Their music began a new era of electronica, first introduced by the work of Benny Benassi on his debut album, Hypnotica. He infused The Biz with fresh ideas inspired by the trance genre. The result is a blend of cutting-edge electro house: going back to basics, while also giving it a brand new twist.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Play the music, play the music
Play the music, play the music
Play the music, play the music
You got the love I like
I got to have you now
You're my emotions
Baby please
Why don't you understand
I only want to be your friend
You are my sweet release
I got to have you now
You are my affection
Don't leave me breakin' down
Everybody in the world should hear what I'm saying
Cause I wanna scream it to the world today
Turn me up up up up up up up
Turn me down
Turn me down
Turn me down
Turn me down
Play the music, play the music
Play the music, play the music …
You are the man for me
I got to have you now
You got the power
Don't leave me on the ground
Touch me babe
You really turn me on
No no don't leave me on my own!
You are my one desire
I got to have you now
I need your action
I'm gonna say it loud
Everybody in the world should hear what I'm saying
'Cause I wanna scream it to the world today
Turn me up up up up up up up
Turn me down
Turn me down
Turn me down
Turn me down
The lyrics of Benassi Bros feat. Azibiza's song Turn Me Up are about a person who is infatuated with another and they just can't resist being around them. The opening lines of the song are repetitions of "play the music" which sets the scene. The singer then professes their love interest with "You got the love I like, I got to have you now." They describe their emotions and how they can't turn away from this person. They then say "baby please, why don't you understand, I only want to be your friend" which suggests that maybe the love isn't reciprocated. However, the singer still wants to be with them and they are willing to scream it out to the world.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "turn me up" to amplify the singer's desire to be closer to the love interest. They go from wanting to be friends to "you are the man for me, I got to have you now". They beg for the love interest to touch them and turn them on, indicating that they are willing to take things further. They end the song by belting out that they need this love in their life.
Overall, the song is about a person who has fallen completely for another and they are begging for them to take notice and reciprocate their feelings. It showcases the desperation and the passion one might have when they are in love.
