Trivia

Michael Phelps listens to "Party Up" before his races, particularly his first world record and before he made the US Olympic Team. [http://www.usolympicteam.com/26_817.htm US Olympic Team, Phelps Biography]

The video for "Party Up" was filmed in Galveston, Texas at what is presently the Frost Bank building.

The song appears on the soundtrack of the movie "Gone In 60 Seconds" (2000); it plays on the car radio of a stolen Humvee trying to evade the police.

The song is also featured in "How High", a film starring Redman and Method Man, and the movies "Like Mike", "King's Ransom", Hardball and "First Sunday".

The song also appeared in an episode of the television show "Malcolm in the Middle".

After the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship in 2000, in the locker-room, they were singing the song.

The song takes shots at rapper Kurupt, for dissing him on "Callin Out Names" over DMX having an affair with Foxy Brown, Kurupt's once fiance.
