"Animal" is a song by British singer Conor Maynard from his debut studio album, Contrast.

It was released as the album's fourth single as a digital download on 20 January 2013, featuring vocals from English rapper, MC, songwriter, record producer and recording artist Wiley (also known as "The Godfather of Grime").

[1] The song was written by Conor Maynard, The Invisible Men, Sophie Stern, Kurtis McKenzie, Joey Dyer, Jon Mills and produced by The Invisible Men, The Arcade.

The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 34 on 20 January 2013, climbing twenty-eight places the following week to number 6, becoming Maynard's third highest-charting single.

[2] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, praising its "militant beats and wall-bouncing synths", and saying: Despite his sex-charged pleas to "mess me up" being at odds with his boyish charm, 12 months on we're still standing by our judgement that Conor is one of pop's most exciting new stars.
