"Wake Up" is a song by American actress and singer
Described by Duff as an '80s-influenced dance-pop song, "Wake Up" is lyrically about going out and having fun. "Wake Up" received mixed reviews from music critics. Some praised it for being "irresistible" and having a fun nature, while others criticized it for its "insipid" lyrics and noted that it sounds like "leftovers" from Duff's previous releases. "Wake Up" achieved commercial success, becoming a top-ten hit in Ireland, Italy, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom. It reached the top 40 in several other countries: Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States.

Development
On May 20, 2005,
According to Duff, she did not tell anyone at her record label that she was working with the Dead Executives.[5] Joel, whom Duff had been dating at the time, was aware that she needed new material for a compilation album, and knew that she wanted a "totally different sound".[5] Together, the Dead Executives went into the recording studio and worked on new music for Duff, before bringing her into the studio to collectively work on them.[5] Duff described working with them as pleasant, and the music as a new milestone in her career, stating that working with "people you're close with makes a world of difference when you're recording and being creative."[5] At the same time, Duff was also nervous about how her fans would react to the new music.[4] Duff recorded four tracks for the album, three of which were co-written and produced with the Dead Executives.[6]

Music video
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Marc Webb[9][21] and was shot in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[21] Duff said, "I'm a huge fan of [the bands he's worked with], so I was really excited that he would direct my video." She added:
"The video moves really quickly and has all [these] quick pops. It shows me in Tokyo, London, Paris, New York, and it goes through all these different looks, [one] in each city, and it just shows that no matter where you are, people want [to do] the same things: they dance and they party. [...] The [style] looks kind of grainy and it's a totally different look for me."[9]
It starts with Duff waking up on a couch, then sitting up to begin singing the song. Shortly after, the video cuts to a shot of her singing while sitting on a bench in her bedroom. After listening to music through headphones for a short while, she gets up, applies make-up, and puts on a black wig. She leaves her bedroom and rides around town in a car with several friends. She is then seen at various nightclubs in different cities. For the duration of the video, there are shots of her at different parties and clubs while she sings and clubgoers around her dance.[9][22]
