About Livin' It Up

"Livin' It Up" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Ciara for her fifth studio album, Ciara (2013), featuring guest vocals from American female rapper Nicki Minaj. It was written by Ciara, D'Mile, Wynter Gordon and Nicki Minaj, with D'Mile also producing it. "Livin' It Up" contains a portion of the composition "I Don't Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky", as performed by Kid 'n Play. The song leaked in 2012, without Minaj's verses, on a playlist for the Cosmopolitan website, and only in 2013, Minaj was included on the track. The song is also the third time Minaj and Ciara work together, and the second on the same album; with the other being its second single, "I'm Out". "Livin' It Up" is an "Island-flavored", "feel-good track" about enjoying life and living life to the fullest. "Livin' It Up" received positive reviews from music critics who praised the "feel-good" track for energetic, memorable, affirming that it could be a hit, when released. The song was also a huge success in South Korea, where it has charted at number 2 on the Gaon Charts, selling over 1,000,000 copies in its first week. To promote the album, Ciara recorded "video shorts" for some songs, including one for "Livin' It Up", which lasts for 1:48. more »

I don't believe in much but I believe in you
I don't believe I care, 'cause I don't follow rules
I see a star so bright, no one could been that blind
No one can crush you out but you

And I, I, I
Living on the world turning
And I, I, I
Ima be giving mine
And I, I, I
I'll be wrong if I don't try
I don't know when my next move is coming
All I know is I'll be running

I, I, I, I'll be living up,
I'll be living up
I, I, I, I'll be throwing it up,
I'll be throwing it up
I, I, I, I'll be playin it cool,
'Cause a girl's gonna do
What a girl's gonna do
Makin' up my own rules
Ola Ola eh
Ola Ola eh
Ola Ola eh
Ola Ola eh

I had my doubts in love but I know it's true
I don't have many friends, but I got you
You are a walking Don, you are a secret gone
Something no one can take from you

And I, I, I
Living on the world turning
And I, I, I
I'm gon' be giving mine
And I, I, I
I'll be wrong if I don't try
I don't know when my next move is coming
All I know is I'll be running

I, I, I, I'll be living up,
I'll be living up
I, I, I, I'll be throwing it up,
I'll be throwing it up
I, I, I, I'll be playin it cool,
Cause a girl's gonna do
What a girl's gonna do
Makin up my own rules

I told Cici I was getting her
I told the bitches can’t see her no retina
I told her if you go in there’s no letting up
See they could kick you while you’re down but you’re getting up
See ain’t a man that could block what God bless
So if a chick wanna try she a hot mess
‘Cause this one is for the girls making progress
See I’m a monster, no I’m not a Lochness
Put my, put my, put my work ethic damn in that lock next
That’s why this little Trini girl get the top checks
Went from watching niggas cook up in the pyrex
But now I rock jets, meetings with the top reps

Ima live life to the fullest
I’ll be speeding like a bullet
I’ll be rolling like a train
I’ll be dancing in the rain

I, I, I, I'll be living up,
I'll be living up
I, I, I, I'll be throwing it up,
I'll be throwing it up
I, I, I, I'll be playin it cool,
Cause a girl's gonna do
What a girl's gonna do
Makin' up my own rules
