It officially premiered on Radio Disney on August 17, 2006. The single became available for download on iTunes on August 31, 2006. The song was written and produced by Matthew Gerard and Robbie Nevil.
This song is one of the tracks that features Raven-Symoné on lead. Symoné has two verses, one of them is a rap verse. Main adlibs by Adrienne Bailon and additional adlibs by Symoné. Both Sabrina Bryan and Kiely Williams sings the title on the chorus.[3] Since Symoné did not participate on the girls' touring activities, Bryan took Symoné's rap verse. Williams then sings the main parts of the song with Bailon. Main adlibs and Symoné's are sung by Bailon.[4]
The video for the song features the performance of "Step Up" in the movie and clips of the movie are intercut throughout the video.[3] A clip of the video was shown on Live with Regis and Kelly two weeks prior to the actual premiere date of August 17, 2006 on Disney Channel.

Step Up is the first compilation album from the Australian indie pop band Angelas Dish, released through Boomtown Records Shock Distribution on 24 January 2009.
In January 2009 it was announced that Angelas Dish's former record label, Boomtown Records, would be releasing the retrospective CD including the band's older material. The album features 18 tracks, incorporating the three out of print releases from before their debut album, the Lie Die, My Body Is An Ashtray and self-titled EPs, along with two previously unreleased tracks.
"Step Up" is a single by metal band Drowning Pool. It was originally released on The Punisher: The Album in March 2004 and appeared in the film's end credits. It was included on Drowning Pool's second studio album, Desensitized, the following month. This served as the band's first single with new frontman Jason "Gong" Jones and introduced him to many fans.
A music video was produced for "Step Up" which largely focuses on the band living a luxurious lifestyle at a mansion poolside. It received significant airplay on Headbangers Ball upon release. Former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody makes a cameo appearance in the video.
Aside from The Punisher soundtrack, "Step Up" was also used on the soundtrack of NFL Street 2.
Similar to the Desensitized album cover design, the "Step Up" single features porn star Jesse Jane.
"Step Up" was used as the main theme song for the World Wrestling Entertainment PPV WrestleMania XX.
"Step Up" is now the only song from "Desensitized" to still be played live by the band.
