Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (hah hah)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (hah hah)
If you can't make me say, ooh
Like the beat of this drum
Why you ask for some? You really want none
If you can't make me say, ooh (ooh ooh)
Like the beat of this groove
You don't have no business in this
Here's your papers
Baby you are dismissed
Everybody give it up for the beautiful Kelly
And the beautiful Michelle
We love you
My girl B is killing it tonight
I'm so happy y'all are here tonight
Do y'all remember this song?
The lyrics of Beyoncé's song Lose My Breath are about an intense desire and passion between two people. The singer challenges her lover to keep up and push her to her limits. The chorus repeatedly asks the question "Can you keep up?" implying the need for the partner to match her level of energy and sexually arouse her to the point where she's short of breath. She wants him to hit her hard, and bring the noise to make her lose control. If he cannot do this, she dismisses him, stating that he has no business being in her life.
The song is suggestive and is believed to be about the early stages of a romantic relationship where physical attraction reigns supreme. The lyrics present an image of sexual empowerment, showcasing a confident woman who is in control of her desires and doesn't shy away from expressing them. The song's throbbing beat adds to the sexual tension, matching the passion in the lyrics. The presence of Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly and Michelle adds to the energy of the song as they take turns to acknowledge their fans.
