Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I heard it through the grapevine
Are you drunk? Are you sober?
(Think about it)
Doesn't matter
And if it makes you feel good then I say do it
I don't know what you're waiting for
It's too much heat
I'm gonna lose control
Do you want to go higher?
Get closer to the fire
I don't what you're waiting for
I'm gonna party
(Yeah)
'Cause anybody just won't do
Let's get this started
(Yeah)
'Cause everybody wants to party with you
Boy you got a reputation
But you're gonna have to prove it
I see a little hesitation
Am I gonna have to show ya
That if it feels right
Get on your mark
Step to the beat boy
That's what its for
Put your arms around me
When it gets too hot we can go outside
But for now just come here
Let me whisper in your ear
An invitation to the dance of life
I'm gonna party
(It's a celebration)
'Cause anybody just won't do
Let's get this started
(No more hesitation)
'Cause everybody wants to party with you
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
You look familiar
You wanna dance?
Yeah
I guess I just don't recognize you with your clothes on
What are you waiting for?
I'm gonna party
(It's a celebration)
'Cause anybody just won't do
Let's get this started
(No more hesitation)
'Cause everybody wants to party with you
Come join the party
(It's a celebration)
'Cause anybody just won't do
Let's get this started
(No more hesitation)
'Cause everybody wants to party with you
Boy you got it
(It's a celebration)
'Cause anybody just won't do
Let's get it started
(No more hesitation)
'Cause everybody wants to party with you
Boy you got it
'Cause anybody just won't do
Let's get it started
(No more hesitation)
'Cause everybody wants to party with you
The lyrics to Akon ft Madonna's song "Celebration" convey a strong desire to have a good time and let loose. The singer is inviting someone to come over and join the party, suggesting that if it makes them feel good, they should just do it without hesitation. The lines, "Feel my temperature rising, It's too much heat, I'm gonna lose control, Do you want to go higher?" are a metaphor for the excitement and anticipation of the party, and the singer is urging the other person to join in on the fun. The lyric, "Let me whisper in your ear, An invitation to the dance of life" suggests that the party symbolizes the joy and celebration of life, and that the singer wants to share that experience with others.
The lyrics also have a playful sexual undertone, as seen in the lines, "I guess I just don't recognize you with your clothes on, What are you waiting for?" The song suggests a carefree and hedonistic approach to partying, as the singer encourages the other person to forget their inhibitions and just have a good time. The repetition of the phrase "It's a celebration, 'cause anybody just won't do" reinforces the idea that this is a special occasion, and that the people at the party are there for a reason.
