Steppin To the Beat
DJ José Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I'm stepping to the beat
I think about everything that you said to me.
And how could you be so cold.
And how could this love oh-oh.
And I blame you.
Don't know what else to do.
As I'm walking down the street.
As I'm stepping to the beat.
I think about everything that you said to me.
And how could you be so cold.
And how could this love oh-oh
And I blame you.
Don't know what else to do.
As I'm walking down the street.
As I'm stepping to the beat.
I think about everything that you said to me.
And how could you be so cold.
And how could this love oh-oh.
And I blame you.
Don't know what else to do.
No one else… (x10)

The lyrics to "Stepping The Beat" by DJ Jose describe the inner turmoil of a person who is walking down the street while thinking about everything their partner said to them during their breakup. The repetition of the phrase "As I'm walking down the street, As I'm stepping to the beat" creates a sense of rhythm, as if the singer is trying to move forward from the pain they are feeling. The lyrics also express a sense of confusion and frustration directed at the ex-partner who was "so cold" and caused the end of the relationship. The phrase "And I blame you" encapsulates the hurt and anger felt by the singer, highlighting their inability to move on from the situation.
The song's upbeat melody and danceable rhythm create a juxtaposition with the melancholic words. This contrast makes the song a crowd-pleaser that can be played in a club or at a party. The lyrics, however, give an insight into the psychology of heartbreak, with someone trying to move on from a significant relationship. The focus on the internal dialogue of the singer as they try to rationalize what went wrong is an element many people can relate to.

As I'm walking down the street
While I am strolling on the pavement
As I'm stepping to the beat
And I am moving in rhythm with the music
I think about everything that you said to me
I ponder on every word uttered by you to me
And how could you be so cold
And I wonder how you could be so unfeeling
And how could this love oh-oh
I express my disbelief at the prospects of our relationship
And I blame you
Moreover, I hold you responsible for our predicament
Don't know what else to do
Sadly, I am at a loss on how to rectify things
No one else… (x10)
I repeat this phrase multiple times, indicating that I have no one else to blame or rely on
