Description

Kraken Up is, like mostSquid Squad songs, a fast-paced rock song with prominent drums and guitar. The song mostly features singing to accompany the backing instruments but also includes some short instrumental sections on synthesizer, the latter of which is played alongside the vocals. This is followed by a rap section with slightly stripped-back instruments which plays twice before the first sung line is played again and the song loops.Kraken Up is one of the five battle songs released withSplatoon at launch. Like all battle songs, it has a random chance of being played during online matches. It can also be heard inSquid Beatz, and is included inSplatune. InSplatoon 3, this song can sometimes play in thelobby.
