“Gloves Up” is the eighth track off of Little Mix’s sixth album Confetti and has similar themes to their fifth album, LM5. It references feminism and breaking down barriers and is the only song on Confetti to do so, a sharp turn from the prevalent topic of female empowerment on LM5.

[Intro: Jade]
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Up-purrrup, put them all the way up
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high
[Verse 1: Perrie, Jade]
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 tappin' out, see me comin' 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 runnin' away
[Pre-Chorus: Jesy]
Ooh, can't nobody tell me nothing
Just know, I'm gonna be startin' somethin'
[Chorus: Perrie]
I, I got my eyes on the prize
Fight 'til the day that I die
Can't knock me down and that's why
I got 'em all the way up
Takin' 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
[Refrain: Jesy & Perrie, Perrie]
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Up-purrrup, put them all the way up (All the way up)
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high
[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne]
Baby, I'm gunnin', gunnin' for gold
'Cause I've been breakin', 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
[Pre-Chorus: Jade]
Ooh, can't nobody tell me nothing
Just know, I'm gonna be startin' somethin'
[Chorus: Leigh-Anne, Perrie, Jade, Leigh-Anne & Jade]
I, I got my eyes on the prize
Fight 'til the day that I die (Day that I die)
Can't knock me down and that's why (You can't knock me down)
I got 'em all the way up
Takin' this moment, it's mine (I'm takin', oh)
Brighter than bright I will shine (I will shine)
Can't knock me down and that's why
I got 'em all the way up
[Post-Chorus: Jade, Perrie]
All the way, all the way up (Oh, woah, woah)
All the way, all the way up (All the way up)
All the way, all the way up (Ooh)
I got 'em all the way up
[Refrain: Jesy & Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Perrie, All]
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Up-purrrup, put them all the way up (All the way up)
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high (All the way up)
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Up-purrrup, put them all the way up
Up-purrrup, put your, put your, put your gloves up
Boy, you better put 'em high
Gloves Up was written by Perrie (UK) & Leigh-Anne & Jade Thirlwall & Maegan Cottone & LOSTBOY.
Gloves Up was produced by LOSTBOY.
Little Mix released Gloves Up on Fri Nov 06 2020.
This was done with [songwriter] 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.

‘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.
