Source-derived summary

"I Get Up" is a song by Australian rock band INXS, released as a non-album single on 10 November 2003. The song was written by Andrew Farriss and Jon Stevens, and was the first new material by INXS since their former frontman, Michael Hutchence, committed suicide on 22 November 1997. Former Noiseworks lead singer Stevens had recently joined the band as lead singer, and the song is the only studio material recorded by INXS with Stevens on vocals. Stevens resigned from INXS by the end of 2003 because of "differing views" about the band's future.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “I Get Up”, the useful work is to connect “2003 single by INXS” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 12, 2026. The first chronological checks are 2003 and 1997.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
