"Turn It Up" is a song performed by American recording artist Ultra Naté. Co-written by Brinsley Evans, Lisa Molina, Julien Aletti, Raphael Aletti, Femi Williams, the song was released as the lead single from Ultra Naté's upcoming album Hero Worship.

Composition

In an interview with Miami New Times, Ultra Naté described the song as "more of a disco-pop record" that draws influences from Donna Summer's song "I Feel Love".^[1]

Critical reception

Michaelangelo Matos from Resident Advisor described the song as "effortlessly built, but the chorus is its weakest point—the close-voiced, quick-sung up-and-down part, specifically. [...], though—the Auto-tune layers are judicious and give an already sheeny performance some extra shine."^[2]
