Why you always call my name
You think I'm gonna wait around
I ain't got all day

You don't need another lover
Don't you let it go
I already got it covered,
Let the others know

If you want it let's do it
Ride it, my pony,
My saddle is waitin',
Come and, jump on it

If you want it let's do it
Ride it, my pony,
My saddle is waitin',
Come and, jump on it

Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump...

Think I give a damn, boy don't you know who I am?
I don't run around chasing no dude
If somebody else like me gon' come around
Boy you got it misunderstood

Put it in your face but your actin' all scared
Like you can't recognize a good thing
Now that you got a chance
Tell me what it's gon' be?

You don't need another lover
Don't you let it go
I already got it covered,
Let the others know

If you want it let's do it
Ride it, my pony,
My saddle is waitin',
Come and, jump on it

If you want it let's do it
Ride it, my pony,
My saddle is waitin',
Come and, jump on it

Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump...

You say it's my fault, okay I get it
You ain't pick up your calls, I'm like forget it
See you put up your wall, you know you did it,
The rise and the fall, just admit it

You say it's my fault, okay I get it
You ain't answer your calls, I'm like forget it
It's the the rise and the fall
It's the the rise and the fall
And you're good at it all

If you want it let's do it
Ride it, my pony,
My saddle is waitin',
Come and, jump on it

If you want it let's do it
Ride it, my pony,
My saddle is waitin',
Come and, jump on it

Jump, jump, jump on it
Jump, jump, jump on it
Jump, jump, jump on it
Jump on it, jump-jump on it

Jump, jump, jump on it
Jump, jump, jump on it
Jump, jump, jump on it
Jump on it, jump-jump on it
