Digital spy writer Amy Davidson stated: "Demi Lovato is the chosen one to foot tap her way through folk-driven collaboration 'Up', and Murs has made no bones about their hopes to expand their respective audiences on either side of the Atlantic. However, the predictable lyrics, which roll out unoriginal sentiments about the merits of perseverance, make it a duet that's difficult to get too excited over." <ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/review/a610271/olly-murs-never-been-better-album-review.html#~p1C1KP2SqvqO2L digitalspy.co.uk] - Up review</ref> |

Lyrics
I drew a broken heart
Right on your window pane
Waited for your reply
Here in the pouring rain
Just breathe against the glass
Leave me some kind of sign
I know the hurt won't pause yeah
Just tell me it's not the end of the line
Just tell me it's not the end of the line
I never meant to break your heart
I won't let this play go down
I never meant to make you cry
Do what it takes to make this fly
You gotta hold on
Hold on to what you're feeling
That feeling is the best thing
The best thing alright
I'm gonna place my bet on us
I know this love is heading in the same direction
And that's up
You're true a question mark
But you know what I want
I wanna turn the clock yeah
Right back to where it was
So let's a build a bridge yeah
From your side to mine
I'll be the one to cross over
Just tell me it's not the end of the line
Just tell me it's not the end of the line
I never meant to break your heart
I won't let this play go down
I never meant to make you cry
Do what it takes to make this fly
You gotta hold on
Hold on to what you're feeling
That feeling is the best thing
The best thing alright
I'm gonna place my bet on us
I know this love is heading in the same direction
And that's up
Girl I know we could climb back to where we were then
Feel it here in my heart
Put my back in your hand
Well I hope and I pray that you do understand
If you did all you have to say is
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm waiting for you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I never meant to break your heart
I won't let this play go down
I never meant to make you cry
Do what it takes to make this fly
You gotta hold on
Hold on to what you're feeling
That feeling is the best thing
The best thing alright
I'm gonna place my bet on us
I know this love is heading in the same direction
And that's up
