About Jump

"Jump" is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna for her seventh studio album, Unapologetic (2012). It was written by Kevin Cossom, M. B. Williams, StarGate and Chase & Status, with production done by the latter two and Kuk Harrell. It samples the lyrics of the 1996 single "Pony", performed by Ginuwine. Its composition and structure received comparisons to not only Justin Timberlake's song "Cry Me a River" and Magnetic Man's "I Need Air", but also to some of Rihanna's previous songs, 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. "Jump" was serviced to Australian radio on January 24, 2014 as the album's fifth Australian single and seventh overall. The song received generally 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". 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 song choice, commented that songs like "Jump" are responsible for simply furthering her career in the music industry. Following the release of Unapologetic, "Jump" debuted on the French Singles Chart at number 153 and the UK Singles Chart at number 150 due to strong digital download sales.

Tell me that you love me when you know you don't love
But I guess I guess I guess is all good
You can play the game, I'mma still do my thang
Ain't no better way for it to be put
When you f*ck 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 ain't runnin' 'round kissing no dude
Think somebody else like me gon' come around
Boy you got it misunderstood
Put it in your face but you wreckin' us yet
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

You say it's my fault, OK 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 could have had 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
