Give It Up
"Give It Up" was officially released on August 2, 2011, as the seventh track on the soundtrack album called Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show. The music style of "Give It Up" is a mix of teen pop, pop, and R&B. Kristen S. Hé, who wrote for Billboard magazine, said that in "Give It Up," Grande sang with a different and deeper voice compared to her other songs. Bob Hoose and Steven Isaac, writing for Plugged In, compared "Give It Up" to a song called "Lady Marmalade" by Patti LaBelle, which was released in 1974. In the song, Grande and Gillies tell a boy to "come a little closer": "At the end of the night/It's the same old story/But you never get it right/Give it up/Take a backseat, boy/'Cause now I’m driving."
