Pay My Rent
DNCE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been running now, running so smoothly
We'll never slow down
Been thinkin' now, thinking down on one knee
Time to say it out loud

When you love so good
Wanna give you every hour
If you said you could
I would give you all the power

But would you pay my rent?
Would you pay my rent?
Would you, would you, would you get your love well spent?
Would you pay my rent?
Would you, would you, would you, would you pay my rent?

I'll never say never to your wishes
I'll never let you fall
You always know, always know I'm with it
I'm always on call

When you love so good (Love so good)
Wanna give you every hour
If you said you could (Said you could)
I would give you all the power

But would you pay my rent?
Would you pay my rent?
Would you, would you, would you get your love well spent?
Would you pay my rent?
Would you, would you, would you

How can you love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money right
Love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money
Love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money right
Love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money
Love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money right
Love me right, love me right (You gotta get your money right girl)
If you don't get your money right

When you love so good (Love so good)
Wanna give you every hour
If you said you could (Said you could)
I would give you all the power

But would you pay my rent?
Would you pay my rent?
Would you, would you, would you get your love well spent?
Would you pay my rent?
Would you, would you, would you

How can you love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money right
Love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money
Love me right, love me right
If you don't get your money right
Love me right, love me right
If you don't get your





Would you pay my rent?

Overall Meaning

"Pay My Rent" by DNCE is a fun and playful song about a relationship where the singer is willing to give their all to their partner, but they ask if that partner would be willing to pay their rent. The song starts with the singer talking about how they have been running smoothly, but it's time to slow down and say something significant out loud. They then proceed to tell their partner that they love so good and want to give them all the hours they have but, they need their rent paid. The chorus is catchy and repetitive, asking the partner if they would pay their rent and get their love well spent. The bridge offers some more insight into the song's message, stating that it's challenging to love someone right if their money isn't right.


One interpretation of the song may be that the singer is tired of being with partners who don't contribute financially and are only in a relationship for the emotional connection. The song is not necessarily about money, but it's more about wanting a partner who can hold their end of the bargain and contribute financially to the relationship. DNCE's "Pay My Rent" is a playful way to tackle a serious matter in a lighthearted manner.
