"Wanna Get Up" is a song recorded by Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited.

Release and reception

"Wanna Get Up" was released as the debut single from the band to feature Romy van Oojen and Marjon van Iwaarden as the lead vocalists. It was the first single to be taken from 2 Unlimited's fourth studio album II.^[1]

The release scored chart success in some European countries, most notably peaking at #7 in Belgium. "Wanna Get Up" was the only single with the new vocalists to ever chart in the UK where it debuted at a lowly #38.

The single was originally promoted as a white label with just a II sticker on it.^[2] BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules liked the track so much that he played it for four weeks in a row on his show. When he found out that it was a 2 Unlimited single, he no longer supported the track.

The single came in two versions: the original pop version, which was markedly different from the band's previous eurodance sound; and a remix by German DJ Sash!. It was the Sash! version that was promoted as the main single in the UK.
