Give It Up

Give It Up is a song performed by Jade West and Cat Valentine at the Karaoke Dokie in the Victorious hour long episode Freak the Freak Out. The in-universe original artist is unknown.

In the show
Though the song was performed by both Cat and Jade, it was picked by Jade, who had to be under the impression that Cat was going to do as well with the song as she did. In the context of the Schneider-verse, "Give It Up" is an already existing somewhat risqué pop song. Thus, it can be heard as part of the DJ's playlist in the iCarly episode that crosses over with Victorious, called IParty with Victorious, though there is a goof - the song heard in the episode is played as sung by Cat and Jade.

In real life
According to Dan Schneider's twitter, the song was supposed to be released on iTunes in early December. Instead an illegal copy was added on January 2, 2011, and removed later on that month. It was also listed in Amazon as an MP3 illegally under similar circumstances. The listing can be found here, but the song is no longer available. Ariana Grande stated on her twitter that the song was inspired by "Lady Marmalade". The song is on the Victorious soundtrack, both on CD and on legal downloads as of August 2, 2011.

Lyrics
Jade: Someday, I'll let you in Treat you right Drive you out of your mind, oh

Cat: You never met a chick like me Burn so bright I'm gonna make you blind

Cat and Jade:

Always want what you can't have Is it so bad if you don't get what you wanted? Make you feel good as I whip you into shape, yeah boy, Let's get it started!

Give it up, you can't win 'Cause I know where you been Such a shame you don't put up a fight That's a game that we play at the end of the night It's the same old story but you never get it right Give it up

Come a little closer, Come a little closer baby baby,

Come a little closer, Come a little closer baby baby!

Jade:

So stop trying to walk away No, you won't ever leave me behind

Cat: No, you better believe that I'm here to stay (That's right) 'Cause you're the shade and I'm the sunshine, ooooohh!

Cat and Jade:

Look at me, boy, 'cause I got you where I want you Isn't it so exciting? Wanna shake you, wanna break you Take the backseat, boy, 'cause now I'm driving

Give it up, you can't win 'Cause I know where you been Such a shame you don't put up a fight That's a game that we play at the end of the night It's the same old story but you never get it right Give it up

Cat with Jade:

Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh...

Jade with Cat:

Heyeyeyeah

Cat:

Oooooooooooooh!

Cat and Jade:

Come a little closer Come a little closer; baby, baby Come a little closer Come a little closer; baby, baby Come a little closer Come a little closer, baby

If you are my baby then I'll make you crazy tonight!

Look at me boy 'cause I got you where I want you Isn't it so exciting? Wanna shake you, wanna break you Take the backseat, boy, 'cause now I'm driving

Give it up, you can't win 'Cause I know where you been Such a shame you don't put up a fight That's a game that we play at the end of the night It's the same old story but you never get it right Give it up, oohhooo, yeah.
