"Move Ya Body" is the debut song by Puerto Rican musical duo Nina Sky. It was released on April 12, 2004, as the lead single from its self-titled debut album (2004). The song features guest vocals by American-Jamaican DJ Jabba. The song became the duo's only solo single to reach the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. The song was ranked at number 250 on BlenderTemplate:'s "500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born" and is well known for the use of the recurring ostinato on the bongos known as the "Coolie Dance" riddim. This has been the subject and musical motif of many musical samples.[3]

The song also contains lyrics from Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's song, "Can You Feel the Beat". The title of Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's song was repeated many times during the song.

Background

Record producer the Jettsonz introduced Nina Sky to Cipha Sounds, a hip hop DJ. Cipha Sounds was impressed when he heard the girls sing and suggested that they compose a song using the "Coolie Dance" riddim. The twins wrote "Move Ya Body" in response, and recorded a demo. The demo got them signed as Nina Sky to Next Plateau Entertainment and Universal Records. After writing "Move Ya Body", Nina Sky quickly wrote more songs to form their debut album Nina Sky, released in June 2004.[4]

Critical reception

The song was ranked the 29th best song of 2004 by Pitchfork.[5]

Commercial performance

The song was a huge hit and is one of only a few singles by the duo to chart (the others include "Turnin' Me On" and "Curtain Call"). "Move Ya Body" is their biggest hit, as it charted at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 22 on the 2004 Billboard Year-End Chart. It also reached number six on the UK Singles Chart. It was certified gold by both the RIAA and the BPI, and platinum by RMNZ.[6][7][8] It also reached the top ten in Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and the US Billboard Mainstream and Rhythmic Top 40 charts. The song earned the duo two nominations for International Dance Music Awards (Best Pop Dance Track and Best New Dance Artist (Group)) and one nomination for Soul Train Lady of Soul Award (Best R&B/Soul Single, Group, Band or Duo), all in 2005. They won one award for the song, Rapgra Award (Utwor R'n'B) in 2004.
