"Don't Give It Up" is the first single by Siobhán Donaghy, taken from her second solo album Ghosts.
It was the first song to appear on her MySpace page and was not intended as a single release. It was later confirmed to be released as the first single because of fan praise.

The song has been received well by her fans and by former Sugababes member Mutya Buena, because it is very different from other music genres. The song was added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist under the C list on March 29, 2007.
The single peaked at #45 in the United Kingdom, falling to #79 in the second week.
The music video for "Don't Give It Up" was directed by Sophie Muller, and was shot in various towns including Marrakech, Essaouira, El Jadida and also in mountains. The video became available to music channels in late February.
Popjustice - website reviewed the song saying: "Siobhan has instead embraced pretty dresses and superior songs. Very wise. Even allowing for the video's more distracting moments - writhing around in said pretty dresses - this is a Massive Attack-style piece of complete brilliance."
