Ted Nugent wrote "Live It Up" with Derek St. Holmes for Cat Scratch Fever, his third album, which Epic let loose on May 13, 1977. St. Holmes had walked out during the Free-for-All sessions, rejoined for the road in 1976, and was back as the main lead singer on this record.
Tom Werman, Lew Futterman and Cliff Davies share the production credit, with Tim Geelan and Wayne Tarnowski engineering. It was also the last Nugent studio album with Rob Grange on bass, and a big seller that went multi-platinum; AllMusic's Greg Prato later called the whole thing a "first-rate set of brash hard rockers".
