The lyrics of "Dirty Picture" by Cruz Taio talk about a lustful craving for someone, and the desire to see them even when they're not there. The singer describes how it's difficult for him to see or think of anything else when he's not with the person he desires, and the only thing that can sate his desire is a picture. However, not just any picture will do - it has to be a "dirty" picture, emphasizing the sexual nature of the singer's desire. The chorus repeats the title of the song, urging the object of the singer's desire to send him a picture that satisfies his sexual cravings.
The verses continue with the same theme, urging the listener to fulfill the singer's sexual needs by taking a "dirty picture" for him, and emphasizing that he just wants to see the person's picture when they're not together. The bridge takes a slightly different direction, with the singer acknowledging the fact that, despite his desires, there are barriers to him seeing the person he desires in person. The song ends with the singer urging the person to send him a dirty picture, with sound effects of camera snaps and clicks punctuating the end.

The drop at 0:55 is just legendary. Hadn't listened to this song for 10 years, still remembered it.
@K_pax0703
The maximum dose of early 2010's in one song. Heavy beat in background, typical party banger melody, simple and catchy lyrics, kesha in the bathroom, taio with his sunglasses, and that retro motorola razr v3
@joeburreaux7953
I know everything about this music video and song just screams late 2010-early 2011.
