Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I'ma be great to you
If you stay down for me
Then I'll stay awake for you, surprise
Slip my panties to the side
Give me your money, baby
I'll make it rain for you
The positions I play for you, surprise ('prise)
Tonight, you get my freaky side (side)
You like the way that I ride (ayy)
Give you a piece of the pie (ayy)
You say that you could just stay up and eat it
All morning and into the night (ayy, yeah)
You know I never get tired (ayy)
Teasing you just how I like (ayy)
Yeah, we both winning, I give you the business
But you the one wearing the tie
Work that like how you should
Build me up, baby, give me that wood
Make it gangsta, 'cause I like it real hood
Knock it down low, this how it go, oh-oh
If you be good to me
Then I'ma be great to you
If you stay down for me
Then I'll stay awake for you, surprise ('prise)
Slip my panties to the side (side, side, side)
Give me your money, baby

Tonight, you get my freaky side (side, ayy)

So you could take me down (ayy)
My lipstick on your zipper

Chlöe begins her song "Surprise" with attitude and confidence, asserting that if her lover treats her right, she will reciprocate by being great to him, staying up all night and delivering a surprise. She invites her lover to take control by slipping her panties to the side, as she promises to make it rain for him. Chlöe loves teasing her partner and aiming to please him in different positions and ways. She wants to show her "freaky side" and give him a part of heaven. The chorus emphasizes the idea of mutual pleasure and respect in a relationship, and the importance of both partners to maintain their end of the deal to keep the passion alive. The song conveys an undercurrent of sexual energy and desire, with lines about making neighbors proud, working and knocking it down low.
The song is about the sexual liberation and empowerment of a woman in a relationship, her willingness to satisfy her lover, and her satisfaction when loved the same way. It also highlights the importance of equality in a relationship and the mutual pleasure both partners should strive to achieve. The lyrics express boldness, playfulness and vulnerability and showcase Chlöe's vocal range and seductive style.
