Pump It Up may refer to:
Pump It Up (Hangul: 펌프 잇 업; RR: Peompeu it eop), commonly abbreviated as PIU or shortened to just Pump, is a music video game series developed by Nexcade and published by Andamiro, a Korean arcade game producer. The game is typically played on a dance pad with five arrow panels: up-left, up-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, and a center panel. Additional gameplay modes may utilize two five-panel pads side-by-side. These panels are pressed using the player's feet, in response to arrows that appear on the screen in front of the player. The arrows are synchronized to the general rhythm or beat of a chosen song, and success is dependent on the player's ability to time and position his or her steps accordingly.
The original version of the game was originally released in South Korea in August 1999. The game has also been released in other markets, such as North America and South America and in Europe. There are two current releases in the series. Pump It Up Fiesta 2 is the international version, and Pump It Up Infinity is an exclusive release to the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Pump it Up has tried to cater more to Freestyle players than "technical" players with more freestyle-friendly charts, as a result the game has more of a culture in the freestyle and Breakdancing disciplines. However, the game still caters well to technical players with a vast array of high difficulty songs and stepcharts.
"Pump It Up" is a 1978 song by Elvis Costello. It originally appeared on Costello's second album This Year's Model, which was the first he recorded with the backing group the Attractions.
AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described "Pump It Up" as being "underscored with sexual menace". Costello frequently uses double entendres in his songs, and "Pump It Up" is a good example of this, with the phrase "pump it up" being used to refer both to turning up the volume on the music and to masturbation. The story in the song is about the narrator's sexual frustration at the hands of a femme fatale who's described in the lyrics as being "a bad girl" and "like a narcotic".
"Pump It Up" was written in reaction to the excesses of the Stiffs Live Tour.
The video features the band performing in an unfurnished, light-drenched, wholly white set, and uses simple split-screen quadrant image effects. It was directed by Paul Flattery for Jon Roseman Productions. Costello's leg movements become increasing disjointed.
Originality is the quality of novelty or newness in created works.

If this is true, I thought then, what will I think
Will I stay but rather I would get away
I'm scared that I won't find a thing
And afraid that I'll turn out to be alone, but I
I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
Have to see, have to know that I can be myself
And if I could I would stay
And if they're not, not in my way
I'll stare here in the distance
But I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I see it all I'm sure but
Do I know what's right
I thought I knew but it turns out the other way
I am scared that I won't find a thing
And afraid that I'll turn out to be alone, but I
I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
I have to see, have to know that I can be myself
And if I could I would stay
And if they're not, not in my way
I'll stare here in the distance
But I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I'll grow up to be just like you
I want to tell you
Why would I try to
You are all that I can see now
Why would I try to
And I want to tell you
Why would I try to
You are all I can see now
I know I'll try to
I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
I have to see, have to know that I can be myself
But if I could, yeah, I would stay
And if they're not, not in my way
I'll stare here in the distance
But I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I'll grow up to be just like you, like you
