From the opening riff to the final chorus, “Give It Up (Never Gonna)” delivers everything fans of classic rock crave: scorching guitars, shimmering synths, and a chorus made to be shouted at full volume. It is a song that does not hide its influences - instead, it embraces them, channelling the energy and excess of an era when rock ruled the world.

“This track is an anthem for anyone who refuses to quit.”,” says Edan H. “It is about resilience, defiance, and staying true to yourself. I did not want to reinvent anything here. I wanted to make something that could’ve come straight off a cassette in 1987, windows down, volume up.”

Reflecting on the track’s roots, Edan opens up about the dual musical influences that shaped his sound: “Growing up, I was torn between two very different sounds - the heavy riffs of Priest and Sabbath, and the glitzy ‘hair bands’ of the Sunset Strip. With my first solo EP, Back to Eden, I focused on the heavier side, trying to capture the sound I would’ve made in my teens. These days, my style blends both, but with 'Give It Up,' I wanted to go all-in on that glossy, big-hook, leather-and-hairspray kind of rock. Honestly, watching the final season of Cobra Kai got me back into that headspace - it was like flipping a switch!”

“Give It Up (Never Gonna)” is a love letter to a louder, flashier time - crafted by someone who grew up in the era, absorbed every note, and never forgot the way it made them feel. No modern twist. No reinvention. Just pure, fist-in-the-air rock and roll!

Fans of Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and H.E.A.T, this is one track you do not want to miss.
