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 stated in an interview for the fanclub magazine 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 2011's studio album C'mon. According to Tak, there are many unused songs that didn't make the record. These two were chosen in particular because they provided balance to the A-side of the single.
