Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah, oh, ah, ah (EarDrummers)
Yeah (Mike Will Made-It)
Like that
No, right there
I'm just having fun
I hope you're having fun too
Listen to this

My body is your party, baby
Nobody's invited but you, baby
I can do it slow now, tell me what you want
Baby, put your phone down, you should turn it off
'Cause tonight it's going down, tell your boys it's going down
We in the zone now, don't stop, ooh

You can't keep your hands off me, touch me right there, rock my body
I can't keep my hands off you, your body is my party
I'm doing this little dance for you
You got me so excited
Now it's just me and you
Your body's my party, let's get it started, oh

Boy, you should know that your love is always on my mind
I'm not gonna fight it, I want it all the time
Boy, you should know that your love is always on my mind
And I can't it deny it, I want you, I'm on you

I can't lie, I won't lie, it's amazing
My faces, the places, you're taking me

Baby, take your time now, there's no need to rush
We can go another round, if that's what you want
'Cause tonight is going down, yeah, you know it's going down
We in the zone now, don't stop, ooh-oh

You can't keep your hands off me, touch me right there, rock my body
I can't keep my hands off you, your body is my party
I'm doing this little dance for you
You got me so excited
Now it's just me and you
Your body's my party, let's get it started, oh

Boy, you should know that your love is always on my mind
I'm not gonna fight it, I want it all the time
Boy, you should know that your love is always on my mind
And I can't deny it, I want you, I'm on you

The things I wanna do to you
My body's calling you
I'm having so much fun with you

Now it's just me and you
Your body's my party, let's get it started, oh

Overall Meaning

Ciara and Ne-Yo's "Body Party" is a sensual R&B track about a steamy night of passion. The song opens with producer Mike Will Made-It's signature tag and a slinky beat, before Ciara coos, "My body is your party, baby/Nobody's invited but you". She invites her lover to get close to her and let go of the outside world, encouraging him to turn off his phone and focus solely on their time together. The sultry chorus repeats the title phrase, while Ciara and Ne-Yo trade verses about their physical connection.

Ciara's lyrics are straightforward and direct, expressing her desire and excitement for her partner, with lines like "You can't keep your hands off me, touch me right there, rock my body", while Ne-Yo's verse is more romantic, emphasizing that his love for Ciara is always on his mind. The bridge is a playful nod to Ciara's dance background, as she sings, "I'm doing this little dance for you/You got me so excited". The song ends with Ciara promising to show her partner a good time and fulfill all of his desires, as she sings, "The things I wanna do to you/My body's calling you/I'm having so much fun with you/Now it's just me and you/Your body's my party, let's get it started, oh".

"Body Party" was released in 2013 as the lead single from Ciara's self-titled album, and received positive reviews from critics who praised its sensual lyrics, smooth production, and catchy chorus. It was also a commercial success, peaking at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top 10 in several other countries. The song's music video features Ciara performing a sexy dance routine for her real-life boyfriend, rapper Future, and also includes a cameo from Nicki Minaj.
