“Jump” é a única música do Van Halen a alcançar a posição 1 na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA.
A icônica introdução de metais sintetizados foi feita com um teclado Oberheim OB‑X, marcando a mudança de som da banda de hard rock para o pop‑rock de rádio.
A gravação de “Jump” aconteceu à noite no estúdio pessoal de Eddie Van Halen, com o engenheiro Donn Landee, e a faixa foi recapturada em uma única tomada por razões sonoras.
David Lee Roth escreveu a letra e criou a melodia vocal no mesmo dia, enquanto voltava de seu carro Mercury; a versão do clipe inclui um grito dele que foi overdublado especialmente para o vídeo.
O videoclipe, dirigido por Roth, recebeu três indicações ao MTV Video Music Awards e venceu na categoria “Best Stage Performance”.
