I dare you
(Leggo, leggo, leggo, leggo)
All of my life, too late
Till you showed up with perfect timing
Now here we are, you rock it
Our fingers are stuck in the socket
It's just the nature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover, from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober
Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor
La la la la la

(Leggo, leggo)
Of all the millions on the planet
You're the one who's keeping me on it
You know I like you, ain't nobody's business
Your blue Spanish eyes are my witness
It's just the nature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover, from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober
Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

The lyrics of "Come Together" by Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Shakira, and Usher are a declaration of love, daring the significant other to do things that will prove their love. The opening lines describe the perfect timing of the meeting of two people, suggesting that fate brought them together. They are stuck in that moment, as if their fingers are stuck in a socket. The lyrics suggest that love is a game, and the couple is ready to play it again and again. The song revolves around the "truth or dare" game played on a dance floor, where the lovers are daring each other to prove their love with the world watching.
The chorus asks the all-important question, "Is it true that you love me?" and daring the other person to kiss them. The second verse describes the unique and rare nature of the love they share, and how the other person is the only one who can keep them rooted to the planet. The bridge further dares the lover to "touch me," emphasizing the physicality of the relationship. The song ends on the same daring note as it begins, with the lyrics "I dare you," challenging the significant other once again.

Blake Shelton really pulled off Shakira’s song. And Shakira beautifully executed Blake’s song. Not many people can pull it off. Kudos to those two. All judges sounded amazing tho.
