It was believed that Ivy Queen was featured, but Kat herself provided the rap, rapping at a lower register. The song earned DeLuna a Billboard Latin Music Award for "Latin Dance Club Play Track Of The Year." The title comes from the Caribbean English (West Indian) pronunciation of Wind up meaning to move one's hips on the dance floor. The song was featured in the trailer for the film Feel the Noise (2007) starring Omarion.
