<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ciara and Blanco met early on in Blanco’s musical ; journey, in Atlanta, when he was producing records for other artists and have remained friends (as evident in their recent ;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/xxwcye/taof7mc/p7ubdk" target="_blank"><strong>ET Live Artist x Artist interview</strong></a>. Ciara ;was one of the first supporters of “The Git Up,” singing Blanco’s praises and posting the song to her Instagram. With the remix, the two finally had the opportunity to fulfill their decade long dream of working together as artists. ;The pair will perform some of it at <strong>Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve</strong>—tune into ABC on December 31, at 8pm/7pmCT.  ; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When I thought about doing a remix, there was only one person that initially came to mind&#8230;Ciara,” said Brown. “We’ve been friends for more than a decade so I’m glad we made it happen and happy that my mentor Jasper was a part of it because he taught me most of what I know about the music industry!”  ; One of the biggest Country songs of 2019, “The Git Up” claimed the #1 spot on <em>Billboard’s </em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/xxwcye/taof7mc/5zvbdk" target="_blank">Hot Country Songs Chart</a>, for 12 weeks (the longest reign since the chart’s creation) and was the top-selling Country single in the US for 13 weeks. The original track went viral after a social video of Blanco performing the dance caught the world’s attention and spawned nearly 3 billion views and millions of user-generated videos using #TheGitUpChallenge.  ; </p>
