Man Up by Hailee Steinfeld Song Info
“Man Up” is the forth track on the EP "Half Written Story" and released on the 8th of March 2020 which, along the other songs in this EP, is a part of an upcoming debut album by Hailee Steinfeld. "'Those two words came out of a conversation I’d had with my dad. I was on the East Coast, he was West Coast with my family, and I was going through it. He gives great advice, so I’d call him to talk things out. One day we were going back and forth about my situation—like, just when I thought my relationship couldn’t get any more absurd, this guy would take it to the next level—and at one point, my dad just said, ‘This kid’s got to man up.’ Obviously I know the phrase can be thrown around in ways people have different feelings about, but generally, in this song, it just means ‘grow up.’ Hold yourself accountable. Own up to your mistakes. Be an adult. I have to say, I had so much fun making this song, especially when we started experimenting and, like, Auto-Tuning the babies in the background. It’s this fun record that represents that time of a breakup where you’re still a little pissed off but you’re gaining your confidence back and feeling your attitude.'" – Hailee Steinfeld via Apple Music
