Critical reception

Reviews for "Up!" were favorable. Billboard magazine described the song as being "life-loving [and] instantly singable," and predicted "this one sounds like it's got the goods to go the distance".[3] About.com praised the song’s technical side by saying "[t]he production is solid and Shania's tone is as good as ever vocally".[4]

Music video

The music video for "Up!" was shot by Antti J in Madrid, alongside some scenes for the video of "Ka-Ching!". It was filmed in early January 2003 and released on January 11, 2003.[5] All three album versions of the song were released: Red, Green and Blue. The video shows Twain in a white room, decorating a wall with memorabilia and photographs related to Shania. These include a glove from the "That Don't Impress Me Much" video, an AC/DC t-shirt worn on her Rolling Stone magazine cover, one picture of her parents, another with her dog, a Montreal Canadiens jersey and a Canadian flag. The video won the MuchMoreMusic Video of the Year Award at the 2003 MuchMusic Video Awards. Commercially it is available on select CD singles, the DVD-Audio version of Up! and at the iTunes Store.

Chart performance

"Up!" debuted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart the week of November 16, 2002, at number 57, based on album play alone, yet was still the highest debut of the week. The single spent 20 weeks on the chart and climbed to a peak position of number 12 on March 8, 2003, where it remained for one week. "Up!" became Twain's eighteenth top twenty single. On the Billboard Hot 100, "Up!" peaked at number 63 and at number 62 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.

While "Up!" underperformed in most of Europe, it managed to hit number two on Canada's sales chart and number three on Hungary's airplay chart.

Promotion

As one of the first singles released from the Up! album, it was performed on several televised programs to boost airplay and sales. The first performance was in Edmonton at the 2002 Grey Cup. Two days later, in New York City, the song was performed on The Today Show. Twain headed to Australia to promote the album, where she performed the song on Rove Live. Back in the United States, the song was performed in a medley with "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" at the American Music Awards. The next day, Twain performed the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In April 2003, Twain opened the Juno Awards with "Up!". The most-watched performance of the song was in the Super Bowl XXXVII halftime show, where it was performed alongside "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!".
