"Roll Up Your Sleeves" is a song recorded by Australian singer Meg Mac for her extended play, MegMac. The song was released for digital download on 1 July 2014.[1] "Roll Up Your Sleeves" gave Mac her first ARIA Charts entry, peaking at number 80. The song was voted in at number 24 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2014.
In an interview with Rolling Stone Australia, Mac described the song saying; “I feel like I wrote this song from myself to myself as some sort of reminder. Doing the right thing is hard and sometimes it is way easier to pretend you don't give a shit. Deep down I think we all give a shit and that everything has to be alright if you want it to be. I do really believe that.” [2]
Meg also said it is the quickest song she has ever written.[3]
The song placed second in the 2014 Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition.[4]
