Their collaboration dates back to 2008 and was intermittent for the next five years while Lauren cut her teeth writing and playing keyboards in DJ Khalil’s camp working with such artists as Corin from Purity Ring and A$AP Rocky. At the same time Danny honed his sound by touring with his band Baby Monster (supporting Klaxons, Miike Snow and Metric, to name a few), and remixing tracks for the likes of Ellie Goulding and Gorillaz. In the summer of 2013, Lauren and Danny reunited in the studio and what came out was “Call Yourself a Lover,” a break-up anthem that starts slow and builds to a splendid dreamscape of ‘80s-era synths. It was the perfect launching pad for Pr0files, which now releases music via its own label, Straight A Records.

Get It Up

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn the night up, make your dirty thoughts unhidden
Kneel down low, till it feels like your religion
Even in your darkest hour your body feels alive
Tell me am I coming through loud and clear
Let me be the one to get you out of here
Cause I'm holding on, till this feeling is gone

Go get it up on everybody, even if you don't, pretend you got it

Give it everything, you've hit the bottom, go and get it up all on somebody
Oh, oh, oh, oh, go and get it up on everybody
Oh, oh, oh, oh, go and get it up all on somebody

Dance like the highest walls couldn't contain you

Close your eyes, follow where the rhythm takes you
Cause I'm holding on, till this feeling is gone

Overall Meaning

"Get It Up" by Pr0files is a song about letting loose, living in the moment, and feeling alive. The first verse encourages the listener to embrace their dirty thoughts and make them unhidden, suggesting that sexual freedom might be an important part of this experience. The lyrics also reference a spiritual element, with the line "kneel down low, till it feels like your religion," encouraging the listener to give in completely to the experience and let it take over. Even in the darkest hour, the lyrics suggest, the body can still feel alive; this could be interpreted as a call to persevere through hard times and find joy even in difficult circumstances.

The chorus is repetitive but still powerful, with the phrase "go get it up" urging the listener to take action and enjoy life to the fullest. The song suggests that even if the listener doesn't feel like they have anything to give, they should still try their best and give it their all. The idea of "getting it up all on somebody" could be interpreted as a call to connect with others and share in the experience of living.

The second verse continues the theme of dancing and following the rhythm, urging the listener to abandon their inhibitions and let the music take over. The repetition of the phrase "cause I'm holding on, till this feeling is gone" suggests that the singer and the listener are in this experience together, and that they will ride it out until it's over.
