Give Me Something (Yoko Ono song)

"Give Me Something" was written by Yoko Ono and produced by Ono and Jack Douglas. Ono stated in an interview that "Give Me Something" was written as a "feeling that I had about society. [...] We’re all getting very cold now as a society." Ono further explained the song's theme of coldness to Spinner: "I remember I was envisioning a gray, cold city with people walking with hands in their pockets and putting the collars of their coats up."{{cite web|last=Eisen|first=Benjy|title=Yoko Ono, 'Give Me Something' (Sparks Reinvention) -- Song Premiere|url=http://www.spinner.com/2010/05/19/yoko-ono-give-me-something-sparks-reinvention-song-premi/|work=Spinner|access-date=28 July 2011|date=19 May 2010}}

Larry Fitzmaurice from Pitchfork Media described the original version as a "spiky new-wave tune featuring a particularly angry vocal performance," but commented that the Junior Boys "smooth out some of the tune's rougher edges, morphing Ono's cries into elastic bursts and turning the track into a Danceteria-worthy disco jam."{{cite web|last=Fitzmaurice|first=Larry|title=Pitchfork: Forkcast: Yoko Ono: "Give Me Something" (Junior Boys Remix)|url=http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/14175-give-me-something-junior-boys-remix/|work=Pitchfork Media|access-date=28 July 2011|date=15 April 2010}}

The song became Yoko Ono's fourth consecutive number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club chart.
