Speed Me Up

"**Speed Me Up**" is a single released by Wiz Khalifa featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty and Sueco the Child, with a contribution from Nessly. The song is a promotional piece for *Sonic the Hedgehog*. The song's music video uses many assets from the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series, with an alternate version being used for the film's credits. The song's backtrack was originally composed by Juice WRLD for "Keep Up", which would have been the film's credits theme if it had been released.

An alternate version of the song was leaked before the official release.

The French version differs from the global release, only containing verses by Khalifa, with altered lyrics.

A slightly modified iteration of the song later appeared on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, with changes made during Ty Dolla $ign's section.
