Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it like oh my God
Jump off that sofa, let's get, get off

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out and losing all control

Fill up my cup, Mazel Tov
Look at her dancing, just take it off
Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof, and then we'll do it again

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
And do it and do it, let's live it up
And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it

Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo,
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Tonight's the night (Hey! )
Let's live it up (Let's live it up)
I got my money (My pay)
Let's spend it up (Let's spend it up)

Go out and smash it (Smash it)
Like oh my God (Like oh my God)
Jump off that sofa (Come on!)
Let's get, get off

Fill up my cup (Drink)
Mazel Tov (L’chaim)
Look at her dancing (Move it, move it)
Just take it off

Let's paint the town (Paint the town)
We'll shut it down (Let's shut it down)
Let's burn the roof
And then we'll do it again

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
And do it and do it, let's live it up
And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, do it, do it, do it

Here we come, here we go, we gotta rock (Rock rock rock rock rock)
Easy come, easy go, now we on top (Top top top top top)
Feel the shot, body rock, rock it, don't stop (Stop stop stop stop stop)
Round and round, up and down, around the clock (Rock rock rock rock rock)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday
Get, get, get, get, get with us, you know what we say, say
Party every day, p-p-p-party every day

And I'm feelin', woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feelin', woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night




That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night, woohoo

Overall Meaning

The Black Eyed Peas' anthem "I Gotta Feeling" is a jam-packed dance hit that exudes positivity and excitement. The lyrics revolve around the idea that tonight is going to be a good night and the band urges the listener to live it up and enjoy themselves. The chorus repeats the phrase "I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night" four times and is followed by the lyrics "let's live it up" and "let's get, get off," which are meant to encourage listeners to leave their stress behind and have a great time.


The song emphasizes the power of positive thinking and the importance of living in the moment. The lyrics also suggest that the listener should surround themselves with good company, fill up their cup with whatever brings them joy, and dance the night away. The song frames the night as an opportunity to forget about the stress and worries of life and fully immerse oneself in the present.

@RyanTheDark

I'm 19. I remember when they played this back in elementary. The late 2000 and early 2010 era is the goat.

@LilXancheX

@@RyanTheDarkI was in 6th grade, and went with my middle school homies to this church dance 😂
And they had this shit playing. Back when I was in love with my friends sister, I tried asking her out but she rejected me, she’s now married to some fat guy. And back when we had a friend group. Always going to the mall on weekends lol. Time flies
