Gone are the days dimana Conor Maynard harus bersanding sengit dengan sesosok Justin Bieber. Lihat nih, di single terbarunya 'Animal', ia memberikan pandangan kepada orang ke arah mana ia sebenarnya berlayar. Ia tidak segan untuk berpijak di atas lahan pop, namun ia ingin menenggelamkan diri ke area musik kulit hitam, urban dan R&B. Sehingga corak ini yang akan lebih mendominasi musiknya kelak.
'Animal' sudah terkenal sebagai salah satu track dengan beat tergila dalam album "Contrast". Ini semakin dibuat gila dengan remix yang diadakan untuk versi single. Semangat yang sudah dikandungnya kian membuncah. Ditambah kehadiran rapper Wiley yang membuat niatan untuk terjun ke arah black music tadi lebih nyata. Orang-orang di balik layar single ini sama persis dengan yang pernah menyanyikan 'Can't Say No', hanya tim produksi The Arcade yang bertambah. Dari merekalah pastinya hadir the specific sick beat of the song! Uniknya lagi, chorus pertama lagu dengan chorus kedua diaransemen beda. Chorus kedua lebih menghentak dibanding yang pertama. Ada penyurutan yang dilakukan di chorus pertama, memandu pendengar untuk mendapatkan kejelasan vokal Conor.
Conor beberapa kali memunculkan lagu yang "mengangungkan" kaum hawa. Kali ini ia berserah diri pada cewek yang cenderung mendominasi hubungan. "Mess me up so good until I'm begging for more". It sound so annoying, but I so wanna dance each time I hear this song. Tak peduli deskripsi cinta yang ganas dalam lirik yang dinyanyikan agak mengganggu, karena musiknya membuat lupa akan hal itu.

LYRIC
Looking for a girl that was here but now she's gone,
Felt so good even though she did me wrong,
She knows what I want but she's bad for me,
She gets what she wants when she's touching me,
I shoulda known better but she took my self control,
You can take my heart like a criminal,
Won't you make me believe I'm the only one?
So grab me by the neck and don't you ever let go,
Mess me up so good until I'm begging for more,
You tear me apart like an animal...
Like an animal, animal,
I know I'm getting close from the trail of broken hearts,
Hope she coming back to finish what she started,
I never see the claws until she's touching me,
She's holding me so tight it's getting hard to breath,
I'll never win the game but it feels too good to care,
You can take my heart like a criminal,
(Like a criminal, like a criminal)
Won't you make me believe I'm the only one?
(I'm the only one, I'm the only one)
So grab me by the neck and don't you ever let go,
Mess me up so good until I'm begging for more,
You tear me apart like an animal...
Like an animal, animal,
Take me to the dark and don't you ever let go,
I like it when you treat me like an animal,
Take me to the dark and don't you ever let go,
I like it when you treat me like an animal,
Take me to the dark and don't you ever let go,
I like it when you treat me like an animal,
Take me to the dark and don't you ever let go,
I like it when you treat me like an animal,
(You can take my heart like a criminal)
So grab me by the neck and don't you ever let go,
Mess me up so good until I'm begging for more,
You tear me apart like an animal...
Like an animal, animal.
