For shining your light on me
Here we go (here we go)

The beginning of the song features Chris Brown thanking God for shining his light on him, which could be interpreted as a way of expressing gratitude for the success he has received. The rest of the song is about partying and enjoying the moment with a temporary lover. He invites the woman to his place and encourages her to live in the moment because tomorrow has nothing to do with right now. The lyrics suggest that the two of them will stay up all night until she is satisfied, and there is no need to worry about the consequences.
The song features Lil Jon who brings his signature ad-libs and adds to the party vibe of the track. The song features trap-influenced production, with a bouncing beat and catchy melody. The song's lyrics reflect an attitude of living in the moment and not worrying about the future or the consequences of one's actions. The song can be interpreted as a celebration of hedonism and living life to the fullest.
