Turn It Up
Ciara (Ft Usher) Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm

Yeah, yeah
Continuing to express excitement and enthusiasm

It's home, we're all right here, A-Town
Acknowledging the local Atlanta culture and setting of the song

(I like this) yeah
Reinforcing the enjoyment of the atmosphere

You know I like this (yeah, yeah)
Reinforcing the enjoyment of the atmosphere

CeCe, Usher baby
Mentioning the artist and featuring artist

I want it hot, I want it loud, make it loud, make it loud
Expressing a desire for a lively and high-energy environment

Make it boom boom, make it boom boom
Asking for the artists to provide a bass-heavy sound

The speakers loud, making rumble
Noting the presence of bass in the music

Turn this club into a jungle, jungle
Metaphorically comparing the lively club atmosphere to a wild jungle environment

And everybody knows it's on tonight
Indicating that the energy level is high and the night is expected to be a good one

Beat's like it's strong, it feels so right
Describing the strong and enjoyable beat of the music

Feel like I'm alone here in a crowd, just me and my song
Experiencing a personal and emotional connection to the music

Play it loud
Asking for the music to be played loudly

I love it loud, can you turn it up? Hey, hey
Expressing a desire for the music to be louder

Those speakers out when we turn it up, hey, hey
Noting the effect of turning up the volume on the artists

Turn it so loud, we can raise the dead
Metaphorically describing the intense volume and its effect on the listener

Hey, hey, brings them out of the grave
Continuing the metaphor of the previous line

(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up)
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Turn it up (turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up)
Requesting to turn up the volume again

Turn it up (turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up)
Requesting to turn up the volume again

Turn it (turn it up, up, up)
Ending the repeated request to turn up the volume

(Turn it up, up, up)
Ending the repeated request to turn up the volume

Usher baby
Referencing the featuring artist

Put it up, turn it up
Asking for the volume to be turned up

Let go, I know you want to
Encouraging the listener to let loose and enjoy the music

I have to see you move it, move it
Encouraging the listener to dance and move along with the music

Shake it up, shake it up
Encouraging the listener to shake their body to the music

I can't help myself, I want you
Expressing attraction to someone else in the club

Put it, put that that booty on me, on me, me (oh)
Asking the other person to dance and be physical with the singer

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Oh now turn it up (turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up)
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Turn it up, baby (turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up)
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Turn it up, up, up
Ending the repeated request to turn up the volume

I turn it up till the beat drop
Describing the act of turning up the volume until a beat drop occurs in the music

I make it hot like a beat drop
Metaphorically describing the intense and exciting atmosphere of the club

You see that booty she movin'?
Noticing someone else in the club dancing and moving to the music

I like the way when you mouth try
Expressing an attraction to someone else in the club

Ooh don't stop, stop, keep it up
Encouraging the other person to continue dancing and moving to the music

I think I'm falling in love
Having feelings of attraction towards the other person

Now get me ready to slow it down
Transitioning to a different mood and tempo of music

I love it loud, can you turn it up? Hey, hey
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Those speakers out when we turn it up (I love the music loud baby)
Stating a preference for loud music using endearing language

Hey, hey, turn it so loud, you can raise the dead
Repeating the metaphor from earlier about the intense volume of the music

Hey, hey, brings them out of the grave
Continuing the metaphor of the previous line

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Oh now turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up (oh yeah)
Repeating the request to turn up the volume

Turn it up, up, up (I love the music loud baby)
Affirming the preference for loud music using endearing language

Turn it up, up, up (yeah)
Ending the song with a final repeated request to turn up the volume
