Next Thing
B Katy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t sit down
There’s so many things to do round here
Let me show you around
Bust in late and
Then we’re out the door
Keep them waiting
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
'Til the break of dawn
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
I’ll show you how to make a scene
Follow my lead
Give them something to remember us
Before we leave
Don't leave money
'Cause we put on the show
Causing chaos
Everywhere we go
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
'Til the break of dawn
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
'Til the break of dawn
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
We are the creators and the troublemakers
Coming when we hear the sound
The instigators, love us or you hate us
You’ll be seeing us around
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
Til the break of dawn
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
Then we’re on to the next thing
Til the break of dawn
We’ll be on to the next thing
Leave them wanting more
The lyrics to B Katy's "Next Thing" tell the story of a night out with friends who are determined to make the most of their time and leave a lasting impression. The song begins with the instruction to "keep your jacket on" and stay active because there are "so many things to do." The singer then takes charge, making a grand entrance by arriving late, and then quickly leaving to make the others waiting for more. The repeated refrain of "on to the next thing" emphasizes the relentless energy of this group, and their desire to stay out all night and cause chaos wherever they go.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more of a leader, showing her friend "how to make a scene" and giving everyone "something to remember" before they leave. The lyrics suggest that the ultimate goal is to be remembered, to leave a lasting impression on the people they encounter, and to establish themselves as "creators and troublemakers" who will continue to "instigate" and cause "chaos" wherever they go. It's a song about youthful exuberance, freedom, and the thrill of living on the edge.
Line by Line Meaning
Keep your jacket on, my friend
Stay ready, we have a lot planned
Don’t sit down
We don't have time for complacency
There’s so many things to do round here
There's always something new to experience
Let me show you around
I'm the guide, trust me
Bust in late and
Enter the scene with a bang
Then we’re out the door
Don't stay in one place too long
Keep them waiting
Let them anticipate our arrival
Then leave them wanting more
Leave a lasting impression
We’ll be on to the next thing
We're constantly moving forward
Leave them wanting more
Make them crave for more
Til the break of dawn
We won't stop until morning
I’ll show you how to make a scene
I know how to grab attention
Follow my lead
Trust me, I know what I'm doing
Give them something to remember us
Leave a lasting impression on everyone we meet
Before we leave
Make it count while we're here
Don't leave money
Money isn't our objective
Cause chaos
Shake things up, create some excitement
Everywhere we go
We leave our mark everywhere
We are the creators and the troublemakers
We're not afraid to disrupt the norm and create our own path
Coming when we hear the sound
We're always ready for what's next
The instigators, love us or you hate us
We're not afraid to be polarizing
You’ll be seeing us around
We're not going away anytime soon
