La La La
Alesha Dixon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and Gentlemen
Are you ready for this one
Let's go

Coming back with a different swag
Flying high with the U.K. flag
I'm in America, brand new tracks
Lady MC with the yardle chat

I'm making delicate diamond hits
Transatlantic rep for the Brits
Can you hear me, 1, 2 check
In a McCartney dress'm I rock with the best

I bit the apple of pop pop music
I've been chained up and incarcerated
Wanna get out, wanna get loud
And if you hear me let me hear you shout

[Chorus]
I'm breaking out, come if you dare
Let's paint this town, hands in the air
It's going down, all night, oh yeah, oh yeah
If you're with me let me hear you sing
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la

I'm hitting new heights bigger and bold
I am an animal that's out of control
It's just how I roll, back to the old Alesha flow
Sit upon de rhythm D.J. spin decks

See the people jump up, see you're impressed

Can you hear me, 1, 2 check
Can you hear me, 1, 2 check

Knocking it down and I'm taking a risk
Pulling it back to the rhythm of this
Back in the club, tearing it up
You wanna see me, yeah you wanna touch

[Chorus]

Sing la, sing la, sing la

It's a party, all the girls be dressed in Bvlgari
Looking out like it's a Safari
Ready to pounce, ready to crank this party
Feeling the treble and feeling the rhythm
And feeling the bass for me
I'm on a new tip, fresh like my lipstick
Cherry bomb the crowd goes ballistic
Don't wanna miss this, yeah you wanna kiss this
I'll be priority on everybody's guest list

If you're with me let me hear you sing

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In "La La La," Alesha Dixon takes on a confident, carefree persona as she spits rhymes about coming back with a different swag, flying high with the U.K. flag and knocking it down while taking risks. She's a Lady MC with the yardle chat making delicate diamond hits and representing the Brits transatlantically. Her lyrics are all about breaking out, letting loose, and having a good time with her squad. Dixon makes reference to the apple of pop pop music, which could suggest that she's been bitten by the bug and is ready to tackle the mainstream market, although she's been incarcerated in some way, preventing her from unleashing her true potential. By the end of the song, though, she's feeling fresh like her lipstick, and the crowd is going ballistic as they join her in singing the "la la la's."

Overall, "La La La" is a declaration of independence, a sexual empowerment anthem, and a celebration of life all rolled into one. Alesha Dixon's energy and positive vibes come through strongly in the lyrics, and the catchy chorus is sure to stick in your head long after you've finished listening to the song.
