Stick Around
Akon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the lights cool down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
When the high is over
And we sober down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
I know we just met
But there's something here
I can tell we got it
We like a classic song
I been singing all night long
And it goes like
Oh my love
My darling
When we sober up
Will you still be mine?
When the party's over
And the lights go down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
When the high is over
And we sober down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
When the party's over
And the lights go down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around (stick around)
When the high is over
And we sober down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
I know we just met
I know we just started
But there's something here
I can tell we got it
We like a classic song
I been singing all night long
And it go like
Oh my love
My darling
When we sober up
Will you still be mine?
When the party's over
And the lights go down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
When the high is over
And we sober down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
So please stay over (stay over)
Take care of you through your hangover
Let's make love through the moonlight until the daylight
And we both think back like, what a night
Let you decide, alright
When the party's over
And the lights go down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
When the high is over
And we sober down
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
The party's over
The lights go down
Hoping that you stick around
Oh, sober down
Hoping that you stick around
Akon and Matoma's song "Stick Around" is a catchy and upbeat pop track that centers around the desire for a new love interest to stay even after the party ends. The song celebrates the possibility of a more meaningful connection between the two individuals after the party is over and they are left alone, hoping that they will stick around. This is exemplified by the chorus where the singer asks his lover if they will still be his after the night is over and the party has ended.
The upbeat tempo and melody of the song contrast with the lyrics' seriousness, specifically the question posed to the lover, as it displays the singer's desire for something more in their relationship. The lyrics speak to the idea that a true connection with someone can often start during a night out, but it can't be fully realized until both have sobered up and the lights have gone down. Essentially, the song is asking if the two individuals can keep the party going and continue their connection once the buzz of the music and the drinks have died down.
Overall, "Stick Around" is a song about hope and optimism when it comes to building a new relationship. It celebrates the promise of something more between two people who have just met and the potential for a deeper connection once the party is over.

When the party's over
When the fun and excitement come to an end
And the lights cool down
As the bright lights gradually fade away
When everybody go I'm hoping that you stick around
I am counting on you to stay even after everyone else leaves
When the high is over
Once the feeling of exhilaration subsides
And we sober down
As the effects of alcohol or drugs wear off
I know we just met
Although we have only recently been introduced
I know we just started
Although our relationship is just beginning
But there's something here
I sense a strong connection between us
I can tell we got it
I am sure that we have chemistry
We like a classic song
Our love is timeless, like a beloved melody
I been singing all night long
I have been thinking about you constantly
And it goes like
And this is what it sounds like
Oh my love
My dear and beloved partner
My darling
My cherished and beloved companion
When we sober up
When we are no longer under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Will you still be mine?
Will you stay by my side and continue to love me?
So please stay over (stay over)
Please spend the night with me
Take care of you through your hangover
I will be there to comfort you when you wake up feeling unwell
Let's make love through the moonlight until the daylight
Let us express our love for each other all night long
And we both think back like, what a night
We will both remember this night fondly
Let you decide, alright
I respect your decision either way
The party's over
The festivities have ended
The lights go down
The bright lights have faded
Hoping that you stick around
I hope you will stay with me
Oh, sober down
As the effects of drugs or alcohol wear off
Hoping that you stick around
I hope you will continue to stand by me
