“Rip It Up” foi escrita por Robert Blackwell e John Marascalco e lançada como single de Little Richard em junho 1956 pela Specialty Records, tendo “Ready Teddy” como B‑side.
A gravação de Little Richard alcançou o topo da Billboard Rhythm & Blues Records chart, ficou em 17º lugar no Billboard Hot 100 e chegou a 30º na parada britânica de singles.
O solo de saxofone tenor na versão de Little Richard foi executado por Lee Allen, enquanto a bateria ficou a cargo de Earl Palmer, que mais tarde reapareceu tocando a música no documentário “Make It Funky!” (2005).
Em 1956, Bill Haley & His Comets também gravaram “Rip It Up”, alcançando a 25ª posição no Hot 100 dos EUA e subindo ao quarto lugar nas paradas do Reino Unido.
A canção foi incluída na trilha sonora do filme biográfico “La Bamba” (1987), interpretada pelos Los Lobos, embora não tenha sido lançada oficialmente em álbum até aparecer no disco “El Cancionero Mas y Mas”.
