"Turn Up the Sunshine" is a song recorded by American singer Diana Ross featuring Australian musician Tame Impala from the soundtrack to the animated film Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022). The song was written by Jack Antonoff, Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), Sam Dew and Patrik Berger. The song was originally recorded for Ross' studio album Thank You (2021).
It was released on May 19, 2022 by Decca Records as the lead single from the soundtrack album for the film.
Critical reception Tyler Golsen in his review called the song "almost blindingly bright and exuberant", which groovy disco thump radiates summer energy. Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote that "Turn Up the Sunshine" sounds like Antonoff and Parker are trying to recreate the euphoria of the music that Diana Ross and Chic recorded together in 1980, and that it is "a big, shiny dance-pop track with a utopian chorus and some nasty low-end work".
