Ariana Grande - Step On Up (Blackout Version)

Mashup of "Step On Up" by Ariana Grande, and "Gimme More" by Britney Spears. :)

The artwork is an Ariana Grande rendition of the “Blackout” album by Britney Spears, hence the title of the video.

** I am the creator and original uploader of this mashup. **

Also, hi. This mashup has gotten some insane traction in the past couple years and I want to express how grateful I am — I notice and love all the positive feedback, tik tok dances, video edits, and choreographies. Keep being yourselves, I love to see the passion and creativity! And stay safe 😷❤️

Ingredients:
» Ariana Grande - Step On Up (DIY Acapella)
» Britney Spears - Gimme More (Instrumental Stems + Official Instrumental)

(the way Step On Up stems came out only a few months after I made this. smh)

R.I.P. comment that was the peak of my channel:

“OMG this is so good I shot ass juice 😍😍😍😍😍😍” - _some wonderful person, 2018_

But anyway, since this video has suddenly been flooded with new viewers (thanks Tik Tok???), I’m getting more comments than ever asking if I can upload it to streaming services like Spotify.

I really wish I could, but I cannot legally do this, because mashups contain copyrighted music. If you see any of my mashups on these platforms, it wasn’t posted by me, and will likely be taken down due to copyright infringement (as most of them have been)

Some people have actually uploaded my mashups on these platforms _officially_ (not even as a podcast, but as a real song and artist) and attempted to make real money from them. That is not only illegal, but also extremely unfair to me, as I’m not even allowed to profit from my own mashups, nor have I ever.

Moral of the story, I cannot upload my mashups to Spotify or Apple Music. But I’m glad many of you enjoy the mashup so much! 🤍

This person who made this mashup was ahead of their time

[acerowoodberry]

This mashup saved me, the girls, the gays, and pop music we literally have to stan

[zzieuuo]

This is why producers are important. You can have good lyrics, melody and vocalist but if the beat isn’t good then none of that matters. Who ever thought of this mashup is a genius

[shannon_not_found]

Fun fact: This mashup has over 20 million more views than the official audio of Step On Up.

Gimme More is so iconic that it adds seasoning to any song that need it

[mimifule]

imagine how this edit could save the music industry rn

[rubygracemoseley]

Probably the best mashup I’ve ever heard. Britney and Ariana are both super talented artists and together they are really cool

[calebbelkin]

honestly this instrumental fits better than the original

[byebye]

The fact that people didn’t know that the beat was Gimme More concerns me

[Paradise-rher]

whatever Blackout touches turns into gold

Congratulations for your mashup being used on Miss Universe Thailand !!! This is such a prestigious and popular show, full of amazing women who walked to this music. That's so great.

[andrealapenna]

i really want ariana to do an electropop album, it would suit her voice so much

[CamilaVanilla]

Imagine walking the runway at a fashion show to this.

[climhazzardbeats]

Possibly one of the greatest mashups in the history of pop music and it’s not even official! Danja’s timeless production stays fresh over a decade later

[MozartHerbert]

Imagine Ariana performing this version one day, gosh, that would be so iconic!

[staycgirlsitsgoingdown]

This cleared my skin, cured my depression, made me forget my childhood trauma, and solved all my problems

[horseholder]

Proves Britney’s blackout album was ahead of its time and also proves Britney instrumentals go with any song and are so good

[supriyasingh]

i literally thought this was the original for so long until i heard the actual original on spotify and this one is so much better-

[freddieg]

Can’t believe this mashup is 4 years old- still hits like the first time I heard it in 2018 😭😭😭
