Interesting facts and trivia about Turn Up The Sunshine - From 'Minions: The Rise of Gru' Soundtrack. By Songfacts®.

"Turn Up The Sunshine" is an unlikely collaboration between '70s disco icon and Supremes great Diana Ross, and the Aussie psych-rock masters Tame Impala. They recorded the feel-good summer anthem for the soundtrack of the animated family movie Minions: The Rise of Gru.

The groove-laden dance-pop track with a utopian chorus does exactly what the title suggests. It begins with young children repeating the titular phrase, then Ross steps in to rap-sing the verses before letting rip on the soaring soul chorus. The song is reminiscent of both Ross' '70s disco-driven pop hits and Tame Impala's swirling, psychedelic soundscapes.

Jack Antonoff curated and produced the Minions: The Rise of Gru soundtrack. The New York producer helmed Taylor Swift's Folklore and Evermore albums as well as records by Lorde, Lana Del Rey, and St. Vincent. Antonoff and Ross got along so well that he later produced and played on "I Still Believe" on her 2021 Thank You album.
