Man Up!

Man Up, commonly stylized as "Man Up!" is the fourth song from the Ride Or Die Btch mixtape from DJ Kids These Days. It is the first song from the mixtape that features any true vocal/lyrical parts. This is the last song released before the abrupt hiatus of development for the summer mixtape. It features a sample of an unknown man shouting, "take the dress off, and man up!" This is referring to Malone's regret of not trying to be more masculine as a child, and pursuing the stereotypical "guy's guy" persona.

Background
"Man Up" was released the day after the first three singles from the mixtape were posted on the DJ Kids These Days Soundcloud profile. With it came the formal annoucement of A Censored Sunlight's hiatus from producing the summer EP, due to planning for the Midnight Fission tour, as well as the specialty show, Fantastical Monarchy and The Crown Jewels. Malone described his reasoning behind taking a break from the project:

"I warned everyone that Kids These Days was just a side project that I was having fun with. Getting my A Censored Sunlight record out is still my top priority, and I have a tour coming up, and there just really isn't time for me to be producing these electro tracks and planning shows. Finding venues is challenging enough. I can guarantee it [Ride Or Die Btch] will be out within the next few months, though."

Audience Response
"Man Up" was the least played of all the tracks from the Ride Or Die Btch mixtape, despite the so-called "better production value" contributed by Malone. The track "Motorcycle Heart" remained the most popular of all the tracks.
