It was a Friday, midnight, when he called me
I was thinking "Hell no"
I already know what he wants surprise, surprise
So I changed plans and made some arrangements
I won't be chasing, someone that's replacing
That's when I called my girls up
We about to hit the club up
Tonight's the night (let's go)

You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over (that's right)
Tonight I'm doing me
I'll call you in the morning (that's right)
Hanging with my girls
Until the break of dawn (that's right)
You can't tell me no
'Cause I can do what I want (that's right)

Tonight I'm having fun
Tonight I'm going out
Let's ride up in a party
All night long
I'm turning off my phone
So we can get it on
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-ooh

He kept sending e-mails
Asking for details (hey)
"When are you leaving?"
"When will you get here?" (Hey)
Kept calling my cell phone
I send him straight to voice mail
Leave a message
I usually call back
This time I won't fall back
I know what the real be
You just wanna see me
'Cause he wanna

Tap, to tap, tap, tap, tap (that booty)
But he's not gonna get (that booty)
If he think that it's like that uh)
He can think that's nothing

You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over (that's right)
Tonight I'm doing me
I'll call you in the morning (that's right)
Hanging with my girls
Until the break of dawn (that's right)
You can't tell me no
'Cause I can do what I want (that's right)

Tonight I'm having fun
Tonight I'm going out
Let's ride up in a party
All night long

Overall Meaning

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.

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!!
