The first single of the Belgian DJ Johan was a total failure, reaching the Number 69 in the UK Dance Chart. The single was not promoted outside the UK and Ireland, where it peaked at Number 85.
"Pump It Up!" is the second single from the Belgian DJ Johan, remixing a late 1990s hit originally recorded by the Black & White Brothers.
