This song was co-created and recorded by Mark Verbz with Los Angeles artist Chelsea Sykes.
Working from the music demo, Chelsea was inspired at night by a recent trip he made to Las Vegas and write the entire lyrics overnight.
The story is about the Sin City and its unbearable magnetic attraction.
The duo recorded all vocals, guitars and keyboards together during a full weekend session and Mark finalized the mix in the engineering studio.

Live it Up - lyrics:
I have met a crazy town
With stories to tell & dreams to sell
And I'm looking at everyone
Hey here’s John, She's the one on the strip
Just for fun, Here we go
He said, honey help me out, in the middle of desire
It's a wicked town with love it's designed
Long gone my money's been gone
Here the girl comes now, here the girl comes now,
And it's over
We don’t want to leave this town
Every time we walk the line
Can we live it up, live it up, this time
Every time we cross the line
Where love is now, but it's not enough
Can we live it up, live it up
Can we live it up, live it up
Staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night
We could dial and get whatever you desire
Long gone our dreams for Love
You can lose it all in a blink of an eye
Help me out in the middle of desire
It's a wicked town with love it's designed
Long gone my money's been gone
Here the girl comes now, Here the girl comes now, And it’s over
We don’t want to leave this town
Every time we walk the line
Can we live it up, live it up, live it up
Every time we cross the line
Where love is now, but it's not enough
Can we live it up, live it up
Can we live it up, live it up
Every time we cross the line (we can live it up)
Where love is now, but it's not enough (we can live it up)
Can we live it up, live it up, can we live it up
We don’t want to leave this town (we can live it up)
Every time we walk the line (we can live it up)
Can we live it up, live it up, Can we live it up, live it up
Every time we cross the line (we can live it up)
Where love is now, but it's not enough (we can live it up)
Can we live it up, live it up
Can we live it up
