dbpprop:abstract
  • "Don't Give It Up" was the third single and final single taken from British R&B singer Lemar's second album Time to Grow. "Don't Give It Up" concerns the preservation of virginity and how young people should not give into peer pressure regarding sexuality. The song was inspired by a young lady Lemar bumped into outside of a school near Tottenham, his fathers home. She had been skipping school to see her older boyfriend. Lemar and the young lady spoke about their relationship and the situation regarding sexuality. He explained to her that if he truly loved and cared for her, he would wait and be patient and she should not feel the need to rush into anything that she did not want to get herself into. Despite the song being remixed for single release, "Don't Give It Up" became Lemar's first single to miss the top 20 of the UK singles chart since the release of his debut "Got Me Saying Ooh" in 2001. The song only spent four weeks within the UK top 75.
