Take Off
Conor Maynard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the B-boys, break it down girl
I see you brushing them off of your shoulder
I can feel it, getting louder
Can't keep our feet on the ground for much longer
They wanna close, the lights come up, but no way
So follow me and we can hit the runway

Break it down now
Shake the ground now
Wanna hear you scream loud with the countdown, (5)
With the countdown, (4)
With the countdown, (3, 2, 1)

Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Out of sight
Say goodbye and we disappear
Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Can't take us, can't take us
Gone from the atmosphere

The heat is rising, getting wilder
All the ladies look like a damn poster
Grab your girlfriend, pull her closer
Make her ride it, ride it, roller coaster
They can try to shut this down, but no way
We're taking off, It's time to clear the runway

Break it down now
Shake the ground now
Wanna hear you scream loud with the countdown, (5)
With the countdown, (4)
With the countdown, (3, 2, 1)

Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Out of sight
Say goodbye and we disappear
Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Can't take us, can't take us
Gone from the atmosphere

I can make you fly cause
Can't nobody stop us
I can make you fly cause'
Come and join the mile high club

Break it down now,
Shake the ground now,
Wanna hear you scream loud with the countdown, (5)
With the countdown, (4)
With the countdown, (3, 2, 1)

Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Out of sight
Say goodbye and we disappear
Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Can't take us, can't take us
Gone from the atmosphere
Gone from the atmosphere

Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Out of sight
Say goodbye and we disappear
Let's take off tonight
Going in so hard that the world can't take us
Can't take us, can't take us
Gone from the atmosphere




Can't take us, can't take us
Gone from the atmosphere

Overall Meaning

In Conor Maynard’s song Take Off, the singer is feeling the music and getting carried away by the rhythm, constantly using references to planes and take-offs to demonstrate the power and energy of the music. He sees breakdancers at the club and calls on one of the girls there to dance with him. He calls for the music to break down and for the ground to shake. The countdown starts and everybody screams and goes wild. The lyrics "all the ladies look like a damn poster” refer to how the girls look when they dance, and Conor calls on everyone to dance closer together. The lights are about to come up, but Conor isn't ready to end the night just yet. He guides his companion to the runway, signaling that they are preparing to take off for the night. The music gets louder and more intense, calling for them to take on the world that cannot contain them.


Take Off is all about embracing the night and going wild with everybody else. It demonstrates how people can come together and create something magical that could take them to the skies, away from the real world. The lyrics also reference the β€˜mile high club,’ which is a club for those who have had sexual intercourse on an airplane in flight. The high energy and excitement of the song create a picture of a wild and electric atmosphere.
