Song information
The song was featured in the motion picture The Devil Wears Prada. "Jump", however, was not included on the soundtrack of the film when the soundtrack was released. The single was not released in France or Japan, even though the music video was shot in Japan. Madonna performed "Jump" on her 2006 Confessions Tour. The song was later featured on the 2008 season finale of ABC's "Ugly Betty". Madonna included elements of the song in the performance of her classic hit "Into the Groove" on 2008's Sticky and Sweet Tour, making it only the second appearance of any Confessions on a Dancefloor song on the tour along with "Hung Up".
Some controversy has arisen over Madonna's extreme resemblance to the anime character "Mello", from the show Death Note. Fans of the show have pointed to the similar appearance of both Mello and Madonna in the music video, as well as the fact that the video was filmed in Tokyo, where most of the series takes place.
The song borrows its chord structure from Pet Shop Boys' classic West End Girls.
