Oh boy

I don't even look their way
Look their way look their way
Hate hate hate hate hate
I don't care what these chicks say
I don't even look their way
Look their way look their way

Every time I walk in the club
They hating on me cuz they know I look good
My hair done right and my dress real tight
All eyes on me I took the night
Every time I walk in the club
They hating on me cuz they know I look good
My hair done right and my dress real tight
All eyes on me I took the night
I took the night

All eyes on me I took the night

Look their way look their way

Every time I walk in the club
They hating on me cuz they know I look good
My hair done right and my dress real tight
All eyes on me I took the night
Every time I walk in the club
They hating on me cuz they know I look good
My hair done right and my dress real tight
All eyes on me I took the night

Overall Meaning

In Chelley's song "Took The Night," the singer seems to be addressing a group of girls who are talking about her and trying to bring her down. The lyrics are filled with confidence as Chelley dismisses their hatred and asserts that she is the center of attention. The first verse finds the girls questioning Chelley's stylish accessories - a Gucci bag, perhaps - as they wonder what exactly she thinks she's doing. But Chelley doesn't let their comments get to her, instead reiterating her belief that she looks great and that she's owning the dance floor.


The chorus is repeated several times and provides a sense of defiance as Chelley repeats the phrase "I don't care what these chicks say/I don't even look their way." She is clearly focused on her own appearance and the attention she's receiving, brushing off any negativity from her peers. The verses that follow expand on this point as Chelley confidently walks into the club and is met with envy and jealousy from the other girls. But again, she doesn't let the hate bother her, calling attention to her hair and dress as evidence that all eyes are on her.


Overall, "Took The Night" is a high-energy anthem that celebrates self-love and confidence in the face of negativity. Chelley doesn't let others bring her down and instead revels in her own beauty and magnetism, making it clear that she's the one in charge.
