Give It Up
Nathan Sykes feat. G‐Eazy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something happened baby,
Only you can make it right
Clear my heavy mind with your tricks
Got that magic baby,
'Cause everything I fear just slowly disappears
As we kiss, yeah

Baby, I want you close, I want you close
Give me your love
Baby, I want some more, I want some more
Can't get enough
Baby, I wanna feel your touch, wanna feel your touch
Just get me up and go on and on, on and on

(Uh uh uh uh) don't leave me girl
(Uh uh uh uh) please stay with me tonight
(Uh uh uh uh) don't leave me girl
(Uh uh uh uh) I know you're down to give it up

Are you happy baby?
I can make you valentines
Every single night, dim the lights
I'm ecstatic baby, you've got me on the high
Join me in this sky paradise

Baby, I want you close, I want you close
Give me your love
Baby, I want some more, I want some more
Can't get enough
Baby, I wanna feel your touch, feel your touch
Just get me up and go on and on, on and on

(Uh uh uh uh) don't leave me girl
(Uh uh uh uh) please stay with me tonight
(Uh uh uh uh) don't leave me girl
(Uh uh uh uh) I know you're down to give it up

I had a show in sydney in front of aussie, right?
Then a show in london, for the longest flight
I know it's been too long and you're always right
Just tryna see you after a hardest night
Listen, this between us, our secret don't tell
It's beatles mania when I leave the hotel
We don't want tabloid cashing up no chills
Tryna be with you alone for a week
Clock this morning, this is short thing
Let's take off without all the paparazzi swarming
I'm tryna show you you're the most important
Until one you're tryna be too forward
But we've got one chance
And I can't wait till the next time I see you
So you should stay till I leave to the next city and disappear
So, only if I need you here
I'm saying

(Uh uh uh uh) don't leave me girl
(Uh uh uh uh) please stay with me tonight
(Uh uh uh uh) don't leave me girl
(Uh uh uh uh) I know you're down to give it up

Don't leave
Stay with me tonight
Don't leave me baby




I know you got to to give it up
Ha ha

Overall Meaning

In the song "Give It Up" by Nathan Sykes Feat. G-eazy, the singer is addressing someone he cares about deeply. He's had a distressing experience that only his love interest can rectify, and he needs her to use her magic to soothe him. His fears and concerns vanish when they share a kiss. Nathan is fixated on his partner, and he wants to be as physically close to her as possible, pleading for her to stay with him for the night. He assures her that he will make every effort to make her happy in return.


The second verse tells us that Nathan Sykes is a famous performer travelling to multiple countries for shows. Despite the distance and his hectic schedule, his lover is always on his mind, and he doesn't want to lose her. He tells his love interest that when he's with her, he feels as if they are in a sky paradise, and his euphoric words unite with the electric beat to demonstrate his love for her.


The chorus repeats the same message of wanting his lover to stay with him and give him the love and touch he craves. He knows that she's willing to "give it up" for him, and he's elated at the possibility of being intimate with her. The outro emphasizes the chorus's message, and the artist asks his love interest not to leave him and stay the night.
