"GO FOR IT, BABY -Kioku no Sanmyaku-" (GO FOR IT, BABY -キオクの山脈-, GO FOR IT, BABY -Mountains of Memories-) is the fiftieth single by B'z, released on April 4, 2012. It is the first single to be released after the band had wrapped up their album tour B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 -C'mon- from the previous year.
Production for the new single was already underway in November 2011. Koshi says that he did not give it much thought that this single is going to be the band's 50th one. Therefore, they did not really have something special in mind for it.
Koshi worked very closely with Tak when writing the lyrics for the part he is supposed to sing. This also marks the first time for Tak to sing a part in a B'z song.
The B-sides Honoka Naru Hi and Ryuusei Mask were drawn from leftovers that did not make it onto their album C'mon. According to Tak, there are a lot of unused songs that didn't make it onto the album. These two were chosen in particular because they provide a good balance with the A-side of the single.
