Last Friday Night ★
★Katy Perry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a stranger in my bed
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbies on the barbecue
This a hickey or a bruise?

Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn

Last Friday night
Yeah, we danced on tabletops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed, but I forgot

Last Friday night
Yeah, we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard

Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois
Last Friday night
Yeah, I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Oh whoa

This Friday night
Do it all again
This Friday night
Do it all again

Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier is on the floor
Ripped my favorite party dress
Warrant's out for my arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail

Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn

Last Friday night
Yeah, we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed, but I forgot

Last Friday night
Yeah, we maxed our credits card
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevards

Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois
Last Friday night
Yeah, I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Oh whoa

This Friday night
Do it all again (do it all again)
This Friday night
Do it all again (do it all again)
This Friday night

T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.

Last Friday night
Yeah, we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots

Last Friday night

We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois

Always say we're gonna stop-op
Oh whoa

Overall Meaning

"Last Friday Night" is a party anthem by Katy Perry, where she sings about a wild night of partying that involves drinking excessively, dancing on tabletops, and engaging in a threesome. The lyrics describe the morning after, where Perry wakes up with a stranger in her bed, a pounding headache, and glitter all over the room. She feels embarrassed and confused about the events of the night, as evidenced by the line "Trying to connect the dots, don't know what to tell my boss." Throughout the song, Perry reminisces about the fun she had and suggests that she may do it all again the following Friday night. The song is a celebration of youthful recklessness and exuberance and has a very infectious, upbeat melody that encourages listeners to dance and sing along.

Last Friday night
On the previous Friday night

Yeah, we danced on tabletops

Then had sex with two other people

Yeah, I think we broke the law
I'm pretty sure we did something illegal

Always say we're gonna stop-op

This Friday night
On this Friday night

Do it all again (do it all again)
Repeat everything we did before

T.G.I.F.
Thank God It's Friday
