Not Myself Tonight
Christina Aguilera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control
Is this me
You wanna get crazy
Because I don't give a

I'm out of character
I'm in rare form
And If you really knew me
You'd know its not the norm

'Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
The old me's gone I feel brand new
And if you don't like it fuck you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care 'cause this is my night

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm dancing a lot and I'm taking shots and I'm feeling fine
I'm kissing all the boys and the girls
Someone call the doctor 'cause I lost my mind

'Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
The old me's gone I feel brand new
And if you don't like it fuck you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

In the morning
When I wake up
I'll go back to the girl I used to be
But baby not tonight

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

Yeah, that feels good
I needed that
Get crazy
Let's go
That's right
Come on
Give it to me now, don't stop

Overall Meaning

"Not Myself Tonight" is a song by American singer Christina Aguilera released in 2010. The song is all about Christina being in a different persona that she is not used to. She feels like she is out of control and not herself, and she wants to get crazy. Christina sings about being in rare form and how if people really knew her, they would know that this behavior is not the norm. She does things that she would not typically do, and the old Christina is gone, and she feels brand new. She does not care if anybody likes it or not because it is her night, and she is having fun.


The song is about being free, living in the moment, and enjoying life. It is a celebration of breaking free of a mundane, monotonous lifestyle and embracing the unexpected. The lyrics are a declaration of pure, shameless fun, and living life to the fullest, without consequences or judgment. The song's upbeat tempo and danceable beat serve to inspire listeners to throw all caution to the wind and become someone new, even if just for one night.
