"Gloves Up" lyrics

"Gloves Up"

Up purrrup, put ya, put ya, put ya gloves up
Up purrrup, put 'em all the way up
Up purrrup, put ya, put ya, put ya gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high

Sweat on the carpet, blood on the walls
Nothing can stop me, stop the applause
They thought I was over, down on the floor
Ain't tapping out, see me coming for more
Start a riot, ruckus and rage
Ready to rumble, ain't scared of the pain
Shots to my body, no tears on my face
Ain't throwing the towel in or running away

Ooh, can't nobody tell me nothing
Just know, I'm gonna be starting something

I, I got my eyes on the prize
Fight till the day that I die
Can't knock me down and that's why
I got 'em all the way up
Taking this moment, it's mine
Brighter than bright I will shine
Can't knock me down and that's why
I got 'em all the way up

Up purrrup, put ya, put ya put ya gloves up
Up purrrup, put 'em all the way up (All the way up)
Up purrrup, put ya, put ya, put ya gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high

Baby, I'm gunning, gunning for gold
'Cause I been breaking, breaking the mould
We'll rewrite the history pages, believe that
Make sure they don't forget
Change the green to red
Legend of the four divas

Ooh, can't nobody tell me nothing
Just know, I'm gonna be starting something

I, I got my eyes on the prize
Fight till the day that I die
Can't knock me down and that's why
I got 'em all the way up
Taking this moment, it's mine
Brighter than bright I will shine
Can't knock me down and that's why
I got 'em all the way up

All the way, all the way up
All the way, all the way up
All the way, all the way up
I got 'em all the way up

Up purrrup, put ya, put ya, put ya gloves up
Up purrrup, put 'em all the way up (All the way up)
Up purrrup, put ya, put ya, put ya gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high

Up purrrup, put ya, put ya, put ya gloves up
Up purrrup, put 'em all the way up
Up purrrup, put ya, put ya, put ya gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high

Perrie said on Apple Music about "Gloves Up", "This was done with Maegan Cottone, who we wrote 'Salute' with, as well as other songs. We absolutely love Meg. I feel like she just gets us so well. It's a very anthemic song, and the chorus is quite Ciara-ish. We just had fun with it."
Leigh-Anne said about this song, "'Gloves Up' takes me back a little bit within Little Mix, but I don't mind that. I feel like this one will be a fan favorite. We had it in mind when we wrote this song that it would maybe be a tour opener."
