Honey Boo Boo returns with new song 'Movin' Up'

ATLANTA, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Nearly a year since the cancellation of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, reality star Alana Thompson has returned, releasing her first song "Movin' Up," along with an accompanying music video.

Joined by singer/songwriter Adam Barta and her sister, featured vocalist Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon, the single marks the 10-year-old's first attempt at becoming a singer.

Alana raps on the track, acknowledging her past television and beauty pageant history with lyrics such as: "Started out as a pageant queen/Then on TV doing my thing/Now movin' up in the world/New fun times with my girls."

The music video features Alana and her family, including matriarch Mama June Shannon and father Mike 'Sugar Bear' Thompson, dancing in a studio while Honey Boo Boo tries to start the next dance craze by telling listeners during the chorus to "do the Honey Boo Boo bop."

On Twitter, Mama June announced that the single was available on iTunes.

Thompson's older sister Anna Cardwell did not make an appearance amid claims that she is owed more than $200,000 by Mama June and Honey Boo Boo LLC for unpaid appearances on the reality show.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled in 2014 after reports surfaced that Mama June was dating her ex-boyfriend, a convicted child molester. She denied the allegations.
