The lyrics of Chris Brown's song "Wall to Wall" describes him as a popular party person with girls gravitating towards him. He talks about how he barely arrived at the party, and girls are already approaching him, asking for his phone number. Some girls get jealous, and others, mostly twins, want to get close to him. The chorus ("They packed up in here wall to wall and I don't hear nothing but ladies calling") showcases how girls surround him as they all try to get his attention. Brown declares that he is ready to dance with any girl that wants to prove herself on the dance floor, and he'll come along if any other girl offers him something different.
The song's main idea is the party lifestyle of Chris Brown and the girls that attract him. Brown dresses fancy ("Ain't been in here fifteen minutes"), has a lot of attention, and is ready for any girl that comes along. The lyrics also highlight how the girls' jealousy towards sharing him with others intensifies, and they let him know with attitude. Chris Brown, with his charm and swag, is ready to enjoy his night.
