"Move (If You Wanna)" is the official first single from Mims' second studio album, Guilt.[1] The song was released to radio in October 2008.[2]

The song was featured in an episode of From G's to Gents, and was also featured on the soundtrack to Step Up 3D. The music video, directed by Keith Schofield,[3] was released on the director's official YouTube page on February 6, 2009[4] and premiered on 106 & Park on February 27.

Following accusations of copying the rapping style for Move (If You Wanna) from Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid, Mims stated he never met Gillie and was not trying to start beef with anyone.[5] Mims and Gillie would later record the remix for Move (If You Wanna) together.[6]

Remix

There was supposed to be an official remix featuring rapper Tech N9ne, but it was never released. Tech N9ne's verse was released on the re-release of his mixtape, Bad Season, under the name "Move (Acapella Remix)".
