The song took samples of the initial synthesizer line from the 1980's Italo disco hit "I'm Ready" by Kano. The choir is almost the same as the song "Whoot, There It Is" released by fellow Miami based in 95 South a month earlier, but the lyrics of the verse are very different. Both tracks are mapped on the Billboard chart at the same time, but "Whoot, There It Is" reached # 11 and "Whoomp! (There It Is)" reached # 2 on Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Members of 95 Southern claims that Team Tag copied their work. "Whoot, There It Is" was released in March 1993, two months before "Whoomp! (There It Is)". Both singles were recorded in Atlanta. Members of the DC Team Tag claim that the phrase, 'Whoomp! There It Is created by a stripper from Florida who works in Atlanta. DC was a DJ at an adult entertainment company in Georgia during that time. However, South 95, based in Miami, which causes most DC believers to either just lie and know about the track, or he is not really aware that the phrases taken by Florida strippers in Georgia come from a song already released. It seems very unlikely, if not impossible, for a professional DJ to be unaware of the widely played song, especially given that the Florida strip dancer she DJ asks her own music to dance.
