In this single, Marlowe explores their frustrations with queer relationships, running into barriers with their partners who are never quite comfortable enough to be themselves, afraid of their feminine side. Marlowe wants them to embrace the femininity they fear, and leave it all out there on the dance floor. It’s a really empowering message, especially at a time when femininity, queer love and gender nonconformity are all being deeply demonised. It’s at times like these when queer communities find solace in music, on dance floors, at the club. We get to come together, embrace each other, and dance the fear of the outside world away. ‘Give It Up’ is the perfect track for this.
