It was written by Dan Sembello and Allee Willis and recorded by LaBelle for the motion picture soundtrack album to the 1984 action comedy film Beverly Hills Cop, while production was helmed by Harold Faltermeyer and Keith Forsey. "Stir It Up" was the second of a couple of songs, also including "New Attitude" (1984), she recorded for MCA Records immediately after signing her new contract with that company.
