Nah, nah, yeah
(Cake by the ocean)

Oh, no
See you walkin' 'round like it's a funeral
Not so serious, girl, why those feet cold?
We just gettin' started, don't you tiptoe, tiptoe (ah)
Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece (huh)
You should be rollin' with me, you should be rollin' with me (ah-ah-ah)
You're a real-life fantasy, you're a real-life fantasy (huh)
But you're movin' so carefully, let's start livin' dangerously

Talk to me, baby
I'm goin' blind from this sweet-sweet cravin', whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)
Walk for me, baby
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)

Goddamn
See you lickin' frostin' from your own hands
Want another taste, I'm beggin', "Yes, ma'am"
I'm tired of all this candy on the dry land, dry land, ooh

Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece (huh)
You should be rollin' with me, you should be rollin' with me (ah-ah-ah)
You're a real-life fantasy, you're a real-life fantasy (huh)
But you're movin' so carefully, let's start livin' dangerously (whoa-oh)

Talk to me, baby
I'm goin' blind from this sweet-sweet cravin', whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy (ah)
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)
Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)

Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)

Let's lose our minds and go (and go what?), fuckin' crazy (that's right)
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' (I'm ready), we'll eat cake by the ocean (ah, yeah)

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Funfetti, I'm ready, I need it every night




Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)

Overall Meaning

In the song "Cake By The Ocean" by DNCE, the band expresses their desire to live in the moment and enjoy the pleasures of life with a special someone. The title of the song itself is a reference to a misunderstanding between the band and a Swedish producer who kept saying "sex on the beach" instead of "cake by the ocean". The opening lines describe the girl as seemingly uninterested in having fun and inviting her to let go of her seriousness and indulge in the simple things in life. The lyrics emphasize living dangerously and losing oneself in the moment, with the lines "Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy" serving as a call to action.


The chorus expresses a sweet tooth craving - in this case, the sweet craving when it comes to intimacy. The song is about letting go of inhibitions and enjoying the moment with someone you are attracted to. The constant refrain of "I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean" reinforces this sentiment, with the phrase 'cake by the ocean' intended to represent a fantasy and a metaphor for indulgence, specifically, pleasure-seeking as if having "sex on the beach" without actually having sex on a beach.

Maulana Alif Ramadhan

Jorjia, bawalah diriku
ku ingin, menggenggam tanganmu
Takkan ku lepas dirimu lagi
Seperti yang ku katakan

Takkan ku jatuh cinta sampai ku temukannya
Ku bilang takkan jatuh cinta selain dirimu
Tersesat tak berdaya, lalu ku temukannya
Dirimulah

Jorjia, tariklah diriku
Cinta kepadanya lagi
Takkan ku lepas dirimu lagi
Seperti yang ku katakan

Takkan ku jatuh cinta sampai ku temukannya
Ku bilang takkan jatuh cinta selain dirimu
Tersesat tak berdaya, lalu ku temukannya
Dirimulah

Takkan ku jatuh cinta sampai ku temukannya
Ku bilang takkan jatuh cinta selain dirimu
Tersesat tak berdaya, lalu ku temukannya
Dirimulah
