Jessie J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You're like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm 'bout to explode
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know you spin me out of control

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We can do this all night
Damn this love is skin tight
Baby come on
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino

You got me losing my mind
My heart beats out of time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You strum me like a guitar
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause your taking me there
Don't you know you spin me out of control

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We can do this all night
Damn this love is skin tight
Baby come on
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino

Ooh baby, baby, got me feelin' so right
Ooh baby, baby, dancin' in the moonlight

Ooh baby, baby, got me feelin' so right
Ooh baby, baby

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino

Overall Meaning

In Jessie J's "Domino," the singer describes the feeling of being swept up in a joyful and passionate love affair. She feels free and alive, like glitter is raining on her as she's with her lover. The metaphor of being a domino represents how she's completely falling for him, losing her mind and heartbeat in the process. The intense sexual tension between them is palpable, and Jessie J can taste it like a cloud of smoke in the air. She compares herself to an electric guitar that her lover is strumming, further emphasizing the intense chemistry they share. The chorus is a declaration of how she's fully surrendering to this relationship, and every moment they spend together feels like a highlight.


Throughout the song, Jessie J uses energetic and dynamic imagery to convey the intense emotions she's feeling. The use of glitter, Hollywood stars, and dirty dancing in the moonlight creates a sense of excitement and glamour. Her play on words with "skin tight" is a clever way of suggesting how intimate their relationship is while simultaneously being a playful and catchy lyric. Ultimately, "Domino" is a fun and upbeat song that celebrates the feeling of falling head over heels in love.

It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans. All the idols of yours, you hear them as a deaf or actually taking a listen?
GOD – the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.


To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.

Nostalgia is like drugs, it makes you feel great but afterwards you... you almost realize nothing will ever be the same as that feeling. You will never feel the happiness that you just felt. It’s a hard pill to swallow. You can try to relive the simpler times but you just keep getting older, it keeps getting harder. I’m addicted to this feeling and I’ve been trying so hard to relive it but with the stress of everything... you can’t. I’ve watched countless early 2000’s songs, it works for a little but then I just go back into extreme sadness. It gets worse every video I watch. We have to continue having making memories so when these songs die out and fade away, forgotten and lost in a sea of videos. We can surely say that we’ve had a good run.






But hey, at least we laughed, smiled, and were care free as we heard these songs on the radio in the backseat of your parents car. We didn’t know how stressful and terrible the world was, but we didn’t care. We could be who we wanted to be without responsibilities. Without the fear of growing older. Not a care in the world
But as a very intelligent bear once said,
“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we were just having fun”
-Winne The Pooh

I feel that she deserved more recognition in the music industry. Her songs are so iconic for the 2000s music

@snorkeldawg4555

Unfortunately it’s kind of a forgotten decade

@mal3nko

This was released in 2011, not the 2000s lol.

@TheOutlanderReport

I feel like Max Martin (and dr. Luke) is getting exactly the amount of attention and recognition he wants from the industry :D
