"Jump (For My Love)" was the lead track, although not the lead single, of the Pointer Sisters' 1983 album, ''Break Out''.

Released prior to the 1984 Summer Olympics Games, the video was accompanied by footage of athletes in track and field events. The song was the second of four Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in a row for them in 1984, peaking at #3 in July. It also appeared on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart and was also a top ten song in the UK peaking at number six there.

The song netted the group a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1985.

In 2003, this recording was used in the movie ''Love Actually''.

In 2003, Girls Aloud covered "Jump" for the movie soundtrack ''Love Actually''. The film uses the Pointer Sisters' original version in the film itself due to American audiences being unaware of Girls Aloud, who feature in the end credits.

It gave them a #2 hit and became their second biggest seller. In the United Kingdom, the single sold 59,820 copies in its first week of release and a total of 180,000 copies.

Girls Aloud's version featured two album tracks from Sound of the Underground, as well as a cover of the theme song from ''Grease'' (from ITV's Grease Mania).

The track was released prior to the re-release of the platinum-selling album ''Sound of the Underground''. It was also included on 2004's ''What Will The Neighbours Say?''.

Music video

---

''. There is a version of the video without scenes from the movie that can be found on the girls' DVD, ''Girls On Film''.

A Hugh Grant look-a-like was hired, and the premise of the video was that the members of the band were sneaking around the residence of the Prime Minister.

Both group and individual shots were used as the band members progressed from sneaking in a bedroom window to going down a set of stairs to entering a conference room to finally re-exiting through the window.
