It was the third single released from his second studio album, Gangsta's Paradise (1995), in February 1996 by Tommy Boy Entertainment. Initially entitled "Sumpin' New", the song uses a sample from "Thighs High (Grip Your Hips and Move)", recorded in 1981 by American jazz trumpeter Tom Browne, and also includes a vocal sample from "Wikka Wrap" by the Evasions, from 1981.Elia Habib, Muz hit. tubes, p. 353 (2-9518832-0-X)1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New) 1996 US CD single liner notes Tommy Boy Entertainment TBCD 7721 The song achieved success in several countries, including the United States, Estonia, France, Iceland, and New Zealand, where it was a top-10 hit. Critical reception Larry Flick from Billboard magazine described the song as "a jumpy, funk-lined jeep anthem that allows Coolio plenty of room to work up a fun, lyrical sweat." He added, "The sample-happy groove provides a wigglin' good time, riding primarily on a prominent snippet of the early '80s 12-incher 'Wikka Wrap' by the Evasions. Lighter in content than Coolio's recent releases, this is a hit-bound jam that will leave you gleefully twitching and grinning from ear to ear." Gil L. Robertson IV from Cash Box named "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)" a standout track of the Gangsta's Paradise album.Gil L.

Robertson IV Ralph Tee from Music Weeks RM Dance Update gave the song a score of four out of five. He remarked, "Unlike so many hip hop singles which lean towards often depressing issues, this is a spirited happy record about having a great party. It kicks off with a sample from The Evasions' 1981 novelty hit 'Wikka Wrap', the Alan Whicker impersonation leading towards an upbeat disco rap which utilises the much-used Chic bassline from 'Good Times' and some sampled Tom Browne horns. A strong third single from the hottest rapper in the biz right now." Another RM editor, James Hamilton described it as an "ultra infectious jiggly rap smacker".https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1996/Music-Week-1996-04-06.pdf James Hamilton DJ Directory Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental Insert) April 6, 1996 11 August 15, 2021 James Hamilton (DJ and journalist) Music video A music video (directed by David Dobkin) for the Timber mix was released, featuring Coolio attempting to get to a party.
