Platinum-selling recording artist and cultural trailblazer Cupid, widely known as the “Line Dance King of the World,” has once again elevated the genre with the release of his brand-new single, High Steppin’.
The upbeat gospel line dance track, featuring Grammy Award-winning artist Mr. Talkbox, was officially released on August 15, 2025, and is already lifting spirits on the dance floor nationwide.
Blending his signature “Linedance Music” sound with uplifting gospel energy, High Steppin’ invites listeners to celebrate faith, joy, and community through movement. The single showcases Mr. Talkbox’s electrifying vocal flair, paired with Cupid’s undeniable gift for creating music that brings people together.
“This song is bigger than music—it’s about movement, faith, and unity,” says Cupid. “With High Steppin’, we’re giving people a reason to praise, dance, and step into joy.”
Cupid, who rose to worldwide fame with his 6x platinum hit Cupid Shuffle, has built a two-decade career redefining how music and dance intersect. His legacy includes hits like Do It With Your Boots On, The Cupid Shuffle, Old School, Love Slide and viral fan favorite Flex (2021), which continues to climb the charts. This year, he’s been featured on Lil Duval’s trending anthem Go Auntie and collaborated with Bun B and Paul Wall on The Cookout (Remix)—cementing his cross-genre versatility.
High Steppin’ arrives ahead of Cupid’s highly anticipated first-ever R&B and Line Dance album, set for release on September 1, 2025. The project will make music history, bridging the worlds of soulful R&B, gospel, and the global line dance movement that Cupid pioneered.
Earlier this year, the State of Louisiana honored Cupid as “The Line Dance King of the World,” recognizing his cultural impact and his ability to bring joy, movement, and unity to communities worldwide. With High Steppin’, Cupid proves yet again that his music is more than a soundtrack—it’s inspiration.
From Lafayette, Louisiana, Cupid is the visionary artist who transformed line dancing into a global cultural phenomenon. Known for his groundbreaking hit Cupid Shuffle, Cupid has sold millions of records worldwide, partnered with brands like Walmart and McDonald’s, and contributed to major soundtracks including Step It Up 2 and Jumping the Broom.
His unique sound—“Linedance Music”—fuses R&B, gospel, country, hip-hop, and pop, inspiring generations of dancers and choreographers across the world. In 2025, Cupid continues to innovate with viral singles, legendary collaborations, and the release of the first-ever R&B and Line Dance album.
