Sun Is Up is a song by Romanian dance/pop vocalist Inna extracted from her second studio album I Am the Club Rocker (2011). Written and composed by Play & Win members Sebastian Barac, Radu Bolfea and Marcel Botezan, it serves as the first release from her sophomore full-length record. However, in the United Kingdom, the single acts as an expansion for her already released debut studio album Hot (2009). A house record, "Sun Is Up" 's lyrics speak about a group of young people that party while the sun goes up by "putting their hands in the sky" and "getting in the rhythm".
"Sun Is Up" received mostly positive reviews from music critics, with Paul Lester from The Guardian citing that the song reminds of Boys Boys Boys by Sabrina. The single was officially sent to Romanian radio stations on June 29, 2010, where it became her second best-charting single, with it managing to peak at number-two on the airplay-based Romanian Top 100. Released to critical acclaim, "Sun Is Up" became an instant hit throughout Europe, reaching number-one in Bulgaria and the Romandie region of Switzerland while entering the top-ten in ten countries. Furthermore, the song reached the top-ten in Mexico and in the US Billboard Hot Dance/Mix Show Airplay, giving Inna her second US top ten dance hit after her number-one single "Hot".
The song sold an estimate of 2 million copies worldwide, while it was certified Gold in Italy and Switzerland by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry and the IFPI Switzerland, respectively, for selling 15,000 copies. Furthermore, it managed to sell 125,000 registered copies in France within a year.
