How is 'Go for It' correctly capitalised?

Hello!

How is this title of a song correctly capitalised: "Go for It"? I'm particularly interested in "for" — should it be capitalised or not?

By the rules of title capitalisation, it seems to be that it should not be capitalised, but everywhere on the Internet where that song is mentioned, it is (or all the letters are capitalised).

Thank you!

It is not an important consideration. As you suggest, short common function words are not normally capitalized in titles, but be guided by the official title (check the artist's website, for instance).

Well, Wikipedia is not a reliable source for details, and the cover title is in all caps. I suggest using the capital letter as is used on the official Joey B. Ellis website:

Oh, thanks for finding the official homepage.

Although it doesn't seem like he's written the text there. For example, "About Me" article is written from a third person's point of view. And they're writing titles like this: "Go For It ", "Thought U Were The One For Me" and "All U Gotta Do Is Sing", "Respect Urself", "Tell me Why" etc.
