"Give Me Something" is a single released from Australian singer-songwriter Jarryd James. The song was written and produced by Jarryd James and Joel Little. It was released digitally on 18 May 2015[1] and distributed by Universal Music Australia, with whom James signed a deal in early 2015.[2]
Lyrically, James sings about realising someone might not love you as much as you love them and scrambling for a piece of them.[3]
"Give Me Something" debuted at number 68 on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified platinum in 2019.
Mike Wass of Idolator said; "'Give Me Something' is a heady rush of soul-tinged, retro-leaning pop — albeit with an extremely modern twist. Jarryd begs the object of his affection for a little more affection over squiggly synths and squelchy beats. There's a splash of Prince, a touch of Chet Faker and a large serve of something completely original." Wass believes the song is "just as good — if not better than — his breakthrough hit".[4]
Indie Trendsetters said; "Outrageously spunky, punchy, with bold accents and a serious wow factor, Jarryd James hits a magnificent stride with 'Give Me Something'. The organ is skipping, the bass is blaring and Jarryd’s beat-driven falsetto is bringing everything together."[5]
