"Going Up" is a song about giving everything you have to someone who doesn't want you back. The song begins with frenzied jazz instrumentals before going into Francis and the Lights' yearning hook. The pop artist sings, "Please, ‘fore I let you go / Take this little piece of me / I know it isn’t anything / But you can’t have it all." Lil B and Shabazz Palaces both join in for their respective verses, adding their experiences with falling in love.

ANIMALS is out everywhere this Friday, May 26. Listen to "Going Up" below.
