"Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit" is a house/tech house single written and produced by Fedde le Grand.

The song was released in the Netherlands first on June 26, 2006, peaking at number four in the Dutch Top 40. It was released in the rest of Europe (UK excluded) in August 2006, and enjoyed steadily increasing popularity, first charting in October 2006.

The single originally reached number one on the UK Dance Chart and 53 on the UK singles chart before being released on CD, from 12" vinyl and digital download sales alone. It was given a full release in the UK on October 23, 2006 and leapt to number two on the overall UK singles chart, selling 46,000 copies. The following week, the song climbed to number one. It remained at number one for one week before being knocked out by "The Rose" by Westlife. The single went on to be the UK's 20th best selling single of the year.^[1]

In the UK and Australia, the song was released as "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit", with "for" replacing "4" in the title.

The music video is directed by Marcus Adams. It features a Kubrick type of science lab where fembot technicians (Aimee Bramall, Emma Wharton, Lauren Ridealgh and Anchelique Mariano) create multiple male androids (Spanish dance student Arran García). The video is available in two versions, a regular cut and late night with extended footage.

• After some confusion regarding the correct lyrics to the song, Fedde Le Grand confirmed on his official website the sampled lyrics are, "put your hands up for Detroit, our lovely city".[1]
• The same lyrics or samples are used in Matthew Dear's 1999 release "Hands Up For Detroit". [2]
