"Tear It Up" is the second single from rapper Yung Wun's debut album, The Dirtiest Thirstiest. It features DMX, Lil' Flip and David Banner.
The song samples and interpolates "Dancing Machine" by the Jackson 5 taken from the performance in the film Drumline without credit.
Pedro 'DJ Complejo' Hernandez of Rap Reviews admired the album's ability to "captures everything good about Swizz' production" and the high-energy performances by Yung Wun, and guests David Banner and Lil' Flip. Hernandez concluded that the album didn't have anything "overly impressive on paper, but Yung Wun's style and energy are what should really sell him as an emcee".
Yahoo Entertainment, ranking "20 Best DMX Features" in 2023, placed "Tear It Up" at number seventeenth.
It peaked at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his only single to chart there and his most successful single to date.
