Overall Meaning

The song "Any Way You Want It Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'" is a classic rock song originally performed by the band Journey in 1980. The version performed on Glee by Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, and Naya Rivera features the same lyrics and upbeat tempo. The song tells the story of a woman who loves to laugh, sing, and move to the beat of her own drum. The chorus emphasizes the importance of allowing people to be themselves, stating that "any way you want it, that's the way you need it."

The second verse diverges from the first, telling the story of a man who is unfaithful to his lover. He is "lovin', touchin', squeezin'" another woman, leaving his partner alone and heartbroken. Despite the darker theme of infidelity, the chorus remains the same, driving home the message of acceptance and allowing everyone to be who they truly are.

Overall, the song is an uplifting and optimistic ode to individuality and freedom, combined with a catchy melody and high energy instrumentation.
