Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I wanna do and what I really think
Time to blow out
Be a little inappropriate
'Cause I know that everybody's thinking it
When the lights out
Shame on me
Uncontrollably
I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind
Whoa oh oh
I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind
Lately people got me all tied up
There's a countdown waiting for me to erupt
Time to blow out
I've been told who I should do it with
To keep both my hands above the blanket
When the lights out
Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably
I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind
I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind
Whoa oh oh
Shame, on me (shame on me)
To need, release (to need, release)
Uncontrollably (uncontrollably lably lably lably)
I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind
I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind
Whoa oh oh
The song "I Wanna Go" by Britney Spears is all about wanting to let loose and be a little wild. The opening lyrics describe being stuck in a routine and imagining doing something spontaneous and inappropriate. Britney sings about wanting to let out her inner freak and show everyone what thoughts she has running through her mind. The repeated line, "I wanna go all the way," emphasizes her desire to really go for it and not hold back.
The chorus reflects the same sentiment, with Britney singing about taking out her freak and showing off her dirtiest desires. The lyrics suggest that there may be people telling her who she should be with or what she should do, but she wants to throw caution to the wind and do what she truly wants. The song overall is a message of empowerment, encouraging listeners to let go of their inhibitions and do what makes them happy.
