Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time he call, I come,
But, this time I think about ME! (that's right!)
And what I need (that's right!)
Tonight I'm doin' ME! (that's right!)
And I ma hav' fun! (that's right!)
[Lil' Jon]
[Ciara]
That's my jam,
[Lil' Jon]
Get crunk, get crunk,
[Ciara]
That's right, that's right, (oh)
[Lil Jon]
Let's go, let's go, now ladies, let's go, let's go,
If you always, let's go, let's go, looking out for everybody else
Let's go, let's go, and not yo self, let's go, let's go,
Tonight is all about you, we gon party baby
C'mon, crunk that thing, c'mon [Repeat: x8]
I was driving, cruising on the highway
It was a Friday, midnight, when he called me
I was thinking "Hell no!"
I already know what he want, surprise, surprise
So I changed plans and made some arrangements
I wont be chasing, someone that's replacive, and,
That's when I called my girls up,
We about to hit the club
Tonight's the night (let's go)
You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over
Cause tonight I'm doing me
I'll call you in the morning (that's right)
Hanging with my girls
Until the break of dawn
You cant tell me no
Cause I can do what I want
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm having fun
Tonight I'm going out
That's right I'ma party
All night long
I'm turning off my phone
So we can get it on
Oh, oh, oh no no no no
Can't stand the emails
Asking for details (where you at?)
"when are you leaving?"
"when will you get here?"
Kept calling my cellphone
I send him straight to voice mail
Leave a message
I usually call back
This time I'ma fall back
I know what the real be
You just wanna see me
Cause he wanna
Tap, to tap, tap,tap, tap that,
[Lil' John]
(dat boot)
But he's not gonna get that (that booty)
(that booty)
If you think that its like that
Think again cause is not that
[Bridge]
You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over
Cause tonight I'm doing me
I'll call you in the morning (that's right)
Hanging with my girls
Until the break of dawn
You cant tell me no
Cause I can do what I want
[Chorus]
[Ciara]
I got my hands up on my back, back
Take it to the floor, floor
We gon rock, all night, that's right, take it down low, that's right
What's up? I'm hot tonight
What's up? we in the the spot tonight
What's up? that's right, that's right, that's right,
Like dis 'n dis 'n like that that that
JON drop the beat and bring it back, back, back!
Whats up? whats up? that's right, that's right
You like it? I like it!
You love it? I love it!
You want it? you want it?
Whats up? whats up?
You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over
Cause tonight I'm doing me
I'll call you in the morning (that's right)
Hanging with my girls
Until the break of dawn
You cant tell me no
Cause I can do what I want
[Chorus]
[Lil' Jon]
Crunk that thing, c'mon [Repeat: x8]
In the song "That's Right" by Ciara featuring Lil Jon, she sings about taking a break from always being there for her man and doing something for herself. She decides to spend a night out with her girlfriends and have fun. Lil Jon encourages the ladies to let loose and make the night all about them by chanting "Get crunk, let's go!" and "Tonight is all about you." Ciara acknowledges that her guy is trying to get her attention by calling her and sending her messages, but she ignores them and turns off her phone to focus on herself.
The lyrics reflect the importance of taking time out for oneself and prioritizing one's own needs. It's a common notion that women are expected to always be there for others, but the song urges them to take control of their own lives by doing what they want.
The repetitive chorus and the beat of the song make it a dance track that encourages people to let loose and have fun. The music video also shows Ciara and her friends dancing and having a good time at a club, emphasizing the theme of the song. The song became a popular hit, especially in clubs.

So I changed plans and made some arrangements
I adjusted my plans and made new ones that didn't involve him
I wont be chasing, someone that's replacive, and,

I've always loved how she's the type of artist who actually performs and dances. Her back up dancers have to keep up with her instead of it being vice versa!!
