"Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" was the third single from Lungs, the 2009 debut by the English band Florence and the Machine, and it went out that June on Island and Moshi Moshi. Florence Welch wrote it with producer Paul Epworth, with Lizzi Bougatsos, Brian Degraw, Tim Dewit and Josh Diamond also on the credit, and it borrows elements of Gang Gang Dance's "House Jam".
Epworth is all over the recording, playing piano, organ, synthesizer and percussion, while Christopher Lloyd Hayden drums and Tom Moth plays harp under Welch's lead vocal. Cenzo Townshend mixed it. It climbed to number 12 on the UK Singles Chart, and Jamie T was among the many remixers who took a crack at it.
