Literally Baby
Ball Park Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up into the air
All the circus animals
Open their jaws and wave their shiny fangs at me
As I fly down to you
So come on
Get on top
And jump up and down
Elton John is not the perfect rifle
But you fire him good
You can make a miracle
In her two hands
Let the little animal
Crawl into the room
So come on
Get on top
And jump up and down
Forever
Our bits smash together
Like fresh fruit in the sun
We're not worried
We're just having fun
Our bits smash together
Like fresh fruit in the sun
We're not worried
We're just having fun
Literally baby!
So come on
Get on top
And jump up and down
Forever
Our bits smash together
Like fresh fruit in the sun
We're not worried
We're just having fun
Our bits smash together
Like fresh fruit in the sun
We're not worried
We're just having fun
Literally baby!
The lyrics of Ball Park Music's song "Literally Baby" evoke a fantastical and whimsical imagery, weaving a story of a person who gets shot out of a cannon and flies through a circus only to land next to their lover. The opening lines of "I got shot straight out of a cannon, up into the air" set the tone for the rest of the song, creating a feeling of exhilaration and freedom. The metaphorical language continues with "All the circus animals open their jaws and wave their shiny fangs at me," describing the person's descent to earth.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to the lover to join in the fun, to "get on top" and "jump up and down" "forever." The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the joy and carefreeness of the situation. The bridge of the song switches the focus to the physicality of the encounter between the two lovers. "Our bits smash together like fresh fruit in the sun"—the vivid imagery here contrasts the earlier fantastical imagery by grounding the song in the tangible physical sensation of the lovers.
Overall, "Literally Baby" is a fun, quirky, and playful love song that celebrates the physicality of love and the joy of living in the moment.

I got shot straight out of a cannon
I was propelled at high speed from a cannon
Up into the air
I soared into the sky
All the circus animals
The animals in the circus
Open their jaws and wave their shiny fangs at me
Showing their teeth in excitement and anticipation
As I fly down to you
Heading towards you in flight
Elton John is not the perfect rifle
Elton John is not an ideal weapon
But you fire him good
But you can use him effectively
You can make a miracle
You can achieve something amazing
In her two hands
In her hands
Let the little animal
Allow the small creature
Crawl into the room
To enter the space
Our bits smash together
Our bodies collide
Like fresh fruit in the sun
Like fresh produce under sunlight
We're not worried
We're not concerned
We're just having fun
We're only enjoying ourselves
Literally baby!
Exactly, my dear!
So come on
Don't hesitate
Get on top
Climb up higher
And jump up and down
Bounce energetically
Forever
Indefinitely

I had no idea this song was about getting pregnant until I saw the music video. Can’t tell if I’m just stupid or if the song is cleverly written 🤔

@isaacramos7640
She plays the bass, but as a back-up singer, she's the higher pitch. Ain't that strange
@kermitthehusk4278
Isaac Ramos no not at all. why do you think that? Women only have a set range to sing. unless your being sarcastic idk why you would think that
@danielmazzotti7528
@PieGuy321 Strange isn't really the right word but it's definitely an interesting combo, she fills the lowest and highest parts of the mix simultaneously
